Rougarou

The 83-foot inclined loop is just like a vertical loop but it is tilted about 45° to the side.  When this coaster opened, it was the first Stand-Up coaster with both an inclined loop and a dive loop.

Since it has been nearly two decades since a Stand-Up coaster has been built, I guess the fad is over.  And in my opinion, this coaster seems to give a smoother ride with the new configuration, and it is a little more comfortable to ride now that it has floorless trains, so I am not at all bothered by the change.
