Hey all!  I'm new in this forum and I would like to say hi!  Well, I'm going to go to Paris tomorrow and to DLRP 3 days later, so my question is:
 :?: I read about Rock'n'roller coaster and it says it has 3 inversions, and Indiana Jones has only one, but it's height limitation is higher, so, are these 3 inversions 360 degree ones or not?  Thanks for the help already! :D
My only passions are Disneyland, and RHCP.  Nothing more, oh, and June 30 I\'m in DLRP

Hi!

Rock n Roller Coaster does indeed feature 3 inversions, but only 2 inversion elements - a Roll Over at the start (after the launch) and a Corkscrew later on.

Take a look at this picture, from "Xpress" at Walibi World, which is the same basic ride but built outdoors: http://pictures.rcdb.com/picmax/six-fla ... -ride8.jpg

You can see the ride inverts 3 times but there only two real elements - 2 of the inversions are in 1 element.

As for why the height restriction is different yet RNRC features more inversions - this is more a matter of the design of the roller coaster vehicles and restraints, rather than the number of inversions.  Both rides are from different manufacturers.

I hope this helps!  :wink: ps: Check your private messages!
