Inclined loop

Inclined Loop on Chang at Kentucky Kingdom.

An inclined loop, also known as an oblique loop is a vertical loop that is tilted at an angle usually between 45 and 80 degrees. The train enters the loop while banked. The element is essentially in between a helix (horizontal loop) and a vertical loop.

Inclined loops are found on some Top Fun sit-down roller coasters as well as some Bolliger & Mabillard stand-up and winged roller coasters.

The first roller coaster with an inclined loop was Mantis at Cedar Point, a Stand-Up Coaster installation from Bolliger & Mabillard. It has since become a floorless coaster called Rougarou.
