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.

It is basically a hill that due to a wicked twist at the top sends you

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.
