B&M Center: Sitdown



Dragon Kahn currently holds the record for most inversions on a roller coaster. It flips you upside down a staggering eight times. The ride is very similar to Kumba, but it features a straight first drop and a loop after the mid-course brakes. Other than that it has the layout we've come to know and love: loop, diving loop, inline-twist, and cobra roll. That's just the first half! After the brakes are a vertical loop, spiral, two interlocked corkscrews, and a final hop up into the station brakes.

Kumba was the first sit-down looper by B&M. At the time it was one of the few rides with 7 inversions, but nowadays everyone and their mother has a coaster that loops 7 times. The ride's layout has been copied a few times, mostly in the form of Dragon Kahn and Medusa. It starts with a dive into the large loop which wraps around the lift. The train then immediately flies through the diving loop, heartline twist, and cobra roll. The mid-course brakes follow and the ride ends with two interlocking corkscrews and a final helix.
