Smiler's inversions

[vdch34278]

In contrast to what RCDB has listed, here's my take on the inversions that Alton Towers' Smiler has:

Heartline Roll

Corkscrew
Cuban 8
Batwing
Corkscrew

Corkscrew
Sea Serpent
Cobra Roll
Heartline Roll
Heartline Roll

Apparently no one has noticed that the back-to-back Immelmans at the beginning make a Cuban 8, or that the two sidewinders that follow it make up a batwing (but it's not your typical batwing). I feel there should be more coasters built with Cuban 8's.

You forgot inversion 14. I counted just 13.

Fixed

Nope.

Inline twist,
Zero G Roll,
Dive Loop
Dive Loop
Batwing
Corkscrew
Zero G Roll,
Sea Serpent,
Cobra Roll,
Then the last two are corkscrew/Zero G roll hybrids.. aka designed to fit in the space available to get back to the station rather than designed with forces in mind.

Aren't the two inversions right after the first 0G roll Immelmans?

No, an Immelman travels in the opposite direction, half loop and then a twist, rather than a twist into a half loop.
