the best turn-around element on an out and back

IYO what is the best turnaround element on a coaster

mine has to be steel dragon 2000 the g-force is awesome and its quite complex

I would say the best turnaround element is the one on my new coaster. Fast smooth and some good g's.

a turn

yes, turns are so exciting [approve]

i would say an overbanked turn if its a steel ride and if its going fast enough

Something simple usually works for me -- preferably a CCI swoop, but anything that gets me back to the station will work.

the topic states for an out and back.

Tough call. Only Out and backs Ive really been on havent been exactly complex. Theres Magnum, with the pretzel turn - fun but not crazy about it.
Then there is Shivering Timbers which has an awesome swoop turn. Villain, same thing only a bit more intense (though it is a double out and back). Then I have Nitro which hammerhead is a very good element.

Its probably a tie for Nitros Hammerhead and ST's swoop turn. Im just a sucker for the swoop turns mostly.

The cobra roll on Alpengeist. the g's and it flips you so fast. Its my favorite ride ever

Wait, Alpengeist isnt exactly a out and back. Then my favorite would have to be the helix on Apollos Chariot.

just a fast helix with a lot of veticals
or for the woodies somethings with lats

'nuff said.

As for the out and backs that I've been on, Timber Terror's turnaround is by far my favorite.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Voyage's massive turnaround, it looks pretty interesting.

Phantom's Revenge is my favorite Hyper, and my favorite coaster at my Homepark, Kennywood. I love the bankcurve turnaround.

BTW, it's fixed -- so many forums, too little time.

How about the backwards launch on the Irn Bru Revolution Blackpool!

ye the ejector air on the backwards drop is insane!!!!!!!

I like Timbor Terror's turn around, the park's brochure gives you a nice picture of it, I don't seem to be able to find a decent on on the internet.

off the topic . . .so which one of you is better at designing coasters . . . duhn duhn duhnnnnnnnnnn

(Off topic) Yes, we should see if they will do a contest between each other.

i love that upper turnaround, it goes down with a double down and the airtime is amazing! Too bad there isn't really a good picture from it...

yes we will have a contest on hyper rails but seriously the hammerhead on raging bull is the best (englishcoasterguy told me that) hahahaha

If both of you are on the same computer that will present problems concerning uploads, trust me.

As for Timber Terrors turn around, that was an easy find!
