A nice little hill, just like you'd find on a roller coaster that wasn't designed by sociopaths! Wheeee!
Then we hit the first Ultra Twist. Good lord.
Up on the rear tilting platform, there's a moment to catch your breath before the vehicle – KERCHUNK! – unceremoniously slams into the brakes...
...and then gets dumped down and backwards into the lower set of Ultra Twists.
It's preposterous. See for yourself in the amazing PG-13-rated TPR video below:
Back in the day, Premier Rides and Togo struck a partnership of sorts and had considered building LIM-launched Ultra Twisters. Can you imagine?
As balls-out wild as Spaland's Ultra-Twister was, we would ride something even more berserk in a couple of days; stay tuned.
After a quick head-orifice check – no hemorrhaging or cerebrospinal fluid leakage, yay! – I joined a group that were on their way to the bobkarts, another ride you won't find anywhere in the States.
