Track layout
editThe ride featured a 65-foot lift hill and runs over and next to the park's parking lot. It was an out and back design, meaning the course went out away from the station, turns around, then headed back to the station. Each ride cycle usually consisted of two laps around the course.
Trains
editCannonball Run operated with one train from Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters. The train was made up of five cars, with each car seating four people (twenty riders total). The train featured a seatbelt for each row and a single position lap bar.
