Don't know if anyone will have the answer as theres only one at the moment and it isn't open yet (and its in China!) but can someone explain to me how the hell loading works on this thing?

I've tried to figure it out can't for the life of me see how its practical... also, if you're in the flying position the lift hill is gunna be WIERD!

Heres a picture to let you know what I'm talking about!

There is a discussion topic already in the UC part of the forum: http://www.coasterforce.com/forums/view ... hp?t=23196

It loads just like any other Vekoma Flyer, and then the lift is basically like the one on the Maurer SkyLoop, just a big half-loop.
So you enter the lift siting up/on your back (I think that the reclining will be done on the move now, just outside the station), then you just go straight up (much like on a drop tower) and the top part will get the train into fly mode.
This lift is very clever, and will work very well with the flyer trains.

So, as the train goes to 90 degrees, the seats recline so you're sitting upright the entire time? That must be a really weird sensation!
