Each train had four cars seating six riders each in two rows of two.[3] However, for the 2015 season, these trains were replaced by Timberliner trains from Cincinnati, Ohio-based Gravitykraft Corporation. The coaster now uses two trains, each of which has 12 cars seating two riders; this allows for a total of 24 riders per train.[1]
