Favorite element

[coasterkyle]

Immelmen's

Stangle Dives

Sea Serpent roll

The look of interlocking Corkscrews/ Wingovers

oh and the only beyond Vert drop that actually does something is Mavericks 95 degree drop

[stricklandCC]

I've always been a fan of the "space dives" on the now defunct Flashback, and X2's "half-half". Sheikra's immelman is near perfect.

[PKI Jizzman]

Mr. Freeze's inverted top hat and also the launch up the spike/back down.

Titan's HUGE airtime hill.

Afterburn/Krypton Coaster's zero g.

Diamondback's first drop.

Maverick's stengel dives.

Mystery Mine's vertical lifts.

 

 

Scooby Doo's Spooky Coaster's secret surprises!

[Airtime&Gravity]

Mr. Freeze's inverted top hat - it's not very intense, but it is scary with being upside down so high in the air with only a lap bar holding you in

Viper's double down drop - a great moment of airtime

Nitro's helix - very very intense

Cobra rolls

Zero-G rolls

Vertical loops - so simple, but still a lot of fun

Not a single element, but El Toro's finale with the highly banked turns and filled with airtime is awesome

Shivering Timbers helix - a fast helix, and although nowhere near as intense as Nitro's, it is still a lot of fun

[ZeroG001]

Xcelerator's top hat

Cobra rolls

Pretzel loops

Zero-G rolls

Airtime hills

[mightbeawannabe]

I shalt now resurrect a dead thread! (thunder and lightning)

Okay, now that's that's been done.....

 

Zero G Rolls or Inverted top hats.

[imawesome1124]

My favorites are cobra rolls and airtime hills.

[AGLOIATHPENGUIN123]

Cobra rolls and THE FIRSTDROP!

[cal1br3tto]

I may or may not have slightly random tastes in elements. Oh, and I don't know or care if these are all "elements".

 

--Vertical and beyond-vertical drops of any style

--Cobra rolls, vertical loops, and pretzel loops

--Series of bunny hops (American Thunder, etc.). So classic, especially when contrasted with twister elements!

--Classic chain lifts on sitdown coasters, and flying coaster lift hills

--Launches

--Surprise drops (caused by darkness, sudden change of direction, timing, etc.)

--Extreme headchoppers

--Hills with stand-up airtime, and all great airtime hills

--Overbanked turns

--Intense helices (Goliath at SFMM, etc.)

--Any drop or turn on a woodie that provides a great view of the lift hill and first drop (Renegade, Coaster, etc.)

--Theming!!!
