Construction started in the transfer track and station area before progressing to the lift hill in early-October 2005. Just over two weeks later, the roller coaster's lift hill was topped off. After erecting the first drop and loop, construction on the zero-gravity-roll was complete by mid-November. The third inversion, an Immelmann loop, was completed about a week later followed by the placement of the inclined loop pieces. After the corkscrew and other track elements were completed, the final piece of track was placed in the morning of January 13, 2006. After testing was completed, the attraction opened to the public on April 8, 2006. In 2019, Patriot was temporarily renamed The Patrick in honor of Patrick Mahomes, a Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. The ride got a new coat of paint in 2020. Ride experience After departing from the station, the train makes a left turn leading directly to the beginning of the lift hill. Once the train reaches the top of the lift hill, it makes a sharp, downward drop followed by an Vertical loop. After exiting the loop and making a slight right turn, the train goes up leading into a zero-gravity roll. The train drops back to the ground before going through an Immelmann loop. Next, the train enters a banked turn. Then the train goes over a small inverted hill, drops to the ground, and makes a left turn into a corkscrew. Then the train makes a right turn which leads to the brake run. The train then makes a left turn back into the station where the next riders board. One complete cycle of the roller coaster lasts about 2 minutes and 18 seconds.
