I think of the Flash turnaround more of an Inclined 1/2 loop because of direction the train travels through the element.  The inclined dive is taken from the stunt plane manoeuvre where the plane start at the top of the loop and turns down.  Flash starts at the bottom of the loop and travels upwards throughout the element. 

I suppose you could say the Flash does the incline dive loop in reverse.

A dive loop in reverse is an Immelmann.

The shaping looks quite smooth and comfortable.

What's the difference between an inclined dive loop and a regular one?

As a rule, an incline loop is one with the loop on a tilt:

Whereas a normal one has the track aligned vertically when viewed from the end:
