I've noticed this on Nemesis and subsequently googled images of other coasters and this seems to be true for the majority of them.
The front two carriages on a train are fixed in relation to each other - i.e. they still bank independently but the second car is always level with the lead car. This is difficult to explain so I'll use images to illustrate my point (i've included photos of other B&M inverts to further illustrate my point).
Anyone have any idea why this is?
The gap between train 1 and 2 is different than the gap between 2 and 3.
Car 1 & 2 are both at the exact same angle.
Again, gap between train 1 and 2 is different from the following carriages - both carriages are both at the same angle.
If anyone wants to explain this in a way that makes sense or has any idea why this is, feel free to say your piece.
