I don't like that one, its the most boring part of the whole coaster, the horizontal loop in the back of this picture is much cooler, somethimes I even black out for a sec in that

Patriot's in the front and back is extremely forceful. I love it.

I still think the helix on the purple Giovanola inverted coaster in South Africa looks frigging wicked. I'd really like to ride that someday.

I have to say The 270 Helix on Nemesis-BackRow, throws you right up to the fence and ground then throws you down into the path of the beast over a pool of "blood"!http://www.towersnerd.com/gallery/?image=716

The Helix On Nemesis, without a doubt. The force generated on the way out of it, especially in the back row is pretty damn crazy, plus your feet are about 2 feet away from a fence and a wall all the way round it.

The final helix on Nemesis Inferno, just before the brakes is also good, really intense g's.

The helix on Nitro was really good because it had good force, although not as intense of a force as on the two Nemesis coasters, but it lasted for ages and ages and you could feel your neck crushing [lol]

Titan at SFOT has a spectacular helix, with this really intense, prolonged feeling of speed and forcefulness which makes it feel really trippy, I seemed to start seeing these flashing lights as everything wooshed passed, it just felt wonderful. http://www.rcdb.com/ig742.htm?picture=2
