A Wing-a-ma-what?

Okay, I was really depressed the other day, so I decided to look through my coaster video gallery. And the commentator described one of BTR's corkscrews as a WINGOVER. I just wanted to know the difference between the two. And... while were on the subject of naming inversions, what is the name of the first two inversions on a vekoma SLC?

They're the same - "wingover" is just B&M's term for an inverted corkscrew. There's an excellent table of elements with pictures at this site:

It's not a widely used term, but certain enthusiasts (I learned it that way) refer to corkscrews on inverts as "wingovers".

I've had debates on these very forums on whether it was a valid term. It seems to be an older term that isn't used very much anymore. I still get odd responses if I use "wingover" instead of corkscrew. I think there's enough people (and sources) who use the term to make it relevant - but those who do are definitely in the minority.

That table of the elements calls an SLC's first two inversions a Vekoma cobra roll.

I believe the first two inversions on a SLC are called a sea serpent.

Hmm...

A Vekoma cobra roll is similar to a B&M sea serpent.
