The ride hugs the shores of Lake Shafer, parallels most of the boardwalk, and suddenly turns near the Giant Gondola Wheel.

Hurricane's structure is shared with nearby Cornball Express for a small portion of the ride (the S-turn before the drop).

Hoosier Hurricane is designed to accommodate 2 trains, but due to low attendance, the park typically only runs 1, and wait times are generally short.

The Hoosier Hurricane starts off with boarding the trains (designed by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters) and pulling down the "buzz bar" restraint before dispatch.

The train then enters a double-up before making a slight right turn and going down a hill under the suspension bridge located at the south end of the park.
