kadabrium Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The first drop and immelmann of Gate Keeper combined is similar to a Norwegian loop with a downward (instead of horizontal) exit. Takabisha also has a jojo roll in the dark section. and I think I once saw a barrel roll in a tunnel on an Intamin inverted coaster somewhere in Finland.

Found it.
3Mutts Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Projekt Helix at Liseberg will be the only other coaster to feature a Pretzel Knot (Moonsault Scramble is the other) Moonsault Scrambles Pretzel Knot Projekt Helix Layout.
Zem Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 These odd loops on the Texas Tornado: These really weird looking inversions on Formule X:
A.J. Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Was Texas Tornado always that way? It seems as though the inversions were re-profiled - does anyone have photos from when that ride opened?
Zem Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Was Texas Tornado always that way? It seems as though the inversions were re-profiled - does anyone have photos from when that ride opened? I'm not sure. These are the oldest pictures I could find: Here is the ever strange Saxaphone as well:
DougMJr Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 ^^Judging by the POV it looks like it might have had just enough speed to get through the second loop at that larger radius. Maybe it was re-profiled to reduce the likelihood of valleying.
DarienLaker Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Maverick's Horseshoe roll!
brisingr25 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The rare drop at Hersheypark. Great Bear, B&M Inverted: And I think Expedition Ge Force's curved drop it's unique too: Photos from RCDB.com
rolercstrluvr Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I'd have to say the jojo roll on Hyrdra's Revenge.
Zem Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The Arrow Suspended Corkscrew: The powered coaster loop on Looping at Parc Saint Paul:
vacoaster09 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Sky Scrapper (Starry Night Ripper) - From the reviews this 540 roll is both unique and amazing.
gforce1994 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Son of Beast's loop was a unique element for a woodie. No it wasn't: Look up Flip Flop Railway!
rctneil Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Sky Scrapper (Starry Night Ripper) - From the reviews this 540 roll is both unique and amazing. That part is just plain odd. It's a standard heart-line roll but then you twist over half as much again. It disorientates you quite a bit to be honest.
gforce1994 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Basically most of the Storm Runner's elements are unique. The odd-shaped immelmann: The flying snake dive: The odd turns into the brake run: Why does the picture date from 2000 when the coaster was built in 04?
A.J. Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Yes, but I'm pretty sure that it was put INTO RCT3, and not the other way around.
Zem Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) ^ ^^ Aren't all of the RCT3 coasters based on real life designs? Edited January 9, 2013 by Zem
KingRCT3 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Yes, or prototype, like the Thrill-lift, which was a Stengel design if my memory's good.
larrygator Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Son of Beast's loop was a unique element for a woodie. No it wasn't: Look up Flip Flop Railway! Do you know anyone who rode both of those coasters?
Double0Kevin Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Couldn't find one when it was Zonga... but the Loop-Screw was awesome and so wrong at the same time.
Zem Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 This is a unique and intense coaster element that is a must ride for any coaster enthusiast. The Wacky Worm!
DarienLaker Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Ultra Twister's pipelined heartline roll, only on a TOGO coaster!
