I think it's so weird how the turn out of the station on Tornado has "square" track on the turn track piece. Is that a transfer track? Love how odd the heartline rolls are on it. They go down and in instead of up and over like normal rolls.
OK.. as a coaster designer (simulated, but still) , I can't totally disagree with the cobra dis, but I can't agree either. Consider the options for executing a quick out n back turnaround? Really, your only other options are a twisty top hat (nice, but equally overworked), or just s-bends and an overbanked loopback (yecchhh... unless it's themed 😎). It's a way of going out the way you came in sorta thing and throws an inversion in to pot as well. Not really lazy, just not a lot of options available for quick 180s. (Note: I didn't include inverse cobras as it it's a bit redundant.) ✌😁👍
I was never a fan of the heartline rolls on volcano, to me they just felt a bit kind of awkward. I'm surprised you managed to find enough things to do for a whole day at the park as I kind of ran out of them after a few hours, although I did find a nice but expensive brewery nearby for lunch!
Hours were short the day we went, so if they’re longer I could see half day being plenty. & We did take a 1-2 hour beer break now that you say it 😆. I really liked Tornado and figure in I’ll possibly never be back so I rode the crap out of it.
