“The first slide is straight down,” Carpenter said. “The second slide twists around and the riders of both slides end up in a catch pool. The unique thing is the capsule launch.”

Carpenter said the straight drop ride lasts for about 10 seconds, while the twisting slide continues for approximately 30 seconds. The two slides are located on Taboo Tower.
