The only one of its kind in North America, this ride was originally erected in New Jersey at Six Flags Great Adventure (1986-1988) utilizing a 90 degree vertical lift.  When relocated to Astroworld, TOGO worked with the park to adjust the lift to 45 degrees.  The ride's layout still features a headfirst initial drop and three barrel rolls, one forward and two in reverse.
