Once at the top, riders will be sent plummeting down 3,000 feet of tracks through the Colorado mountains.
The alpine ride can reach up to 27 miles per hour as you fly down the rails, but you'll be controlling the speed.
A spokesperson for MMC shared with Narcity that the ride is Colorado's only mountain coaster on the Front Range section of the Rocky Mountains.
Located in Estes Park, the coaster is a convenient drive from both Boulder and Denver.
Tickets for the ride start at $20 for a single trip down the mountain. Guests can also get a 3-ride pass for $35 or an all-day pass for $65.
