The layout of the ride is pretty simple. It is a triangle that goes around the park twice. The outside legs are each one hill and then turn. The inside legs are two and turn.
Here is the first drop. You get air on it in the middle and back, but not the front.

From there you go directly into the outside of this curve. There is no air on it. Going away from the camera all three pics:

That curve is in the far right in the following pic. The next long hill on the far side in this pic has great air in every seat and is long in the back and longer in the front. You are going from right to left.

Another pic of the same hill, this time on the near side, going left to right.

From there you go into the lower, outside, turn in the pic below. Normally I would sit on the right for a coaster that always turns left, but the head chopper is better on the left. Half way thru this turn you get a small pop of air that is pleasant and increases the head chopper effect. This happens in all seats, but the middle seems particularly good. You are coming towards the camera.

From that turn you go into the long taller hill in the photos below. This is the longest sustained airtime of the entire ride in the front, and it is great in every seat.

At the end of that hill you are flying by the station and go into the turn that crosses over the track that takes you to the lift. There is no air on the turn and the train loses a tad bit of speed. It is a little less forceful than the other turns as it is built to go around the station, and cannot drop as low at the end since it is right over the log flume. There are no pics of this area on rcdb since the turn was built.
After that there are two bunny hills in a row on the inside of the lift hill. Here they are before construction was complete and before the turn leading into them was started.

The second bunny hill is in the first pic below. There is great air on both of them, but the second is stronger than the first, and the hill is smaller. That second hill has the strongest ejector air of the ride for the front seat. Most of the rest of the ride, the air in the back is a bit stronger, but not as long. The entry back into the station is the other exception.

The following are not good pics of the first of those 2 bunny hops, but it is behind the lift and a tree in the pic below. Trains going from left to right.

You can see the drop a little better in this pic, coming toward the camera.

After that you go into the lower, inside turn in the pics below. This is the hardest lateral on the ride and the rider on the left will hit the one on the right if s/he does not hold on. There is no air on that turn. Going away from the camera:

From there you go into another 2 bunny hills in a row. Just like last time, the first is bigger than the second, they both have awesome air, and the second has stronger air than the first. You can see the first of the two in the pic below on the near side below the yellow sign, coming towards the camera.

This is not a good pic of that second hill, but you can sort of see it on the far side below after the drop that is clearly visible, trains traveling left to right.

From there you go into the only turn that is higher on the inside and provides the head chopper for the outside turn. In the pic below, you are traveling toward the camera. This hill is kind of quirky in that it only provides air sometimes. If I had to guess, it would only be 1 out of 7-8 laps has some air here. When it does, it is not much.

Another photo of the same turn. Notice the hair in the back.

From there you go into 2 bunny hills, the second topping out into the break run. Both have air in every seat. It was surprising to me to have air in the back just going up into the breaks. It is a lot less than the front, but you do come off your seat.
