Stretching is essential to not injuring yourself while riding coasters
in the proper riding position of seated with arms extended upward.
Here's Bond stretching before tackling the Fairly Odd Coaster.
The Fairly Odd Coaster used to be known as the Timberline Twister and is
the prototype spinning coaster from Gerstlauer.
One thing that I do like about Gerstlauer spinners is as soon as you leave
the lift your car is free to spin.
There's plenty of directional changes on the Fairly Odd Coaster to keep
your car spinning. If you're lucky you'll get your car weighted just
right and you'll spin like a top all the way until the final brakes.
