Personally, I prefer Ride to Happiness: Disco Inferno...

Never forget what was taken from us, Iron Splash will live on in our hearts...

The overbank twist element has a name, it's called the gender roll.

So historically, when a coaster reaches the end of its service life (Arrow/Vekoma Loopers) or becomes so problematic due to being such a maintenance headache (Son of Beast). There's usually a sense of sadness amongst both enthusiasts and the wider park-going public. Usually the local or even...

As much as I love Nemesis, the stall turn coming out of the vertical loop is a dead spot in the middle of a very intense ride...
