Impulse is a steel roller coaster located at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. It is manufactured by Zierer and is the first major steel coaster located at Knoebels since the Whirlwind which closed in 2004.
Riders are restrained by a lap bar only which comes across the legs and the waist.
The ride starts off by rounding a bend and then climbing the 98ft (30m) lift hill. The train then proceeds to go straight down and into the first inversion, a cobra roll. The train then goes into a vertical loop followed by a series of twists and turns around the vertical lift hill until it enters the final inversion, a zero g roll. The train then goes into a short, but intense, helix before the brake run and into the station. The complete ride is one minute and twenty seconds.
Riders can also purchase a photograph of themselves on the roller coaster after the ride is through.
