Notes: In the standard operating procedures of the Mind Bender it says there are three loops, two vertical and one horizontal at a 45 degree angle.  This horizontal loop is sometimes confused for an inversion.  It however does not truly flip riders upside-down so for the rcdb's purposes, it is not considered an inversion.
