Okay I see that it's the maintenance bay, but for those of us who have never done the tour... What am I supposed to be looking at?
The thing on the roof is the track. If you see how it gradually slopes down, proving that its gravity fed out of the station.
Even with my graphic augmentation it's difficult to see the slope because the photograph has such strong perspectival distortion to the left side, so the slope ends up looking like receding perspective rather than the downward angle it actually is. We need a good side-on picture of it for it to be totally comprehensible.
I presume you mean the maintainance track. They have a winch that pulls it back up to the load level. There is also a set of breaks to stop the train when they drop on in.

I wish BGW would consider this before building the Project 2015 coaster.

More on the previous discussion of Nessie being the only gravity launched coaster in the park. These photos still don't justice due to perspective. The station track bed is at an angle, but the whole station is also built at an incline from the incoming side to lower at the outgoing bottom.

They look a lot less restrictive, maybe you could've raised your hands on it back in the day!
Whats the best way to brace your neck for the loops? I always try to hold my head back against the headrests, but it doesnt seem to help. I sit in the very back, if that means anything.
