Sky Wheel at Skyline Park, near Munich, Germany. This was the
prototype coaster from Maurer Sohne (with a factory just up the road, also
in Munich). The cars are slowly pulled up the vertical lift-hill, riders are
then suspended upside down, before twisting 360 degrees, upside down again,
before plummeting down the drop & through the station at high speed. The
train then valleys backwards & forwards, before catching back onto the
lift's chain, and is then slowly lowered back into the station.
