Ride Experience: What to Expect
MP Xpress is a super-fast ride that will take your breath away! It stretches for about 2,260 feet (that's 689 meters) of track. You'll zoom along at a top speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h). The whole ride lasts for about 1 minute and 26 seconds.
Upside-Down Fun: Inversions
One of the coolest parts of MP Xpress is its five inversions. An inversion is when the roller coaster turns you completely upside down! On this ride, you'll experience:
- A Roll Over: This is like a giant loop that flips you over.
- A Sidewinder: This twist combines a loop and a corkscrew.
- A Double In-Line Twist: This means you'll spin twice in a row!
How the Ride Works
MP Xpress uses two trains to keep the fun going. Each train has 10 cars, and two people can sit in each car. This means the ride can handle a lot of excited riders! It can move about 1040 people every hour, so the line moves pretty fast.
