jray21 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I'm not nerdy enough to know all of the names of the elements, so I will just put a ride name and an explanation. 1. First drop and roll at the bottom on X2 2. B&M Pretzel Roll (Tatsu) 3. Zero-G style roll at the top of a hill (Heartline Rolls?) Like on Medusa and Scream 4. Airtime 5. Similar to 3, but no loop, on Kawasemi (you transition from one side to another at the top of a hill)
aimster Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 The zero-G roll on Montu and the first loop on Kumba. LOVE.
1pizza14 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Zero G roll. I really like the one on Dragons Challenge and Kraken
takeariisk Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Bizarro's last airtime hills. AMAZING. or El Toro's leap over RT.
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 It would have to be Medusa West's unique Sea Serpent Roll. Basically a reverse sidewinder. Of all the ones I've ridden with a Zero G Roll, I've never really felt much "zero G" for some reason. Is it just me or could you really be "immune" to it?
coasterlover420 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My favorite has to be the pretzel loop followed closely by airtime hills However, I think Starry Night Ripper's new element is gonna pack a big amount of thrill. I hope I get to ride it someday..
the ghost Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I still like zero g rolls the best by far. I love how they're kinda floaty and it's almost "airtime" but not really. Also I like how they are all relatively different, for example scream and silver bullets zero gs= while BTRs= yet they are the same element. Then comes airtime hills... although this may sorta change as I am loving the "transitions" on green lantern and would be amazed if the airtime on these wasn't excellent... especially the awesome part into the break eun where you go vertical... that to me looks like mad uoside down ejector air. Lastly is the pretzel loop, which I love... but if it lasted longer I would likely black out. Also, not to diss the classics I am a fan of vertical loops and corkscrews on companies that can do them right... so no arrow and no vekoma here.
pillsberry123 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Dominator's Loop Raptor's Cobra Roll The Beast's Helix Magnum's last bunny hill (my favorite moment of airtime on any coaster!)
ABW Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I'd have to say this: 1.95 Degree Drop found on Maverick (Ejector Airtime) 2.Turns and Transitions found on Maverick 3.X2's first drop and pretty much every other Element found on it 4.Zero-G-Rolls 5.Immelmans
WW1 Flying Ace Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Anything with airtime. (Zero G rolls, hills it doesn't matter!) B&M Pretzel loop is by far the most intense element I have been on. (I haven't been on a 4D coaster yet)
The SETGO Guys Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 ZERO-G! Pretzel Loop! and anything with Airtime!
JJ728 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 This (when the track is complete obviously ) And the dive loop in this picture: Picture from RCDB
tiger01 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 This... Suprisingly it was a nice day for England! Today was to actually up at Clacton. ( A seaside town ruined by a WINDTURBINE FARM!!!
eddie200330 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Whatever you want to call this, it is one of the best twisty-loopy elements going!! credit to RCDB
Henry M Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 We all have an certain element on a certain coaster that makes us more exhilarated than any other. Maybe it is an incredible loop, a fast barrel roll or a airtime hill. For me it has to be the top hat on Helix, over the cliff face hanging upside down, sensational!
ShaneH Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I really love the 0g roll on Kumba and the launch through the volcano on Volcano the Blast Coaster
KBrylczyk Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 The sudden, twisting drop of murder underneath the other track on Matterhorn. If you've ridden it, you know what I'm talking about. Katun's low to the ground, high-speed turn after the zero-G roll leading into the cobra roll. Literally any moment of I-305.
Physical Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Literally any moment of I-305. +1 The first airtime hill on Skyrush, it looks so unassuming, until you ride it, and realize just how much speed you hit it with. Talk about ejector air. El Toro's RT Hill, it looks so unassuming, and you don't hit it with much speed, but suddenly you're flung skyward at what feels like an impossible rate. Fury 325's Treble Clef turnaround. that banked drop is lateral porn. The double-up/double-down on Phoenix, it's the start of airtime city, and oh so good.
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I feel like we have had this topic before. . . Edit: Did a quick search and found it. Favorite Element. Not trying to "backseat mod." Just trying to help.
tykunkel1031 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Gotta go with the Immelmann on Thunderbird at HW on the right side. It's even better in the back specifically. The pop of air towering over the plaza is awesome. The weird lateral feeling on the zero-g roll is pretty weird but crazy feeling too. I'm also a huge fan of TTD's top hat. Just slightly insane to look over the entire park. Finally Banshee zero g and inline twist. Probably perfection of those two elements.

Just trying to help. Sorry, this is my first one of these post thing. I don't study all the past topics ever posted, I just wanted to start a discussion and find out what people thought.
