(Vertical Velocity)





The Vertical Velocity Roller Coaster is different than other roller coasters, instead of going over hills, it starts by shooting out of the loading platform and climbing half way up the spiral hill. Then the coaster falls weightless back down the hill and as it passes through the loading platform it gains more velocity and shoots verticaly back up the other hill.

Now you are looking down at the ground and the coaster is headed straight down. As you race through the loading platform, the coaster gains enough velocity to climb and spiral all the way to the top of the other hill.
