The cars hit the turnaround maintaining the -180 degree position. Since the track is above the cars, this means the passengers have their heads up, and are facing forwards. Although the cars are in an upright position, the banked turn makes them fly out in a manner similar to a suspended coaster.
The same car position is maintained down the hill in back of the station. This picture provides a good view of the front of the cars.
The cars maintain the same position up the next hill, approaching the in-line twist.
It's hard to see what's going on in the inline twist. What I can tell is that prior to the twist, the cars are below the track, right-side-up, facing forwards - the negative 180 degree position. After exiting the twist, they have the track beneath them, are still right-side up, and are facing backwards, which is the zero degree position. So, the twist is most likely set to negative 90 degrees. Home | Back | Continue >> |
