^It's in such Salzburg as well, we have to go <3

Go to the salt mines, moan about the poisonous dwarf sitting at the front for exposure, mince round the fountain <3
 
I almost went to that Salzburg park in the summer, but it would've taken about an hour and a half each way to get there - it's not really in Salzburg at all - and I only had about a day and a half there as it was.

I really need more Pax in my life though; I've only got Cobra at Connyland at the moment, which was fab.

A Rollerskater with one half of a cobra roll? Now I've seen everything.

Couldn't that also be called a Sidewinder or a Dive Loop? Half-Cobra is a funny thing to call it first, it seems to me.

I knew there was a name for that kind of inversion but I couldn't come up with it. :oops:
 
That'd be a sidewinder, if anything. Dive loops go the opposite direction, as the name suggests.

Here's something. A section of track just after the corkscrews on Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure has an upward bend in the spine. I have no clue why this would be the case.

It looks like the ties are a different size before and after the kink. I wonder if the smaller ties are better for the twistier sections of track.
