Octopus arm - Coasterpedia

The octopus arm on Schwur des Kärnan at Hansa Park

An octopus arm is an element that is similar to a cobra roll, except it does not go upside down, like a non-inverted loop. Instead, it passes through a half non-inverted loop and a twisted dive. It exists the opposite direction like a bowtie.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

The octopus arm is only found on one coaster, Schwur des Kärnan at Hansa Park.
