After receiving several proposals for the new attraction, the park decided to partner with Arrow Development to create Trailblazer.

Based off of an illustration of the ride in a 1974 Souvenir book printed before the coaster was finalized, it is speculated that two lift hills may have been a part of a different proposed layout.

After passing through the storage transfer track, the train makes a slight curve to the left into the lift hill.

After cresting the lift, the train momentarily flattens out, then begins a slight descending curve to the right, passing over part of the queue line for Storm Runner.

After exiting the helix, the train continues on an upward sloping right hand turn into the final brake run before returning to the station.
