Another amusing media screwup (Hydra)

This came through my Microsoft Money investment tracker as news on Cedar Fair today ...

The picture's amusing in a "can't believe they didn't catch that" way. Not like it hasn't been done before, but it makes me snicker every time ;)

Maybe the photo being upside down?
But the people are right-side-up.

Ya know, that might actually be a new fun element for a coaster? I wonder if physics would allow it to be pulled off?

I doubt the load station would be fun upside down ;) Notice the upside down building in the background.

Watch the tram car please....
Yes,,, Understood...I am refering to the loop only.

Looks like a new pretty sweet inversion to me ;).

Either they fixed it, or I just don't see it.

But I can tell you that the photo is of likely the first flat spin. Labeled 4 here (http://www.dorneypark.com/public/inside_park/rides/thrill_rides/hydra/track_layout.cfm)

It appears to be fixed now.
