Here's the main event on the Looping Star...the loop!



It's an interesting loop because it has very high positive g forces when you enter it but at the top you almost get some hang time because it slows down so much.



Yes the swimming pool in the foreground is full of sand.  This was designed as a transportable coaster even though this one has found a permanent home and the pool sits on the frame of the coaster and the added weight makes the structure more solid and a lot less shaky.  I'm curious if the ones that are moved often use water instead of sand for the added weight?
