Maybe The Great Bear has such a weird feel to it is because the entire ride is literally shoehorned over Sooper Dooper Looper, The Coal Cracker and The Hollow.



Like many of the other B&M Inverted Coasters The Great Bear has a vertical loop, an Immelmann, a Zero G Roll and a Corkscrew to send your feet skyward.



B&M certainly had their work cut out for them with Great Bear as they were not allowed to place any footers in Spring Creek which the ride goes over much of.  So B&M had to get creative with supporting the ride.



After The Great Bear's almost three minute ride time and two-thousand and eight hundred feet of track you snake around Sooper Dooper Looper on the way back to the station.
