Lift: 149
Drop: 123
The inverted PATRIOT delivers two minutes and 18 seconds of the ultimate amusement park adventure by exposing riders to height, speed and a seamless transition of gravity-defying elements. Hanging beneath the track, thrill-seekers climb a 149-foot lift hill, then plunge down a 123-foot curved drop reaching a speed of nearly 60-MPH. Riders are disoriented as they fly through seven gravity-defying elements, including an 89-foot vertical loop, a zero-gravity roll, an Immelmann loop, an inclined banked curve, an s-curve, a corkscrew, and a high-speed spiral.

The elevation change from the top of the lift to the entrance of the Immelman is pretty big!! I am loving the B&Ms this year -- they are going to keep their speed throughout yay.

Fate is the path of least resistance.
Just the thought of getting two of my all time fav type of coaster is getting me giddy, though. :)

I'm in no way upset that it isn't a clone. Congrats to Cedar Fair for a great layout, original name and color scheme. I was just wondering why it wasn't a clone because it's something I would have expected (being that it IS so similar to Talon). ;)
I'm not bashing. Just curious is all. :)
Anyways I'm not complaining because I happen to like Talon and this is a great addition to WOF IMO.
