Does that part of the track look odd to you?
It's the one before hitting the 90????????? banked turn.
To me it looks like the track is banked out.

You don't see that very often. Back when I was a coaster noob and had no idea about g's I always though an upsidedown loop would be cool, kinda like a Gerslauster(sp?) but keeps going until it comes back up.

I believe the purpose of that section is to intentionally create lateral forces. It makes for a more out of control experience going from heavy laterals to a banked turn. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

What do they call that 'almost Heartlined, but not quite"... Is it like 'slipped' or something...
