It insures that there will be witnesses in the event of an accident.

The ride is supposed to have a 2.5 minute duration, and there is likely a little less than a minute from the first drop to the brakes assuming there is no rollback, leaving 1.5 minutes for the 200 foot elevator lift, which would have the lift travel at 132fps, which is slower than the slowest modern elevators. Divertical's 196 foot elevator lift takes 30 seconds total. Also, there's some unexplained structure or booth under the launch. So just maybe...

I'd call it a rewinding barrel roll. One inversion is the barrel roll, one inversion is the rewind... Or maybe a barrel roll and a barrel unroll. I need to remember to sleep at night.

It's for maintenance access, and somebody well-connected said there is/will be a crane of some sort in there.

Normally the mountains get quite green on north-facing slopes, at higher altitudes up to a point, and near the rivers. They are usually quite pleasant to look at. However, this winter has been the driest I've ever seen. Normally there would be snow covering all those "hills" (It's actually a huge mountain range) at this time of year.
