Sky Rider starts by going down a steep 95 ft. hill into a vertical loop. Then it goes down another steep hill and into a large baked helix. Then it goes through a camel hump and banks from one side to the other and goes up hill into more camel humps before coming into the station. The Sky Rider is a fun and thrilling ride. You feel like you're falling out of you're seat.
