It was bound to happen . . .

I've noticed that the new "thing" in roller coaster design has been the use of 90-degree angles on the first drops of some new coasters.

In the coaster industry, "more" is always better. So, Cedar Point Amusement Park in Ohio is constructing a new coaster featuring a first drop that goes five degrees past verticle. Looks like a tummy-tickler to me.

Click here for some really cool animated video of what the ride will be like.
