Inverts always have some form of twisted drop because it keeps your legs away from being able to kick the row in front. It’s also why you don’t tend to see airtime hills on them, the apex of the hill would always have to be more drawn out because of the nature of how the train bends.

Not that that has anything to do with anything, but still pretty interesting.

But point taken on minimizing maneuvers that cause seating to shorten in gap spacing.

In fairness, Crazycoaster did say tend to, so that means they is of course a couple of exceptions! ;)

(Awaits posts showing every other invert having airtime hills because I'm a basic B&Mer)

You get how both of those examples prove exactly what I said though, right? ?

Take a look and you can notice just how shallow that curve is over the apex, then compare it to the shaping of a modern airtime hill. You won’t be seeing ejector air on a invert any time soon (unless we bring in a creative designer and maybe a wave turn could work...)

Hey, an airtime hill is an airtime hill - even if it has the weakest floater on earth. :p

Just saw that Gröna Lund updated the page for the coaster and it now says that the height requrement will be 140 cm / 4ft 7 Inches and that a ride will cost 4 cupouns.
Can't help wonder why the requirement is 1.40 cm... The invert Oziris has a requirement of 1.30 and most other new B&Ms in Europe like Valkyria, Baron and Fenix only 1.32 cm.
