An elaborate system moves the seats from an upright to face down position. Motors force a large beam that runs the length of the station to move downwards. This bar presses down on an arm at the front of each row of seats, which causes the seats to swing up backwards like a lever.

So what is a flying coaster? One which guests are suspended face down to simulate the feeling of flight.

Air is Alton Towers flying coaster, it's claim to fame being that it was the first of this type built by Bolliger & Mabillard.
