The last inversion before the final brakes is a 2nd corkscrew.

It is of course, the well known 'wing dip' element. Which uses a series of timed fountains to give the impression the train is touching the surface of the water. Those with long arms and seated on the right can reach out and skim the surface...barely.

You can see the way the designers added a 9th car the front of the train that exists purely to hold a bunch of fibreglass manta rays.

Here is the track switch system. The central piece of track rotates slightly to the left and right to direct the train to the available side of the station.

The large metal bar at the front of the shot pushes down on a levering mechanism, forcing the seats to swing back into the flying position, where they are then locked in place.

Guests board in via a split loading station, which helps boost capacity.
