A double up at the end of the track leads to the "finish" line. A sensor detects the train that came first, and a flashing light is activated in the station of the winning track to show everyone waiting who won.

To some extent, riders can influence the outcome of the race by trying to get heavier riders in their train, and by hunkering down in their seats to reduce wind resistance.

The ride certainly hits a good balance between thrills and that pure "fun" factor.

After another turnaround the two tracks braid over and under each other repeatedly (Similar to a "twister" water slide) before a dueling turnaround where the trains fly by each other in opposite directions (like two trucks passing on a highway).

This echoing tunnel provides the "thunder" as the trains speed through.

Lightning Racer is exactly that, a fast paced, twin tracked coaster where trains are dispatched simultaneously and race each other on their respective courses.
