For the first time ever, a wooden roller coaster is being sent upside-down through a corkscrew loop using a traditional wooden track.

A new ride, Hades 360, has opened at Mt Olympus Theme Park in Wisconsin, US.

Designed by The Gravity Group, it features a corkscrew that twists upside-down and an impressive 110-degree overbanked turn.

Previous attempts to send wooden coasters through a corkscrew have used steel as a primary structural component of the track rather than just a running surface for the wheels.

Hades 360 is unique because it uses a completely wooden track, making it the only wooden tracked inversion in existence.
