Ride experience

File:Dive Coaster - SheiKra layout - no background.svg

The layout of the ride is identical to SheiKra at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

Once riders are seated and restrained, the train makes a right out of the station and begins to climb the 65-metre (213 ft) lift hill. Once at the top, the train makes a U-turn to the right and comes to a stop by a holding brake, right before dropping. After a few seconds, the train drops and enters an immelman loop. The train then enters the mid course brake run, drops into a tunnel and makes a right turn, dropping into the splashdown element. Riders then go through a couple turns and dips and enter the final brake run.
