- To launch the incredible experience, Formula Rossa uses up to 20,800 horsepower and propels guests 171 feet above the ground in less than 5 seconds
- Flying Aces is the world’s first bi-plane themed roller coaster; this fascinating attraction mimics the movements of the 1900s bi-planes to offer extreme gravity-defying flight acrobatics
