At the end of some of those recent coasters shows, they have the computer animation for X on there. On most VCRs you can use your Frame Advance button and move the video frame by frame.
It's very hard to explain the position you are facing because the coaster and chairs are changing direction at the same time.
Everyone is correct about the first drop. You're facing backwards going up the lift hill. At the top the coaster goes straight down, and at the same time, the chairs spin forward so that your body is facing the ground like skydiving. Now the coaster is near the bottom of the hill, the chairs are still spinning. Your body is facing straight down at the ground, you are literally upside down. Now the coaster comes out of the hill, your back is to the ground, and you are facing the sky.
Most of the other hills and loops do the same thing. You go down into them facing the ground like a sky diver. At the bottom of each hill you are literally upside down, and as you come out of each loop, you end up looking up at the sky on your back as you go up the other side.
It all happens so fast that I don't think you'll feel like you're upside down. Its more like you're falling, doing a front flip, and land on your back.
It's very hard to explain this, you'll just have to watch the video with frame advance, or wait for the ride to open.
