According to the announcement, the Gravity Group, a Cincinnati-based wooden rollercoaster design firm, will be "breathing new life" into the coaster's first drop and through the first tunnel towards the second drop. The Gravity Group is the same firm that refreshed another Kings Island favorite, the Racer, last winter.
Along with the Gravity Group, Kings Island's carpenters will also re-track approximately 1,090 feet of the 7,359-foot long ride.
