Here's a closer shot of the second hill.  This ride is really fun for it's small size.  It was built by the late great John Allen of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.  He almost single handedly started the coaster craze in the 1970's by building rides like the Racer @ Kings Island and Screaming Eagle @ Six Flags St. Louis.

After the second drop you take a turn to head back towards the station and have a nice dip.

Here's a couple of coaster nuts (just like me) enjoying the turn by the station.  I really love the colors of the train.  It's way better than the regular one flat color of most trains but is it me but the colors look straight out of Miami Vice..
