Coolest Coaster Inversion

[zackness5]

simple. what do you think the coolest coaster inversion out there is(old or new)

mine is the flying snake dive:D http://www.thrillride.com/stormrunner/snakedive.jpg

[BoRJoYZeE]

The one with 3 loops?

[zackness5]

The one with 3 loops?

lol!......but seriously, which one do you think is the coolest?

[BoRJoYZeE]

Cutback.

Or the Wraparound Corkscrew.

I didn't even know any real life coasters had that! What coaster is that on?

[BoRJoYZeE]

Busch Gardens Europe -Drachen Fire

[infiniteblue]

Well, I quite enjoyed the Zero-G rolls on a Zamperla Volare that I rode recently. It felt really weird, and yet really cool at the same time. You sort of end up on the little cage thing that holds you in.

However, the coolest one to look at has to be the Norwegian Loop on Fahrenheit or Speed Monster.

[CedarPointer]

Maverick's horseshoe roll.

[BoRJoYZeE]

pity it was demolished though...

Indeed.

[SnooSnoo]

My favorite, easily, is Maverick's famed heartline.

I was lucky enough to see it in action.. and would have payed MUCH more to ride it just once before it they took it out. It looked.. and still does look.. incredible.

^I heard that inversion was so forceful it could have been deadly.:weird:

[BoRJoYZeE]

It would of been worth it.

[eot1]

I just love the look of z-g-rolls on B&M Inverters.. Something about them is so cool..

[SnooSnoo]

^I heard that inversion was so forceful it could have been deadly.:weird:

You heard wrong.

It would have been uncomfortable at best, as said by Stengel himself. Basically, like riding a boomerang.

[The Dave]

Loop.

[thetrooper]

Humpty bumpty lift...does that count?

I've been on pretty mundane ones but the bent cuban 8 was cool.

[The Dave]

I meant 3 loops by the way.

[elljhitch]

the bent cuban 8 was cool.
On Ge-force? If so thats my favourite as well!

The "double-take" inversion on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit coming to Universal Studios Florida next year.

1.Flying Snake Dive (Stormrunner,Hersheypark) - Airtime followed by extreme rolls in a split second.

2.Norweigian Loop (Fahrenheit,Hersheypark)- Incredible air entering and exiting and pretyy intense forces on the loop part.

3.Pretzel Loop (Superman:UF,Six Flags GAdv)- Intense as hell.Also,being on your back was one intense,unique experience.

[Alpengeist]

^^Speaking of Hollywood Rockit, I noticed "the drill" today in the construction area. I'm not sure if they actually drilled, but they were moving it into position this morning when the park first opened. Sorry, but I was too busy with my walk-ons on The Mummy, MIB, and The Simpson Ride to stick around to find out.;)

[CedarPointer]

HRRR seems to be missing some supports in that pic.

[Westcot]

^ Haha! Yes, I hear that they decided to go without the supports to save some money. ;)

I envy you. Psshh! Walk-ons. :mad:


;)

[Coastergod]

I would have to go with the raven turn seen on X or Eijanaika

http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/coasters/reviews/x/img/sfmm_x_16.jpg

Or a classic B&M Dive Loop. If you are riding on it, they feel so wierd but cool

[-NGS-]

Nothing special, but I really like the vertical loop on Nighthawk. Like a pretzel loop, the g's while on your back feel really good. The Hhulk's zero-g is also a pretty damn sweet way to start a ride.

You do know that isn't an inversion?

[Garfield 06]

^Purist Extremist!

If it wasn't so ridiculously painful, I'd give credit to the SLC's double roll-over. But as it stands, I like Steel Bullet's majorly overbanked turn and cobra rolls on nearly any coaster.

Who knows?It`s not like they tested it with people before they removed it.

[SnooSnoo]

Lord.. will you READ??

It would have been uncomfortable at best, as said by Stengel himself.

Someone rode it, thought it was uncomfy, and they took it out.

[Westcot]

Well "technically" it isn't, but it could be... :p

[SnooSnoo]

Well "technically" it isn't, but it could be... :p

Well if 'technically' it isn't, then it never could be. :D

[Westcot]

^ But maybe it could... :cool:

[-LiLDaReDeViL5-]

If that's an inversion,than the Impulse at Discovery Kingdom is an inversion.

[Westcot]

Alright, alright, I surrender! It's not an inversion! ;)

[Avian]

Shei-Kras first inversion. It felt awesome, especially when you're JUST the wrong size for the restraint. Ah, yes. I love just floating between the seat and restraint.
Also, don't kill me for my stupidity in terminology!

[Westcot]

^ Haha, that happens to me a lot on SheiKra. Somehow I always get one of the "fat guy seats."

It's kind of weird how much space you have in those seats in the inversions even if you click it as far as it will go.

[Harpo]

I find the JoJo Roll on Hydra at Dorney Park to be rather amusing.

[LightGrenades]

Maverick's horseshoe roll.

Dunno what makes it so 'special'.

While it looks fun, I think they hyped it too much. zero-g into turn into zero-g again.


+1 for Hydra's Jojo. :up:

[Sil1994]

The inline twist from the outside seats in PortAventura's Furius Baco:

[Ice101]

Tatsu's Dive Loop is hand's down my favorite

[DJ Screech 09]

Vertical Loop.

That is all.

[BoRJoYZeE]

Vertical Loop.

That is all.

Good to see that you choose a classic. :)

[KingVeveraine]

I like the 'Quad Heartline-roll' as RCDB puts it.

http://cache.rcdb.com/pictures/picmax/p6546.jpg

It feels just like the JoJo roll, except 4 in a row!

And Thorpe Park just installed the Jojo roll to their new coaster :)!

[fathorse]

Where is that quad roll?

[KingVeveraine]

It's at Thorpe Park, one of the UK's most popular themeparks.

[luke_1990]

Having only been on coasters in England my favourite inversion is the first corkscrew on Nemesis as it has some great G's and my favourite element is the helix after it as thats even more intense imo.

[Squid2]

What coaster is that quad heartline on at Thorpe? It's a great pic!

Squid2

[tycooner55]

One of my favorites is Dominator's vertical loop.

[thetrooper]

Well, there's only 5 big ones max...they're all one of the most popular :p

[KingVeveraine]

Squid2

It's Colossus of course! Famous for being the worlds first 10 looping rollercoaster (although SR3D claims it has 5 as heartlines are 'Fake Inversions' Silly him!

Well, there's only 5 big ones max...they're all one of the most popular :p

I refuse to admit Drayton manor is 'popular', it is a truly awful park!

[thetrooper]

Quality has nothing to do with popularity...just look at the music charts.

Fanboys. Everything is special.

That barel roll on Baco looks beast.I am dying to ride an Intamin like that.When will they put one in the US?

[Squid2]

Thanks, King. That does look like fun. If I can ever get to Europe, Thorpe is on the list of parks to visit.

Fanboys. Everything is special.

^Nice.

I also like Scream's immelman. I don't know why, but it always did something for me.

[disneyland123]

I like the plain vertical loop from California Screamin'. But my favorite has to be......




Silver Bullet's Zero-G Roll!

4 heartline rolls in a row count as 1 to me. And Thorpe is concrete heaven :| AT >>> Thorpe

The raised Zero G and dive loop on Dragon Khan are immense in the dark :up:

I must say I agree with every single thing in this post, inversions have to be spread out! And oof, thinking of Dragon Khan makes me drool.:heart:.

[The Dave]

I must say I agree with every single thing in this post, inversions have to be spread out!
Don't be silly! It is one of the best parts of the ride.

[towersdude]

Inversions should be seperate, but not spread out as such. I'll admit I dont like Colossus' quadroll, it's slow repetitive and boring with no force. For me a great inversion or general manouver has to be forceful, a bit rough (although many will disagree), and be in a great setting and place in the layout.

Colossus corkscrews are probably one of my fav inversions.

After riding the other day, Shockwaves standup 0G roll is awesome.

But by far the best is all of Nemesis' inversions. Yes I'm a bit of a fanboy but that's why! The first wingover is forceful and fast, the 0G roll is incredible with sideways force, the loop is breathtaking looking down into the pit and blood and it packs a punch, and the final wingover is positioned perfectly in the terrain with great pace and force.

But I can say the same about the helix and stall turn.

[The Dave]

I have to agree that Collousus's corkscrews are the best part of the ride but I still think that those barrel rolls make a nice ending to the ride. They almost tell you that the end is coming as they are so slow yet in my opion they are still good fun.

[luke_1990]

^ Id agree that the quad in line twists are a nice end to the ride if the seats didn't dig in as much, as they are by far the most uncomfortable seats Ive been in due to the head banging and the issue with the quad.
