The ride starts off at a slow spin, propelling the sweeps upward due to both centrifugal force and a pneumatic cylinder piston with connected differential housed in the center shaft. The speed is increased until the cars reach their maximum height propelled by the motor then pneumatics are engaged. The operator will then begin to ("bounce" or "pop") the sweeps by sending the ride into a freewheel mode that cuts the ride to half drive then hitting a zoom button that fills the top portion of the center cylinder with air yanking the sweeps upward, when the operator lets off the button air is rapidly bled through the differential back to the top part of the cylinder (all extra air bleeding out a bypass pressure valve resulting in the familiar pop or blast of air complementary and well known to the ride) resulting in the sweeps dropping and using the lower supplied air from the top part of the cylinder through the differential to make a cushioned bounce until the operator zooms the sweeps upward again. This is repeated multiple times before the ride tops off to its max allowable height. The operator can then top the ride off as many times as they want by hitting the zoom every other bounce, manufacturers say doing consecutive top offs can whip the angular retention cables resulting in a slightly jerky ride. The operator can do a reverse pop of the sweeps to rapidly stabilize the bounce, disengage rotation and activate brakes until the ride begins to slow down for a roll landing on the tower rim.
