The track into the brake run, like most Intamin coasters, features a small hill that allows the train to ease into the brakes more easily by reducing the speed with gravity, and also to allow for a downward slope in the brake run so that it can be gravity-fed into the station to reduce wear and energy requirements.

Trains will launch directly out of the station. The coaster will feature separate load and unload stations which will allow the coaster to achieve better efficiency.
