00:00We're at the construction site for the Tormenta Rampaging Run, our new multi-record-breaking
00:16roller coaster set to open this year. Now we're putting the final pieces on another record-breaking
00:22element of this roller coaster, the world's highest Emelin inversion. This inversion will
00:27take riders to a height of 218 feet in the air at a whopping 87 miles an hour.
00:33Emelin is an aerobatic maneuver used in the competition, but it was also originally developed
00:38by a German pilot during World War I. The idea was, is while you're going one direction and
00:44the enemy airplane is going the opposite direction, you could trade all your energy and you go
00:49over the top almost like a half of a loop until you're inverted and then rapidly roll the aircraft
00:55right side back up and you'd be going right behind your enemy.
