There is only one name that can express the awesomeness that is that element.

The temperature in Branson on Sunday is scheduled for 97 with a 40% chance of rain. Anyone want me to drive over and get porn?

[mightypotato]

Super Stengel?

 

 

Excuse me...I need to go grab a towel.

[aLFREd_25]

I think you should, Chad. It kinda makes me wish I was off work on Sunday. Either way, that element, whatever we decide to call it, looks amazing. I'm really excited to see the rest of the layout.

[FilmoreISnAZN]

Who can't wait to see an extreme NTAG-esque airtime-filled layout after that Super-Stengel/Rocky Mountain Oyster dive!

[CorkscrewFoley]

What? NTAG didn't have enough airtime?

But yes Chad, I'd like to see some porn!

[GigaG]

Also, on a related note, is the "Rocky Mountain Oyster" more or less inverted than the "cutback" on Sky Rocket?

 

 

 

More cutbacks to compare it to?

 

 

Space Mountain : Mission 2 has a "Tongue" element, which I understand to be similar to a cutback, if not just another name. Let's do some research.

 

This NL model suggests the "Tongue" to be a quick overbank, not an inversion - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4rBIOKt79c

 

Can anybody confirm what exactly a "tongue" element is?

[RCBoilermaker14]

Things are really getting crazy with this coaster since I last checked. This equals a 2013 Silver Dollar City trip.

[chadster]

More porn tomorrow it is then!

[Werner]

Inverted or not? I just don't care, this thing is proberly going to be epic all the way!!!

[theonetheonlyJT]

Is the word epic good enough for this coaster, that drop and super (saiyan) Stengel look awesome.

[beatle11]

That picture makes me nervous and excited at the same time.

[CorkscrewFoley]

^Same here!

That just looks amazing, I wonder how forceful its going to be.

[vacoaster09]

I'd like to call it an Over-banked Dive or a Half Roll Dive or Inline Cutback... because like a zero G/roll all the twisting is taking place in-line however its not fully inverted and it un twists itself back in the direction of the original turn leading into the element..

 

This ride isn't Stengel's (though influenced) which is why I wouldn't call it a a stengel dive of any sort especially the way this twists in-line.

 

I Suggest "Overbanked Dive" or a "Half-Roll Dive" ..but if you want to be very specific you could call it a "Reverse Overbanked Dive" or a "Reverse Hall-Roll Dive" because the overbank is in the reverse direction of the overall turn.

 

Overall, I vote for "Reverse Overbanked Dive" (Overbanked Dive for short if direction of the bank doesn't matter) because its not completely 180 to the ground to call it half a zero g roll.

^I'm just going to call it "Frank."

 

A coaster element by any other name . . . it looks potentially amazing.

[Werner]

This thing reminds me of the Stengel Dive on Goliath at Walibi Holland! And that's a good thing!

 

Now for naming this beauty, how about: BoogieWoogie Roll?

[ernierocker]

Wow, what a twist! (Pun intented)

[aLFREd_25]

That's an awesome element! Looks like Silver Dollar City is gonna have a winner on it's hands!

[The Yeti]

What about Rocky Mountain Oyster? This thing just looks like an inverting Stengel dive to me, but it doesn't make much sense to throw Stengel in there. Anything but "Jo-jo Roll" works for me...

[chadster]

I'll have more in a few hours guys, you won't believe what happens next!

[ernierocker]

^Alligator pit?!?!

[texcoaster]

Or we could just wait until we see what it's officially called... just sayin'.

 

Personally, I'd name it the "0h Sh!t" element, because that's what you're likely to hear a lot of from every train as it goes through there.

[ImmelMatt]

Or we could just wait until we see what it's officially called... just sayin'.

 

Where's the fun in that?

 

I'm gonna call it the Bronco Roll.
