The first half inversion.
Swooping down The trains enter the station in the flying position.
The first drop is ideal for the on ride photography. Just before the final inversion.
< When you board the trains they are in the standard ''inverted position'' like Nemesis. You put your legs into place and your grab bars are lowered, attached to the grab bars, the vest also comes over your head and holds you in. The leg flaps then move back into place over your shin. The floor lowers and the train tilts.
