For some time there has been a debate in this forum of who exactly coined
the term Inverted Coaster. Many have stated that in came from coaster
enthusiasts while others say it is a B&M term. Well I found some evidence
in my archives to suggest that is was B&M who defined there invention as an
Inverted Coaster. A picture I took of a sticker on a piece of BTR track as
it laid in the parking lot at SFGAm. Under the category of
"Ride/Installation" the letters "I.C." appear "Inverted Coaster" for the
Drawing Number "IC-A10-080" the piece was item number 15 and there were two
of this piece.
