Twisted horseshoe roll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A twisted horseshoe roll is a roller coaster element in which there are two inversions (much like a cobra roll or batwing). It begins with a clockwise corkscrew, a 180 degree banked turn, and ends a second corkscrew, this one going counter-clockwise.
Despite having a similar name, this element bears no real resemblence to the roller coaster element known as a horseshoe.
The only roller coaster in existence with such an inversion is the as-of-yet-uncompleted Maverick at Cedar Point. On Maverick, the trains exit the twisted horseshoe roll going in the same direction as when they entered, though it would not necessarily be impossible to build such an element in which the trains exit going in the opposite direction (as is the case of a cobra roll or batwing).
