The coaster, Raging Bull has a pre-drop
A pre-drop or kicker is a feature generally found on Bolliger & Mabillard roller coasters. After the lift hill, a Pre-drop acts as a shelf for the front of the train when the back is still leaving the lift hill. This is used to reduce strain on the chain lift.
