Wave turn

A wave turn is a roller coaster element in which the track starts with a banking around of around 60 degrees, it then banks to 90 degrees and then goes in to a sideways airtime hill, before banking back to around 60 degrees. This element is called a wave turn due to it's wave-like shape and it is not featured on the Bolliger&Mabillard hyper coaster, known as Mako at SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida.

Mako doesn't have a wave turn.
