Does the ride go upside down?
5 visits, and I have avoided it EVERY TIME for fear of going upside down.

HauntedPirate said:It has a cobra roll and an corkscrew. The definition, from ultimaterollercoaster.com - "The cobra roll is a double inversion similar to Arrow's boomerang element. Riders are enter the element and are sent upside down twice and leaving going in the opposite direction they were as they entered. The design of the element looks like the hood of a striking cobra. "

Rob562 said:Actually, if you want to get REALLY technical, the first two-inversion element is not a cobra roll/boomerang, but rather what Vekoma calls a Roll Over. It's two twists in the same direction, and you exit the element going in the same direction as you entered, and not making a U-turn like a boomerang does. The key is that as you go from the first inversion to the second, you keep rolling over in the same direction. In a Boomerang you change directions halfway through.
You can see the element clearly in this pic from rcdb.com:

(and compare it to a boomerang element from this pic: http://www.rcdb.com/ig629.htm?picture=4 )
The first pic is a coaster in Belgium that for the most part is the exact same layout as RnRC, just outdoors. Some of the track and curves are stretched out a little to account for a faster launch speed.
Not sure if the pics are going to help change the mind of the original poster, but at least they'll know what it is they're getting on. :animwink:
