Spinball Whizzer

At the final set of brakes the long bar on the left pivots slightly, pressing against the side of the cars, straightening them out ready for unloading.

After the horseshoe, its up into the next block brake, then down an interesting S-bend drop.

The ride is a prime example of the UK custom of interesting, meandering queue areas...The ride is actually on the left, but the queue starts on the right, and crosses a bridge over the main path for the sake of it.

The rather nifty looking operators booth, fitting in with the post apocalyptic theme of the area.
