Also, inverts leave a row of 4 riders hanging from the edge of the track too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium310 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 When the media refers to loops, it could mean anything. In fact, my science teacher two years ago thought the turns on the roller coaster in my science fair project were considered loops! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheikra_rocks Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Based on the blue prints, it does not look longer than Montu. The record they may indeed be going for here is height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
