I was looking at a coaster when I realized that their was some thing wrong. Their was a element I did not know. It was a pretzel knot. To see some pic's go to http://www.rcdb.com/id1292.htm
I think that element was unique to Moonsault Scramble. It's essentially just an Arrow boomerang with the entrance and exit crossed over each other instead of side by side.
It looks a lot like B&M's batwing element on Montu.
Also am I wrong or didnt Orient Express @ WOF have this element (but it was called the "Kamakazi dive") *** Edited 12/8/2006 11:28:27 PM UTC by Touchdown***
Orient Express was the first coaster to use the boomerang inversion (what Arrow called it), except on that first installation they called it the kamikaze kurve. It is essentially the same as the batwing that B&M uses.
The B&M flyers also have "pretzel loops" which, if you're not splitting hairs, look pretty similar. I would imagine the G's are quite a bit stronger than in the Arrow variety though.
Hey now, why is it ok that he's posted a link to his site? Shouldn't a mod be removing that? Settle down CoasterKid, and stop begging people to visit your site.

I'm not a mod (obviously) but by putting the link at the end of all of his posts he's pretty much using it as his sig - without actually using it as an automatic sig.
I have no idea if there is a difference in policy if the signature is posted automatically or posted manually.
Actually, the pretzel knot is unique, and not like the batwing element on B&M's or the bowtie element on the Arrows. Normally, the track doesn't cross over itself in a bowtie/batwing element. The pretzel loop track actually crosses over itself, as if you were tying a knot.
AV - I rode EXT but I never liked it (I was really young) and I never got a chance to ride Schussboomer as I was BARELY too short the last year it was there. I rode the heck out of Silly Serpent though. :)
