The ride is designed to rock back and forth, before making several inversions, although the gondola can be inverted from a standing start thanks to being counterweighted.

Unlike most pendulum rides, the Ranger is reliant primarily on the motors to invert, as opposed to momentum.

The ride is capable of maintaining a speed of 8 revolutions per minute, and the gondola and arm weigh 65 tons.

A large rectangular pad is hydraulically pushed into the passengers' stomachs, keeping them pinned to the seats.

Keeping the stomach firm while the restraints are being deployed is enough to prevent major discomfort during the ride.
