Overbanked turn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An overbanked turn is an element common on large steel roller coasters, particularly those built by Intamin AG of Switzerland. This element is a turn or curve in which the track tilts beyond 90 degrees, usually in the 100-120 degree range. Two examples of an overbanked turn in the United States are the first turn-around on Superman: The Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England, and Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, which features three separate overbanked turns.
