The Bullet is another Reverse INcline Shuttle Launch and resides at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire. It is not quite as complex as the other coaster of this kind in the UK, the Missile.

In this coaster, after being pulled up a steep incline backwards you are released down through the station and round a 270º right hand bend that swoops down below station level before entering the vertical loop. The loop surrounds the station which adds effect and after the loop you turn 90º left then up the other steep hill before doing it all again backwards.

This ride is less painful than the Missile as you are held in by lap bars instead of shoulder restraints. This also adds to the feeling of freedom as you travel round the track, especially the loop.
