This ride has three very different cycles. they are Turbo Drop, Space Shot, and Combo.
Turbo Drop - This cycle is VERY suspenseful. You start out by lifting up 205 feet to the top. then you wait there, usually for about 10 or 15 seconds, depending on the crowds. If the crowds are light you hang up there for 15 seconds, if they are heavy, your only up there for 10 seconds. But it dosent matter how long your up there because it feels like an eternity. When your up there all you can do is look out, or look down. After your suspenseful 10 seconds at the top, you DROP, but it isnt a regular drop, you are actually pushed twards the ground, and thats what makes it so intense. Then you do some bounces, and come back down to the ground.
Space Shot - To me, this is the worst cycle, and unfortunately, the cycle they use the most.Although, it is VERY suspenseful. You sit there at the bottom... and wait... and wait... until you hear a burst of air, then BAM your 200 ft. in the air, and all you can do is go down. Then, the ride gets boring. You just slowly go down to the ground. So basically, you just shoot up, and experience about 2 seconds of weightlessness.
Combo - This is definetely the best of the three cycles. You start out with a space shot, but then after that, you stop right in the middle of the tower for a second, and then start to go back up slowly. Then once your at the top, it turns into a turbo drop mode, and you shoot down to earth. So this mode is a combimation of both space shot, and turbo drop. Its amazing.
