Other information
The Whoa Belly has an additional operating mode, "Downward Launch" (Corkscrew Follies/Added Attractions and onward). This pulls the ride up to the top of the tower and drops it, like the Roto-Drop, but then it "bounces" back up after hitting the bottom.

This ride is called Launched Freefall in the European version of RCT1 and all versions of RCT2.

In real life
The Whoa Belly is modeled after the pneumatic drop/launch towers manufactured by S&S.
