The Twisted Impulse Coaster combines two vertical drops; one with a twist, one with a genuine freefall effect, or with a twist on each end.  

Passengers experience two different effects as they first face upwards and then face downwards, feet dangling free, from heights of 57m (187 ft) and speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph). The ride is available with or without a holding brake on the straight drop. Passengers are secured by a shoulder restraint system. The catapult propulsion is executed by Linear Induction Motor (LIM).  

The eddy-current braking system operates with astonishing smoothness, and is capable of safely stopping a 100 km/h fast train within a distance of 45 m (148 ft). The final positioning at the station is executed by the linear motor.
