Upright again, the car reverses back into the loading station.

At the end of the brake track the car reverses onto a sloping bit of of track to the lower level, and guide bars transition riders from on their backs to vertical again.

Suddenly the car is released, and freefalls down. The track curves to horizontal, where it is brought to a stop. The ride pre-dates electromagnetic braking systems, meaning a horizontal brake track was the only feasible way to slow the cars down.

Cars reverse out of the station, and travel up a lift inside the tower.

The ride operates somewhat like a roller coaster, in that it has a series of cars that run around a a loop circuit (unlike modern drop rides where you are lifted up and dropped down a vertical track)
