Even the close up picture of the loop cuts off the part where you would be upside down. It doesn't show how you are supposed to navigate that portion of the walking coaster. :mad:

They haven't figured that part out yet. They're still cleaning up tourists.

It's like Sonic, just get a running start and you'll make it through.

You just have to get a lot of momentum.

Edit: Damn you Temo! The first thing I thought about was Sonic.

Why would you want to walk through that. It looks like hiking except...lamer.

Yeah I could understand if it were a cool bridge or something with a functional purpose. Would be tough to avoid getting made fun in any other scenario unless you manage to get to 3rd base with a girl on the loop.

Oh yeah, i see this going real well. lol

Either they arn't going to make a profit on it, or numerous people are going to get hurt.

Perhaps it switches towards the upper part and you walk on the bottom of the upper part and it slowly converts back to the normal way as it descends down.

It is a way to cull the population.
