Actually it's not an inverted coaster. It's a regular sit down coaster. X-Car is really cool, able to do any element, including inversions (and extended inversions) with a lapbar only. I rode it at IAAPA (just the car mounted on a track able to do barrel rolls, it's suprisingly comfortable being hung upsidedown for 3 minutes for a demonstration being held in by only a lapbar :)

Sounds like an awesome idea. I wonder how big the footprints of these things would be. I wouldn't mind seeing one go into a park around here. Hmm... PKI could use something like this.

1m = +/- 39in

46m * 39in = 1794 / 12 = 149ft 6in.

Is this the tallest? Or is my math wrong?
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
