The route is divided into two areas, a dark ride section, in which the ride starts and ends, and the main part is an outdoor route. The Kärnan has some special elements, such as the world's first vertical [[lift hill]] with a backward free fall from a height of over {{Convert|60|m|ft}}, the speed of which was increased from {{Convert|18|km/h|mph}} to {{Convert|40|km/h|mph}} in 2017. The lift hill is completely enclosed in a {{Convert|79|m|ft}} high tower. The roller coaster also has an element that should resemble a heart, a vertical descent with a twist, airtime hill and a [[heartline roll]] at the end of the ride. After the first drop and the heart element, the layout of the roller coaster is kept closer to the ground in large parts of the route. ''Kärnan'' operates with 3 trains of 16 seats each, laid out in 4 rows of 4 with lap bar restraints. These are the same type of trains and restraints as found on Gerstlauer's [[Infinity Coaster]]s, such as [[Karacho]] at [[Tripsdrill]].
