Op 27 augustus van 1997 – twintig jaar geleden – werd de trein van Sirocco gelanceerd richting zijn verticale looping. Na vijftien jaar quasi probleemloos gewerkt te hebben, brak de vliegwiellancering deze late namiddag plots af, met als gevolg dat de tien ton zware trein niet de beoogde topsnelheid bereikte. Het gevaarte raasde op zijn looping, ging naar boven en stortte terug naar beneden volledig volgens plan... Om dan in de terugweg door de looping een wiskundig toeval van ongelofelijke proporties te verwekken: de trein blijft perfect op zijn kop hangen.
