Calicoasters Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Vertical Loops are my favorite Elements! A close second would be Zero-G-Rolls.
atem122 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I actually just sorted out my top three X2's drop (I don't care if it's officially an element or not, it's still amazing) Pretzel Loop Silver Bullet's overbanked curve (somebody's gotta show that ride some love)
Calicoasters Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 ^I like that over banked curve too, I just hate that there is no angle to the first drop... I think the lift hill is steeper!

So true man, I mean I kind of like it being force-less until you get kicked by the loop, but the drop isn't fun at all until that point
tkkyj Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 My favorite element is water, of course... Pretty sure you weren't serious, but I am... I love when water is incorporated into rides... water bombs, waterfalls, paddle wheel boats, log flumes, Pirates of the Carribbean, splash downs and mist machines. As far as coaster/track elements, I like vertical launches ala Top Thrill Dragster and Xcelerator... for a short time it's like you are an astronaut, facing straight up, going really fast.

TheHulk Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Cobra rolls have always been one of the best elements for me, along with zero g rolls.
the ghost Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Zero G roll The awesome drop turn thing on Colosus(I think) and Torro(I must ride it someday) Pretzel Loop
tedten Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 First Drops into underground tunnels & Norwegian Loops. I love Raging Bull's first drop. Imagine if Behemoth or Millennium Force's first drop was into an underground tunnel.
the ghost Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 In response to this thread I posted that got closed: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49763 I didn't mean which element is your favorite in terms of experience (that thread I KNEW had been posted before). I meant which element do you think has the coolest name, kind of like a element counterpart to this thread: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47945 I searched for a thread about that and got nothing, so I thought it was okay to post. I think that the thread you suggested would get pretty repetitive pretty quick. There are only so many element names.
The Mike Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Favorite element has got to be the mid course break run. But if i had to pick a second it would be Tatsu's pretzel, even though it stole my car keys.
macca_boy69 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Mine would have to be the 2nd and 3rd hill on Superman: Escape at Movie World on the Gold Coast. I know its nohing special. But i havent ridden much Robby
Manny In England Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Inverted top hats. There needs to be waaaaaaaay more of them. Amen to this.
Vffreak07 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Nah top hats with airtime = Glorious. I also like overbanks. Silver Bullet's overbank is Godly.
Manny In England Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 ^ You could try getting the best of both worlds with a Kingda Ka / Stealth style hill at the bottom for airtime.
Train Driver Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 1. First Drop on Expedition Ge Force 2. Airtimehills with a lot of Airtime (like Expedition Ge Force) 3. The HeartlineRoll on Blue Fire, its my frist HearlineRoll ever and the first with LapBars
B-RadG Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 1. Sidewinder 2. Arrow's loop Yeah... I'm a simple person
coasterguy618 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 1. El Toro's first drop. 2. Alpengeist's Cobra Roll 3. Maverick's Stengel Dives
cal1br3tto Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 1. Airtime hills! 2. Headchoppers! I used to love them because I thought it was cute how I took them so seriously and consistently ducked. Now I've realized it's more of a rush to just keep my hands all the way up. 3. Towers/spikes--I may be wrong on the terminology, but I'm talking about vertical drops facing down, like on Vertical Velocity and Aftershock (fka Deja Vu). 4. Banked curves--I'm not so excited about them anymore, but I used to think they were really scary, believing the "sideways parts" would make me feel like I would fall out. 5. Lift hills still freak me out a little, especially in the very back seats or looking down at the first drop. I hope those are all "elements"!
Franc Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Zero-G Rolls on Sit Down Coasters. (Medusa-Kraken-Hulk-...) And I know I hate Pretzel Loops.
Allena.k.a.Alan Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Corkscrews for Arrow because they're probably the smoothest parts.
Talon3110 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 -Flying snake dive on Stormrunner -Double up on Phoenix -Pretzel loops Least favorite=Flatspins/corkscrews (they tend to make my head bang)
cal1br3tto Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 mmm...Pretzel loop... (was totally not thinking of the food connotation when I wrote "mmm")
