This toboggan is the second longest in Australia.

Tango Train is the same style of ride as those seen travelling to most of Australia's shows.

The ride's station housing and all but two of the sleds were destroyed in the Canberra bushfires of early 2003.

The coaster has a cable lifthill. The system uses steel chocks fixed on the cable, which the toboggans hook onto.

A further unique aspect of the final straight is that the train passes through an underground tunnel to get to the station.

To bring the train back to station level, there is a gentle upward slope, assisted by kicker wheels positioned along the track.

The final drop of the ride smoothly curves down, followed directly by a two banked turns.

Following the turns in the carpark section, there are a series of drops. Initially they start out as non-curved drops, with minimal transitions.

When the ride was originally built, there was little underneath the ride. Since redevelopments around 2000, the ride is now above a nicely landscaped parking area.

The track is a very gently downward slope, so a buildup of speed will be gradual, though I'm sure impressive as the train starts moving faster and faster.

The carpark section of the ride comprises firstly of several meandering curves.

Although the banking is quite rigid throughout the ride, the free swinging of the trains - up to 30º either way - creates a smoother and more accurate banking of riders.

Some turns on the ride are flat while others are banked to around 60º. This was selected based on the train's speed.

The lift gently levels out over the coach carpark, where the second half of the coaster begins.

Perhaps another truly unique trait of Orphan Rocker is its uphill 90º turn near the top of the lift hill. The hill passes between a cafe and a rotating restaurant.

The crest of the main straight section of the lift hill, with the twin cables seen passing underneath.

In this shot you can clearly see the catch car that the train connects to for the long ascent to the peak.

The lift is not a chain hill like most conventional coasters. This coaster has a unique cable drive system - and this was years before Millennium Force came along with its cable lift.

The lift hill comes next, coming in the middle of the ride because of the unique topography of the footprint.

Certainly the highlight of the ride. This tight banked turn is just metres from a 220m cliff.
