Element I consists ofthe lift hill, whose

down hill leads intoElement II.

Element II is anuphill segment thatleads into Element

III.

Element III is made up of aseries of angled banked hills

that appear to follow along aninclined half-pipe shape. The

Buzzball will exit in adirection opposite to which it

entered the element.

Element IV will havethe Buzzball enter a

loop-de-loop, ofwhich the enteringand exit height are

the same.

Element V is asecond uphill

segment which willlead the Buzzballinto Element VI.

Element VI is a turn that isslightly inclined down so that

the Buzzball will movesmoothly into Element VII.

From the turn, the Buzzballslides off the track into a funnel

at an angle in order tominimize the gs felt and then

swirls about the funnel(Element VII).

Element VIII is the finale ofthe ride. The Buzzball

splashes down into the Seaof Simulation (water). There

is a small current running,which will bring the Buzzballto the exit dock, where the it

will then be sent up by waysof a pulley/conveyor system.

The energy lost, E(l)=E0-E0[1-(2/100)(l/10)], during this partof the ride and long turns andlow angle of the wavy-banked-

hills prevents a dangerousamount of gs. (The math wasREAL ugly with this, I gave up,but I did 5 other elementsinstead, so its all good in thehood)
