Anaconda

Anaconda's first drop goes right into a tunnel.  When a train entered or exited the tunnel, a water splash used to occur, but this trick hasn't been turned on in many years.  After the tunnel, the coaster performs a vertical loop nearly 100 feet above Lake Charles.  The second inversion is a "Sidewinder" loop which starts like a vertical loop and ends by rolling like a corkscrew loop.

This picture was taken in 1999, before I even started the CoasterGallery.com website.  The quality of this old picture is pretty poor, but I am leaving it up because it shows the old paint scheme and the water splash.
