- The B&M Inverted Looper (Batman -- The Ride) at SFGAm in
- Gurnee, IL has 5 inversions; two verticle clothoid shaped
- loops, and horizontal "heartline flip", and two corkscrew
- shaped inversions.
-
- From the press day post Dave H. wrote last week, it
- appears Top Gun will only feature 3 inversions; one verticle
- clothoid loop followed by a "heartline flip", and ending with a
- single corkscrew-style element.
