'''Devil's Loop''' (pl. ''Diabelska pętla'') is a [roller coaster](/source/roller_coaster) located in [Legendia](/source/Legendia). It was moved in 2007 from [American Park of Adventure](/source/American_Park_of_Adventure) in the [United Kindgom](/source/United_Kingdom)<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last= |title=Diabelska Pętla - Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko (Chorzów, Śląskie, Poland) |date= |work=rcdb.com |url=https://rcdb.com/3849.htm |language=en}}</ref>.

It was the first ever roller coaster in Poland to feature inversions. The second-to-last row of seats faces backwards, akin to [DC Rivals HyperCoaster](/source/DC_Rivals_HyperCoaster)<ref>{{Citation |title=Przeciążenie 3G i dwa razy do góry nogami od dziś w Wesołym Miasteczku |date=2016-12-20 |url=http://web.archive.org/web/20161220084748/http://www.slaskie.pl/strona_n.php?jezyk=pl&grupa=10&art=2069}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Legendia |title=Tornado |date=2018-07-06 |work=www.legendia.pl |url=https://www.legendia.pl/atrakcje/tornado/ |language=pl-PL}}</ref>. It also features an unusual wheel assembly without a distinguishable [up-stop wheel](/source/Up-stop_wheels) or side wheel. Instead, it has a hybrid up-stop/side wheel that does both jobs. Between the 2018 and 2019 seasons, it underwent an extensive refurbishment that included a name change from Tornado to Devil's Loop<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last= |title=Diabelska Pętla - Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko (Chorzów, Śląskie, Poland) |date= |work=rcdb.com |url=https://rcdb.com/3849.htm |language=en}}</ref>.

== Ride summary ==
Immediately after leaving the station, the train climbs a 20 meter lift hill, then goes down a right-hand curve into a drop. After the drop, it traverses two consecutive loops and a low turn to the left. It then goes into a right hand helix into the station.

== Theme ==
From 2007 to 2011, when [Tic Tac](/source/Tic_Tac) was the sponsor, the logo appeared on the front of the train, at the entrance, as well as on a wall on the station<ref>{{Cite web |title=Devil's Loop - Legendia Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko (Chorzów, Śląskie, Poland) |url=https://rcdb.com/3849.htm |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260112220318/https://rcdb.com/3849.htm |archive-date=2026-01-12 |access-date=2026-03-31 |website=rcdb.com |language=en}}</ref>.

After the 2018–2019 refurbishment, the station received a [mining](/source/Mine_(mining)) theme with elements of [folklore](/source/folklore). The track is green with dark gray supports, however, the running rails are metallic gray. The train has a blue-brown color<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last= |title=Diabelska Pętla - Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko (Chorzów, Śląskie, Poland) |date= |work=rcdb.com |url=https://rcdb.com/3849.htm |language=en}}</ref>.
