Weird SFGA Deja Vu Breakdown

I'm still working too hard on finding the mythical SFNO to conferm anything.

Real Cbuzz quote of the day - "The classes i take in collage are so mor adcanced then u could imagen. Dont talk about my emglihs" - Adamforce

The last car in that pic is past horizontal. Isn't that upside down? I wouldn't want to be stuck in that seat.

Lay on your side on the floor. Are you upside-down? No, I don't think so ;)

Deja Vu @ MM was down for a year due to "rehabilitation." it just opened a few months ago and was closed all of last summer. Keep the Deja's! Also, the one at sfgamworld looks a lot better placed then where they shoved the one @ MM and maybe its just me, but putting it where it is @ gamworld looks awesome.

ok thank you for conferming that.

Lay on your side on the floor. Are you upside-down? No, I don't think so

Nope. But if you're in the last car, your past horizontal (ie. past 90°), as mentioned. :)

That is actually the first car. And to add to Moosh's statement, after lying on your side, kick your legs up to make a 45 degree angle with the ground. This debate would turn into the same one as if those inclined B&M loops are inversions.

Oh yeah, first car.

While we're playing the "what's an inversion" game, we might as well get to the "Is S:TE a coaster" game and the "How do you count coasters" game.

Those are always good for parties.

Hobbes: "What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?"
Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."

I'm not denying it's an odd and potentially uncomfortable position but it is NOT inverted.

So at what degree are you considered inverted?

The point at which an object starts acting in the opposite direction as gravity is horizontal (90°).
The point at which the blood in your body tends to move toward your head is at horizontal (90°).
In an aircraft, if your bank is greater than 90°, you are inverted.

"The startled Bonanza pilot momentarily increased his bank to 105 degrees, going slightly inverted close to the ground."

For me, I would not say that any of those cars is truly inverted. Nevertheless, I can't say I completely understand why we're debating this anyhow, as there was nobody on the train when this happened. This incident took place during morning tests which probably means that it was due to cool temps that caused high friction levels. Anyone who has been around these rides knows that they are incredibly sensitive to temperature, wind, moisture, etc.

I'm gonna twist ya, and I'm gonna flip ya. Every time you squeal I'm just gonna go faster and harder.

Are you sure it is the first car, I am pretty sure it is the last car.

Just let everyone know. I was told it is now back up and running.
