When the train is about to launch, at the exterior portion of the building, flames can be seen come out from the chimney and the barrels positioned outside the building burst out water. At the same time, a short audio track is played with a voice of a man that says: “Hey, that area is restricted! You’re too close to that nitro! Do you smell smoke?” The train then moves forward from the nitro shed and the stop lights go and flames would shoot out of the shed, then the train ride starts. Powder Keg launches from 0 to 53 miles an hour in just 2.8 seconds and combines the velocity of the compressed air-launch and gravitational forces at a speed of 64 miles an hour.
The train will go up and down the hills many times and speed through many tight turns and then slowly travels up in a chain lift hill while bluegrass music is being played. From here the train will take a 90 degree turn before going down a steep 110 foot drop. Riders will then soar high through the trees over 3,500 feet of track for a truly complete thrill ride experience. At the end of the roaster ride, it travels through a big helix that almost turns the track upside down completely before it slams into the final brakes and turns into the launching station.
