Anyone know how tall the twist is?

Just wondering if anyone knew or wanted to make an educated guess on how many feet we'll be twisting. I guess that would be right when the verticle track starts (because it starts twisting there, right?) to when we're facing the pullout (is there more verticle track after the pullout?). I know, multi-part question, but does anyone know?

I think this photo from Virtual Midway will answer your questions.

I would have to say about 180-200ft for the down twist. And for the up twist, probably 80-100ft.

Has anyone noticed in that picture how the track doesn't go all the way to verticle but starts to twist and after about 180 degrees of twistage and then it changes to verticle. It almost looks like it goes beyond verticle after it twists and before it changes to verticle.

That's an optical illusion created by the twist. The track twists around an invisible centerline through the train, which makes the track swing out while it twists around.

If the track twisted around it's own centerline, then it would be perfectly vertical, but the experience when riding it just wouldn't be the same. Instead of looking at the entire section of track, focus more on only the running rails, and where the train will be throughout the course of the twist. You'll see that it does, indeed, make a nearly perfect vertical twist.

It's the same concept as both of Wicked Twister's spikes.
