Default B&M's Oblivion: did the develop this further?


I remember a chat with *someone* from B&M at IAAPA who noted they had indeed
managed inversions with the 8-across trains...noting that to date the only
one not possible was a wingover (B&M corkscrew).



Interesting...I would think that the corkscrew would be the easiest inversion
to accomplish with a wide row like that. Just make sure that there is enough
clearance below the track for the flip....

When it comes to the standard loop, it seems that the track would have to move
sideways so far to clear the pullout. (I hope that comes across clearly)

Be something like Volcano, or Elitch's Flying Coaster, I suspect.
