thrillrideseeker Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Would this be considered an inversion? Inversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo3:16 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 In my Opinion it looks like a extremly overbanked Turn. But i`m not sure because The Camera Angle really make sit hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well, CP doesn't call it an inversion. They call it an overbanked turn... and I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thats no inversion, the banking is only around 92*, but its turned on its side (vertical) so it seems like an inversion. If you play NL youll probably understand my point, but because your turning as your banking like that, your never upside-down. Its an illusion.

TexTitan01 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 ^ well it's a dam good illusion I bet that sensation is gonna be crazy. I cant WAIT for this to open OH SNAP!!1 200TH POST !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sick! Looks like a bent Stengel Dive, bet it will be awesome next spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I didn't know Maverick had an Immelman... That isn't quite an inversion, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 ^ well it's a dam good illusion Heres what I mean, the picture below is from the NL editor and the selected node is banked at 90*. However, if you look at the track compared to the ground it seems as if you are inverting (somewhat) though you indeed are only banked 90*. I hope you understand....?

"banking" of the "track" indeed seems to be 92*, BUT: neither these three inversions nor said "Stengel Dive" seem to be included in this "banking statistic". If you only would look closer at the pic(s). It's all there & obvious! (hint: how about that support holding up this element at the apex?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMC Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Minimal Momentary Almost Inversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighton Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I class an inversion, as a peice of track that is rotated to 180* past the original riding position. This 'element' I would call a Stengel Dive. It looks alot like this: >>Clicky<< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I would call it an inversion, your legs are above your head and your upside down for a milli-sec. Another good one is "Goliath" at Walibi World, this has a "Stengel Dive" simular type of element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Im sure a picture of Mavvies last stengel with a train in it would settle the debate. Because after seeing Goliath with a train in its stengel, those people dont look close to inverting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of these inversions are inverted 180 degrees-that's a poor definition of inversion. A better definition is 135 degrees, but that is still disputed by some people.
