The rollercoaster is an armored flowy trail that starts off with a dive into some roots followed by a sharp berm into a little sand and a hill climb. After that entry fee, the trail dips slighty over wood boardwalk and back up the other side. From there the features repeat and progressively get steeper and steeper. As you pickup speed in each dip there are optional wooden berm walls that can be ridden or bypassed.

The rollercoaster is right next to an access trail with jumps/dirt hills. At any point if the trail gets intimidating you can bail back to the access trail. As you get comfortable and start easing off the brakes, you'll find that the trail has a very nice flow to it.

Disclaimer

THE BOARDWALKS AND BERMS ARE VERY SLIPPERY WHEN WET OR DAMP! Use caution as many people have been injured slipping on damp/wet boardwalks!
