Then, the ride will either glide into the brake run and travel back toward the station, or may come to a sudden stop if it is operating with three trains and another train is already in the station. The ride's finale is a quick 85 degree banked helix to the right before a quick S-Turn, which creates the sensation that the train will run into one of the lift supports. The ride then travels through an inclined helix to the left before diving into the second flatspin. The on-ride photo is taken directly after the first flatspin. After a very quick breather during the mid-course brakes, the train whips into a twisting left-hand drop into a flatspin under the brake run. Medusa then features a dive loop to the left and a zero-G roll. The drop is followed by a 128 feet (39 m) vertical loop. After that is the large 150 feet (46 m) drop which achieves the same height as the lift hill despite the B&M Pre-Drop by dipping below ground level into a pit. At the top is a B&M pre-drop followed by a right turn. The ride starts with a large left-hand turnaround out of the station and onto the lift hill.
