I think it may be 3216549870

Correct - 3216549870

It sounds: did-er-ly, diderly, diderly, pom!

Thanks and there's a nice article "New call changes to try on eight bells" by John Pusey on page 979 of the current issue of the RW.

I have always called this by getting 987 in position first, then 654, and finally 321. Then I tend to just reverse it. My daughter Charlie called it last week and she moved just one bell in each group then did the same in the next group and the next, so b to c in each group of three, then a to c in each group, then a to b. Which just shows that if you think about things with a fresh mind it can be quite different.

321456987
is an interesting row on the 'return trip',
from there, fun to call the bells home quickly, one call each handstroke:

"3to2(lead), 9to8"; (two pairs swap at the same time)
"3to1, 9to7"
"Rounds next time"

Care needs to be taken to ring Rollercoaster well! In particular, 6 must be close to 1, and 9 close to 4. Too often the bigger bells are slow over the smaller ones, causing the row to separate into three groups of three bells.

I believe there's a comparable change on twelve 32147658E09T which produced a similar effect.
