When you reach this point on the track, you feel like you are experiencing a corkscrew without actually going upside down. Instead, the Jump Cut is a spiraling negative-gravity move, making it a first-ever coaster maneuver. Typically, a negative-gravity maneuver is straight up and down (often referred to as a camelback). Not only is it the first time this maneuver has ever been done, but the Treble Clef also bursts through a building façade, sending you roaring over the New York area of the park.įun fact – this move was first sketched out on a paper napkin.
