I know that tht all the ones(including the one being built at magic springs) except for G Force, are pulled up a vertical lift. They enter the first inversion at the top of the lift, go down a small hill, go through the next inversion, and go through the rest of the course. The stop by going up the lift again, and dropping back to the station.

no over the shoulder restraint. The cars are open. Only a lap bar. They are sweet.

To me they're spectacular :D , They're pretty cool and mostly simlpe. It would be cool for us to have one but with 3 inversions up top not 2, and as youre spinning on those inversions, the x cars spin too, maure sohne offers spinng x cars... So you can be spinning as youre spinning 8)

I really want to ride G Force. It looks insane. The whole inverted lift thing looks amazing.
