The Holywood Rip Ride Rocket roller coaster at Universal Studios Florida, Orlando, Florida

Unfortunately the vertical lift hill is not followed by a straight down dive.  With a hundred and sixty-seven foot tall lift one would expect a fast ride.  Unfortunately as you can see there are trim brakes going down the drop which slows down the Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket.

 Once you get past the first trim brakes (of many) the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit sends you up into a non-inverting loop.

If you are asking about how a loop can be "non-inverting" this photo gives a better view of what happens.
