Best Zero G roll?

I would have to say Medusa/Bizarro SFGAdv. Its so smooth and extended and perfect. All other ones have some weird lats, or some sort of vibration or track imperfection, or they have too much/ too little airtime or they are too quick. Its perfect imo.

I really love Kumba's. It rolls over, then sort of drops or continues the airtime all the way into the trench before the cobra. It always makes it seem more extreme than it really is.

^ yes. kumba is my favorite b&m of all time.

I thought Krakens was my least favourite, quite quicky and sharp. Kumba's is amazing, as was Dragon Khan's was also nice, very intense ride but super smooth too.

i must say i always have enjoyed the zero-g on shockwave drayton. it does actually do zero-g and you get a little moment before on the front row where you can see it in all its glory and wideness coming brfor you hit the element. not the best one ive been on because kumba's one is the best but worth a mention

It's gotta be the zero-g on Nemesis at Alton Towers - being flipped over the top of the alien-themed station building, as you fear for your arms/legs being chopped off by the monster's eyeball inches away from you. Just a feeling of 'wow - that was a crazy 3 seconds' and to capture the moment and expression on your face they also take the onride photo at that point!

^^ now that I think of it, looking at the dates, was Shockwave actually made WITHOUT B&M? Hmmmm.....

Dragon Challenge's zero-G is also worth a mention for the awesome duel factor.

built by B&M engineers but designed by intamil[:D]

i didnt say nemmys zero-G because i was looking a track rider cars only. as inverts go its the best though

B&M wasn't affiliated at all with that ride; It's Giovanola, dude.

Kumba for sure, yes. Montu's is pretty fun. I remember Batman's being very very weird and unusual, in a good way. Raptor has a fun one. I don't think I've ever been on a 'bad' Zero-G roll. They're high on my favorite inversions, probably only behind Dive Loops.

^I share the same opinion of inversions as you. Dive loops definitely my favorite inversion. The graceful feeling they give is great. I've really only been on two zero-g rolls not counting Hulk. I'd have to say I like Dragon Challenge's over Raptor, but just becuase of the cool dueling effect. Raptor's is nice though, but after riding it so many times its kind of lost its special feeling.

Well, B&M was the progeny of Giovanola, so you could argue that they are related by the associative property.

I completely forgot about Hulk's. Hulk's takes the cake lol.

For me, it is eaassily Hulk. Favourite by far!

Hydra. The longest time at zero g on any B&M Ive been on. The radius is pretty large on that one. Its not the OMG UBER FASTEST roll, far from it, but it provided the longest duration of rotation and floater Ive been on. Patriot looks the same but even longer.

I like em long like that...

Word of the day is: Long.

daemonen, back row, outer left seat...
Uh - mazing!

For some reason, I have this memory of riding a 0-g roll and actually feeling 0-g...but I can't for the life of me remember what ride it was on!!! Whatever ride it was, though, that's the best [:)]

I'm actually not a big fan of the floating style 0G rolls like Real described on Hydra. I think they're a lot of fun, but the faster and more intense rolls of rides like Raptor, Ice Dragon, and Great Bear are much more exciting to me. Of those, my favorite is probably Raptor, because of the lateral forces, the strong pop of air at the start/end if you're in the right seats, the small but deceiving bank in the other direction at the start, and the speed, both rotational and translational. Most of those features are on the other two I mentioned, but Raptor's is larger and I appreciate the increased heights and slopes. I remember enjoying Hulk's roll, and I think I would really like the one on Kumba.

I'll also note that I liked the rolls on both sides of Chiller as much as I do Raptor's. The pacing through them was awesome, and the banking pause at the top was disorienting and effective. The lapbars made them much better than it was before.

^If you like fast and intense rolling action Zero-Gs, you would very much love Kumba's. Raptor's is one of the more intense ones yes, but Kumba's blows it out of the water.

Yeah that's why I know I would like Kumba's. With that said, I'm pretty sure Batman's is quicker than Raptor's, and I prefer Raptor's because it's fast enough to be intense, but slow enough that it's not over before you know it. The rotation is also much smoother, so it feels like a very fast roll as opposed to a fast rotation with a jerk. Perfect balance. I don't think that would be a problem with Kumba's given its size, but it's hard to tell in that case without riding.

i have seen the original designs, you are wrong. designed by intamin and built by B&M engineers before the they all became singular companys[^]

How am I the first to mention the Zero-G roll on Silver bullet?
