The Overbanked turn ends up with a great dive back down to Terra firma.

It is a really graceful swooping dive that leads to one of the best one two punches that I have seen on a coaster in a long time.

The one-two punch begins with an element called a twist and dive.

It is basically a hill that due to a wicked twist at the top sends you moving in the opposite direction that you came into the twist dive. 

By the way Bond took this photo of Paul Schroeder, Spencerman, Spencerman's dad and myself getting ready to twist and dive on The Monster.
