Air Racer
Do you have what it takes to maneuver these speedsters of the skies? Hop in a vehicle of your choice and race and roll through the obstacles recreated from heroic tales of ace pilots high in the Carolina sky. Air Racer delivers an exciting ride combined with impressive visuals due to its uniquely designed experience.
Gear Spin
What if a ginormous, red-hot propulsion engine—normally used to thrust an aircraft through the atmosphere—was outfitted with seats for riders? What if the engine’s extreme power and force created a speeding, spinning adventure reserved for only the bravest riders? Say hello to Gear Spin.
Hover & Dodge
Aspiring hovercraft pilots can learn the ropes in the specially designed, cosmic training ground. But there is a wacky twist: In this futuristic version of bumper cars, these are transformed hot rods into hovercrafts—and they are prone to malfunction and bump into each for a high-larious time.
Air Walker
Our aviation experts are testing the limits of an experimental aircraft engine and need your help. New lift and propulsion technologies simulated in this rotating ride can make planes faster but sometimes unstable. Willing to take a spin and put the latest and greatest thrill machine to the test?
Gyro Force
Located inside secret testing grounds, the X-J1 is used to evaluate new lift and propulsion technologies. The wild experimental engine design on this experience is bigger and faster, and maybe a little unstable, and requires brave test pilots daily to help advance this exciting research.

The randomized launch sequence will make it impossible for anyone to know their destiny until it is too late to escape the clutches of Montezooma. Only those brave enough can make it through the final challenge and find themselves at the home of the hidden Aztec treasure in MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress.

Honestly think it's a dumb addition. Doesn't meet any needs the park has other than "capacity" and fills no niche that wasn't unfilled. They need indoor attractions in the worst way.

I wish that DW would have pursued another inversion machine. And Vekoma is a poor choice to get the contract. I can't help but hold against them the fact that they bankrupted, left several rides without an operational manufacturer, and then formed into a new company that cannot be sued for the inevitable injuries that will occur on the old company's rides. Who's to say that this process could not repeat and then Vekoma forms yet a third "new company"? It's an unnecessary risk for DW to invest into a major Vekoma ride, especially one with zero inversions.

As I've said before, DW and other parks have a thrill base audience that can only be ignored for so long. Yes, I know that families spend more money there, but I'd dare say that families with young children make up a minority of DW's visitors. The competition for attendance and guests that will have a lasting impact on the park will *not* be won by opening rides by a questionable manufacturer.
