The effect has changed a bit over the years. When TT first opened the effect was at its best. The car moved toward the barrier, struck it, and crumpled up so to speak. When you were preparing for your own launch into the barrier it reset. Like so many other cool effects it broke...a lot.....and was eventually replaced. Currently there is an already smashed up truck in its place. When your ride vehicle rounds the corner the truck bounces as though it hit the barrier just before you got there. Not as cool as the first one but it seems to work more consistently.
