Mine would have to be the flying snake dive

Flying Snake Dive

[Jumboshrmp]

Zero G Roll has my favorite sensation... but overall my favorite is a nice, HUGE loop.

I don't like the tiny loops that pull hard positive G's all around. Those are just stupid. I like the huge loops like on Montu, Kumba, Kraken, Dominator, etc, that have tons of hangtime. I also like the immelman on Sheikra for it's hangtime.

 

And is it just me, or do others also think that the inverted Zero G Roll isn't nearly as effective as the floorless one?

[mightypotato]

Zero-G roll for the win. I absolutely love the inversion...its just so much fun. That, and it looks awesome on video.

[TheArchfiend]

I went with zero-G over pretzel loop because zero-g's are found on decent coasters. Pretzel loops, while a truly awesome thrill, are mainly attached to flying coasters that SUCK like the various Superman flyers.

 

If they could incorporate the pretzel loop on a decent coaster with speed and not wait 2 plus hours to get on every time, then I will definately say the pretzel loop is supreme.

i love B&M and intamin 0 gs...

and 100+ft loops are awesome

[Jumboshrmp]

Is it just me?, but I really don't like B&M's cobra rolls. Anyone else feel this way?

I agree... they have too much positive G force and snap and not enough hangtime

[TheArchfiend]

I totally agree. Cobra rolls are good for "look" and thats about it.

 

I remember the first time I saw a B&M Cobra roll and said, holy sh*t that looks killer! Then I rode it and and was like... That's it?

 

The Chiller: Robin has a cobra-type roll and it feels intense. But on regular coasters that aren't shot out of a cannon like Chiller they are just, "ehh".

I love going through verticle loops backwards and without OTSRs (like on Montezooma's Revenge) it's a pretty insane feeling.

Flying Snake Dive

 

I love Flying Snake Dives, but still not as much as loops or zero-g rolls.

[Electerik]

The immelman, baby!

 

And there are two, in particular, that I am extemely fond of: Top Gun - The Jet Coaster (also my favorite multi-looper) and SheiKra.

[Oni]

Immelman pulls a close third for me, just beating the vertical loop...

 

Second would have to be the heartline loop on the Vekoma SLCs

[Am I the only one who likes them??]

 

And first, the flying snake dive!

[man]

what about pretzle loops everyone

[Johnny Upsidedown]

I must say I do like some of the more recent Zero G rolls on many of the newer B&Ms. So my favorite element is also a B&M manuver. My favorite element is the batwing on Montu and Top Gun at Carowinds. I love the amount of force they have expecially on Montu even more so with no trim.

[knottslover77]

zero-g-roll than corkscrew in second.

[thomas2]

From the rides I've been on: the double In-Line Twists on a SLC kicks ass

[Golfie]

Although other inversions present amazing sensations (sounds perverted, eh?) I still love vertical loops. Nothing beats 'em. I've only been on one Zero-G roll (on Batman: The Ride) which is nothing like the new ones today (or so I've heard) So I voted for the loop for now.

[yankees15]

My favorite is the immelmann. I just love the hang you get at the top of them.

[dwerling]

I went with loop just based on my ride on Dominator @ GL. It is a frickin huge loop.

[GMAN962]

Darn, i clicked the wrong one. Mine will say In-Line twist, but my favorite is really a Zero-G Roll....but then again I havent been on many coasters, so i havent gone on many of these inversions.......oh well.

the more that I think about it the more I relise I should have put other. As much as I have SUF, I love the Pretzel loop.

yea zero g rolls are cool, but you can't beat the original vertical loop. gotta love the positive g's

[no_brain_er]

I loves ma loops. Loops are pretty much the best inversion ever. Especially on stand up coasters. Interesting feeling on my legs.

[CGM]

Zero G Roll all the way! Particuarly on the B&M sitdown/floorless coasters, (They just don't seem to be as good on inverts).

 

There's nothing quite like the sensation of airtime, hangtime and insane spinnage that can be found in this inversion.

 

This is followed by the Vertical loop which are very good if forceful

[the sound]

Why isn't the Butterfly on this list?

[IceDragon]

im with the traditional vertical loop.

 

i love the B&M Inverts... the loop seems so slow going up,... then you flip over really quickly and dive towards the earth...

 

awesome!
