Here is how Randy Beaverhead: The Ride (the B&M inverted coaster I talked about last month) will be like:
Exterior Queue:
Riders will walk through the town square of Silverado. There will be facades of a saloon, jail, post office, and a bank which Big Steve Hatchet robbed. It will be two floors. The reason is because it will be home to the tunnel of the coaster as well as a 60 ft. immelmann loop. The immelmann will nearly collide with the queue. There will also be a prop from the film: the stock. The stock in the film will be used when Beaverhead gets captured by angry citizens due to him being framed by Hatchet. The stock will appear in the queue.
Interior Queue:
Riders will enter the home of Randy Beaverhead, connected to a motel. It will house even more props, such as a telegram. At one point you pass through the stable, home to Beaverhead's horse.
Pre-Show:
The pre-show begins with Randy Beaverhead introducing himself and telling the story of how he became a cowboy hero. Something comes from his telegram. Rhonda Bell (the love interest) typed it. It said: "Randy, be careful. Big Steve Hatchet has escaped the town jail and is plotting his vengeance against you. You must be careful. As you know he is a very sinister fellow. He tried to tie me on the railroad once, you remember, right? I highly recommend you stay off the streets. Yours, Rhonda." Beaverhead tells the guests to evacuate, but before he could make a move, Hatchet enters with a tied Rhonda. Hatchet threatens to set the place on fire, so Beaverhead tells the riders to evacuate. The pre-show ends. A ride attendant opens the doors for riders.
Track Layout:
The riders enter a station themed to his farm. Behind his house, he has a farm. The trains will have red-brown harnesses and black back rests. The track color will be black with red-brown railings and the supports will be brown. Once the riders are ready, Hatchet appears above the riders, and reverses the control of the evacuation train. As the train leaves, fireballs appear from Hatchet's gun (simulating gunshots) to the upper left of the station and upper right. The train makes a dip towards a 200 ft. lift hill. While climbing over the motel on the lift, you see Hatchet trying to kill Rhonda. Once you reach the top going down the pre-drop, Beaverhead rescues Rhonda and tries to save the riders, but the train goes down a 200 ft. drop spiraling 180 degrees to the left. Once it reaches the ground, the train goes through a loop and a tunnel under the bank facade. Before you enter, fireballs (again simulating gunshots from Hatchet) appear on the facade. The on-ride camera is hidden under the facade. Exiting the facade, riders nearly collide with the queue and go through the 60 ft. immelmann loop. Exiting the immelmann, the coaster goes through a zero-g-roll and a big cobra roll followed by a block brake. The block brake will be in a warehouse building. The train stops for 3 seconds as Hatchet confronts Beaverhead in the warehouse. Once the riders make a second drop, fireballs appear again (once again simulating gunshots) on the ground. They go through a corkscrew and an underground tunnel. Emerging, they nearly hit on of the buildings in the queue. Riders go through a second corkscrew and a 540 degree helix. Exiting the helix, riders enter the final brakes.
Post-Show:
As the riders enter the station, Hatchet gets arrested. Beaverhead thanks the riders, and Rhonda kisses Beaverhead.

ok, first off, sounds like great fun, but one part I didn't get
>a 200 ft. drop spiraling 180 degrees to the left.
What do you mean here? 180 degrees is like turning around, so how can it be to the left?
