A roller coaster inversion is a roller coaster element in which the track turns riders upside-down and then returns them to an upright position. Early forms of inversions were circular in nature and date back to 1848 on the Centrifugal railway in Paris. These vertical loops produced massive g-force that was often dangerous to riders. As a result, the element eventually became non-existent with the last rides to feature the looping inversions being dismantled during the Great Depression. In 1975, designers from Arrow Development created the corkscrew, reviving interest in the inversion during the modern age of steel roller coasters. Elements have since evolved from simple corkscrews and vertical loops to more complex inversions such as Immelmann loops and cobra rolls. The Smiler at Alton To

  • Inverze je prvek horské dráhy, kdy se lidé ve vozíku ocitnou hlavou dolů a následně se vrátí do původní polohy. (cs)
  • Een inversie is een achtbaanelement waarbij men korte tijd ondersteboven hangt. De bekendste inversies zijn waarschijnlijk de looping en de kurkentrekker, hoewel er ook veel andere inversies bestaan. Met veertien inversies heeft The Smiler in Alton Towers het wereldrecord van de achtbaan met het hoogste aantal inversies. Hieronder staat een beknopt overzicht van alle bekende types van inversies. De lijst is zodanig opgebouwd dat de inversies die een combinatie zijn van andere elementen onderaan staan zodat eerst de basiselementen worden beschreven. (nl)
  • Inversion är ett banelement på en berg- och dalbana som får passagerarna att hamna upp och ner. En inversion kan exempelvis vara en loop eller en kraftigt graderad sväng. (sv)
  • Eine Inversion ist ein Achterbahnelement, bei dem die Streckenführung die Fahrer auf den Kopf stellt und sie dann in eine aufrechte Position zurückbringt. Frühe Formen der Inversion, die bis in das Jahr 1848 auf der Centrifugal Railway in Paris zurückreichten, waren Loopings, die von sich aus kreisförmig waren. Sie erzeugten eine enorme G-Kraft, die für die Fahrer oft gefährlich war, was darin resultierte, dass das Element mit den letzten Bahnen, in denen es existierte, während der Weltwirtschaftskrise abgebaut wurde. 1975 entwickelten Designer von Arrow Development in Knott’s Berry Farm den Korkenzieher und belebten das Interesse an der Inversion während des modernen Zeitalters der Stahlachterbahnen wieder. Seitdem haben sich die Elemente von einfachen Korkenziehern und vertikalen Schlauf (de)
