Favorite Inversion

LawlessBagel · February 12, 2014

1. Batman: The Chiller's top hat. It just did some really messed up (in a good way) things that the Mr. Freezes (while still good) don't do. Hopefully the ride will get rebuilt some day.

2. Batman & Robin: The Chiller's heartland/zero g roll was also really messed up in good way.

3. Most B&M zero g rolls.

4. Plain old vertical loops (especially ones back to back).

Stormrunner's Flying Snake Dive

^ THIS. Easily my favorite part of Storm Runner.

Also, I'm a huge fan of zero-G rolls. Specifically, the one by Premier that can be found on Sky Rocket at Kennywood.....holy hangtime, Batman!!

Stormrunner's Flying Snake Dive

Definitely. I also like big B&M loops, zero-g-rolls (either the floater ones or the really fast ones) and corkscrews on their inverts.

Schwartzkopf loops (Mindbender....mmmmmmmm) and the B&M zero gee roll, especially on Kumba due to the speed at which it takes it.

My favorite inversion that I've experienced would probably be the barrel rolls on Volcano. Those never get old and they're so fun. Other than that I would say Zero G rolls in general. They Always feel awesome

If pretzel loops count, they have my vote.

If not, nothing beats a really good zero-g roll. I really couldn't tell you what makes them so great except for the fact they just feel good. My favorite zero-g roll actually comes on a somewhat mediocre coaster overall for me, Kennywood's Sky Rocket.

Why would a Pretzel Loop not count as an inversion?

Yeah you are right. Just an unsure brain-fart moment on my part.

GnastyGnoric7 · February 16, 2014

For me, I'd say I like both the Norwegian Loop and Zero G Roll.

yay101 · February 16, 2014

My favorite inversions are the zero-g rolls on Raptor, Alpengeist, and Batman-the Ride, the corkscrews on Dominator, and the two vertical loops of Kings Island's Vortex.

Randomman295 · February 16, 2014

Just to name a few:

Tatsu's Pretzel Roll

Superman Krypton Coaster's absolutely stupid huge loop

Silver Bullet's almost inversion overbank (does this count?)

GoBears · February 16, 2014

As much as I dislike the ride, SUF's pretzel loop in the back row usually packs a punch and then the ride is back to being a snooze fest. The Incredible Hulk's roll out of the launch is a lot of fun. The hang time on X-Flight's roll through the control tower is fun too.

I personally prefer the good old vertical loop just because it's the only type of inversion that gives that perfect hang time at the top where you get the strangest upside down feeling (seeing the whole world upside down while still having some positive G's which fools your body/brain into thinking you are still standing/sitting the right way up).

Not only that but I just love the look of a vertical loop, especially the tear drop shaped loops on Arrows. My other favorite inversions are the Zero G, Cobra Roll, Batwing, Immelman/Diving loop, and the Pretzel Loop.

Full throttle's loop. SOOOO much hang time up their. And at night, its an awesome view.

coasterbill · February 18, 2014

Now that I've finally had the opportunity to ride Kumba I have to go with that crazy zero G roll.

Moose · October 17, 2014

I still love zero g rolls. How are the new inversions on Rocky Mountain's Goliath, are they anyone's new favorite?

awclark · October 17, 2014

Zero-g-Rolls found on the older B&M's. So the ones on Kumba, Hulk, Bizarro, Scream!, Dragon Kahn, Medusa etc. Those ones just had more of a thrilling spiraling whip to them whereas the zero-g's found on the newer B&M's simply lack that thrill.

X2coasterfreak · October 17, 2014

My favorite inversion on any coaster has to be the second immelmann on Dragon Challenge's Chinese Fireball side. It is so fast and snappy, not to mention pretty forceful, I absolutely love it!

K1ngdaKa88 · October 17, 2014

My favourite coaster Inversion is the heartline roll! I like it if you go thru slow and fast because when you go thru it slow you have some nice hang time and if you go thru it fast then you get pulled out of the seat!!

CJStephens15 · October 17, 2014

The Flying Snake Dive on Storm Runner takes the cake here. Honorable mention to S:UF's pretzel loop and Gatekeeper's wing-over drop.

I have to say that the pretzel loop on Manta in the backseat has taken the spot for my favorite inversion of all time. The feeling of being pulled through the first half of the loop is unlike anything I have ever experienced before.

Honorable mentions to go the second immelmann on Dragon Challenge; Chinese Fireball as mentioned by X2coasterfreak a couple of posts above, and the zero-g roll on Kumba.
