Towers on Xcelerator - CoasterBuzz

The towers on Xcelerator *look* like they have a bend in them at the twist. Is that just because the heartline of the riders is traveling vertically, so the train has to spin around them, or is the upper section of the tower actually not vertical.

The bend or twist is where you go 90°

All I have to say is that is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen in my life!

We discussed this when they first topped the tower. It just looks that way because the track twists so abruptly and because of the heartline.

Well, it IS in the wall paper section on twisted rails. There're higher quality versions also.

That picture looks perverted... For what I reason, I do not know.

Its a pity about the ugly pollution ruining the sky though.

So what if the best coaster in Australia is a second hand Arrow?

The Disneyland/Knotts area isn't nearly as bad as other parts of LA such as SFMM.
