Heartline or Inline?
[edit]I've noticed there's been a little controversy over the nature of Collosus' twists. I am in favour of them being heartline rolls, since the riders are kept roughly in the centre as the track moves up and around. Head on the sequence of inversions resembles a 'tunnel', whereas an inline twist just looks like a knot in the track.

- This image provides a pretty good view [1]. As you can see, the track is circular, keeping the riders at the same level, rather than the twists being 'inline'. 212.188.147.146 (talk) 11:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
