Cyclone

Here is a view from within the structure of the old coaster.  The lift hill is in the background.  The steel cables emanating from the red object in the middle of this turn are there to help support the structure and track.  As trains make this turn, centrifugal force pushes the track outward, and the cables counteract this force and prevent the coaster's structure for moving laterally.
