The Immelmann Inversion Explained

  • 💡 The Immelmann inversion on the Tormenta Rampaging Run is the world's highest at 218 feet, reaching speeds of 87 miles per hour.
  • 🚀 Originally a fighter pilot's aerobatic combat maneuver, it was developed by a German pilot in World War I.
  • 🎯 The maneuver involves trading energy to go over the top, becoming inverted, and rapidly rolling right-side up to get behind an enemy.

Physics of the Inversion

  • 🎢 In a roller coaster or jet aircraft, the initial pull creates a feeling of increasing heaviness due to G-forces.
  • ⚡ As the vehicle slows down, riders experience a sensation of lightness before the roll.
