The coaster combines elements of a dark ride and educational technology in order to simulate a daring training session and mission to Mars.
Exiting the building, the ride makes a 90° turn into the first of two tire propelled launches, enabling riders to reach their max speed of 34.2 mph (55.0 km/h), as well as letting the cars spin freely throughout the layout.
The train navigates a curved airtime hill, a valley below the ride entrance, and a turnaround before hitting the second tunneled tire propelled launch.
A sudden 5-metre (16 ft) drop track sends riders into a brief freefall, before making a final left hand turn into the station platform.
[citation needed] Objectif Mars has a total track length of 1,640 feet (500 m) and can hit a top speed of 34.2 mph (55.0 km/h) via the usage of a pair of tire propelled launches.
The physical resistance of riders is tested against controlled amounts of g-forces, heat, electromagnetic fields, and weightlessness throughout the ride, in preparation towards a daring mission to the planet Mars.
