	The ride features a spiral lift hill that keeps the ride compact, while also giving riders 360° views during the ascent. The ride ~~travels~~ through a series of sudden drops and tight helices. The layout of the cars is not that of a standard roller coaster, but more like a log flume. Each car ~~has~~ three long seats that fit two to three people. Riders sit single file, and it is required that at least two people sit in each seat. There is no single rider line, so you must have a partner to ride. The inline seating means that the car is quite slim, which ~~allows~~ it to perform some very tight turns and banks.

	At the end of the 2004 season Jet Star was closed and dismantled. Parts of the ride, including some track pieces were re-manufactured and repainted. The ride remained under refurbishment until the middle of the 2005 season when the ride was reopened. The ride is said to run much more smoothly after being refurbished. The new paint job ~~makes~~ the ride stand out prominently on the north midway.		At the end of the 2004 season Jet Star was closed and dismantled.
