Great Roller Coasters of the World ; Tuesday ; Period 1

Bright and early, Riley was back in the Danger Shop, waiting for class to start. When everyone arrived, he jumped right into it.

"Today, we're heading to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California so we can ride the Full Throttle," he said, smiling. "This roller coaster features the world's tallest vertical loop at 160 feet. It's also the first roller coaster to feature a top-hat element on a loop. A top hat is an element common to launched coasters. A standard top hat consists of what is essentially a hill with a 90 degree ascent and descent; the train exits going in the same direction from which it entered. The track twists and the train does not go upside down."

Riley nodded and started up the sim. "Time to go for a ride!"
