Raven Turn???
I was looking on the Six Flags site about X and on the specs it said it had 2 raven turns. What are those?
The first and last inversions on X are called Raven turns. The inversion as I see it is basically a B&M dive loop in reverse.
The Raven Turn is what Matchbox 32 said, a B&M diving loop in reverse. B&M calls this an immelman.

i thought it was a dive loop without the half barrel roll in the beggining. im almost positive it gos up the lifthill and goes through that so after the raven turn the passengers are facing forward
From watching the video, I think the Raven Turn is like a B&M Immelman. Instead of the track doing a half barrel roll (which turns the riders back to the upright position) after the half loop, the 4D will rotate the seats 180 degrees. Also, the riders will be traveling backwards after the turn. (assuming they went into it foreward)
Sound confusing? Just wait until this thing gets built, then the real confusion will begin. (what counts as an inversion, how many inversions are there)

"X" marks the spot in 2001!
