No Mr. Bond...I expect you to ride!



The launch loop concept was Arrow Dynamics answer to Anton Schwarzkopf's "shuttle loop coaster" that launched you out of a station through a loop, up a spike of track before falling backwards down the hill through the loop and back into the station.



Arrow couldn't do the high speed launch like Anton did with his design so they made the station the high point of the ride and used a primitive launch system push the train up to a 56 foot drop.



At the bottom of the drop Diamond Back sends you through a vertical loop before...



...sending you up another hill to a flat stretch of tack where you stop and then are slowly launched in reverse.
