Majorly confused with hill titles

I was looking through the gallery, and I think you guys got some confused minds or something.
The second hill, to what I believe it is and anyone else with a knowledgeable brain (The one through the first tunnel where it literally shoots you up) is titled "Third drop"
Uhhhhh.....I don't see any other drops before the first drop and the second...

Wouldn't the next hill *THIRD* (The one where you get major airtime) be called Third drop ?
So, to my assuming would the third drop be called The fourth drop or something? Just for the fun of it I guess? or is there an Imaginary Hill between the first and the second, is that why you are ahead of yourself ? Or are you assuming the inverted turn be a "Hill"
I don't think so. Can someone give me an understanding to all this ? I don't see the word second in the MF gallery , it just skips to third. That's a problem or an odd typo.
that great big overbanked turn you go up into right after first drop and then down again into the first tunnel is second hill :) might be becaused it is more often titled "over banked turn" that you never see it called second drop

Yeah, you wouldn't think of the first overbanked turn as a drop, but it REALLY is. Therefore, the 3rd hill is the one right after the first tunnel.

Steuks!!
Even on the Promo, it says "3rd hill, 182 feet" whih means the "Magnum Hill" after the 1st tunnel

The Over banked turns are considered drops because You do experiance a drop on them, that is why the Second actual hill is really the third drop and so on......

I think we can close this topic, as the question has been answered.
