Pipeline isn’t just a coaster — it’s designed to feel like surfing. Riders stand on surfboard-shaped vehicles with a special dynamic restraint system that shifts slightly during airtime and turns, mimicking the feeling of catching and riding a wave. The coaster takes you up to 110 ft, through twists, overbanked turns, helixes, and a signature inversion inspired by a surfing move.
