El Toro

After the quick climb up the lift hill, trains encounter this left 180° turn before making the big plunge.  At the bottom of the drop, the trains rapidly pass under this section of track.  Although I know that there is plenty of clearance between the trains and the track above them, I think I lower my hands and duck every time I dive under the track.  It is a great "head-chopper effect" at the start of the ride!
