Greezed Lightnin' is the only ride of its kind in the region. It propels riders from zero to 57 mph in less than six seconds through a 76-foot-tall loop, then goes up a 70-degree incline where it reverses directions and then travels backwards through the loop to end on a steep incline on the opposite end.
