"Immelwoman" wtf?

I think I know what the Z-G-roll will look like, but it wont exit strait and it wont enter strait either, It might end up looking like a giant FlatSpin/Z-G-roll put into one, which should be very interesting.

I will agree that that "Immelwoman"[:p] Looks very F***ed up, but in a shiny way, no doubt[:p] I'd even say it looks uncomfertable!


Yeah it looks pretty shiny, you know...

Yeah, no way that is an inversion. Might be banked at 110-130 degrees at the most.

Android, because it enters from the bottom i believe it would be an immelman type thing. Divers always enter from the top.

I hope they're gonna work on that Zero-G! Or are they going to keep the best for the last ? [:o)]

Its not a stengel dive! And its not an inversion, its an inclined immelman but seeing as the banking isnt that harsh it aint really upside down. I would say it isnt an inversion, as then overbanks on some hypers should be considered inversions. But who really cares, i think its better than any normal inversion would ever be. It just looks crazily fun! [:D]

whatever you want to call it (I personally won't care!) it looks just like this when observed in detail:

i would call that a element because your not going upside-down so i think that would be a extremely tight helix

Hmmm strangeness... yet another attempt to classify...

http://rcdb.com/glossary273.htm


CAUTION: If any such coaster element is not appropriately and distinctively named it will severley affect the ride experience. If there is no unique name for it it must be crappy... Do not talk about unless you bring in your very own convincing definition! Do not listen to what others say! Do not ride unless you are utterly shure what it has to be called! You've been warned!

Elements: Loop
Jr. Immelman
Zero-G Roll (Heartline Spin)
Corkscrew (Wing Over)
Corkscrew (Wing Over)


loop, immelman, then zero g? Can't be right! [:D]

BTW theres proof the Zero G will be completely normal. Its not going to have much turn too it at all judging by this picture:

You can see that the entrance and exit are lined up pretty close. We may see some movement in it but nothing we havent seen before. I still think it will rotate in the opposite direction but I am probably wrong. However, that one support seems to prove my theory unless its for another part of the ride but it looks a little high for that.

And Red said the rotation would be too fast...Bah I tell you!

The IamNotAnInversion element just looks awesome though. A wicked turnaround perhaps.

Wicked may be the perfect way to describe it. When i first saw it i was like, woah, thats wicked. By the track laying there it looks as the 0g roll will prolly go up soon. I cant wait to see some of the theming take place!
