I voted for the vertical loop, more acuratly a Schwarzkopf loop. OUTCH. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.

I personally like all inversions except boomerangs found on most arrow coasters and some vekoma coasters. Boomerangs are so rough, they hurt my head, and that's one of the reasons that my hometown park got rid of our main attraction: The Steel Phantom. It also had a Boomerang, and was very rough so the remolded the Steel Phantom, turned it into a Hyper/Terrain Coaster and Called it The Phantom's Revenge-Great results.

Actually, I think most people who have ridden a Schwarzkopf looper will have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

I don't like Cobra Rolls that much. I don't hate them but I just think that they are'nt that exciting.

It realy depends on what coaster the inversions are on. Like I hate Cobra Rolls on boomers but I like cobra rolls on B&M's.
I don't realy dislike any invertion.

i voted for corkscrews but they are ok on inverted rolercoasters. i have never been on a rollercoaster that has a batwing, a top hat, a immelmann loop, sea surphant roll, etc. i reckon dive loops are kinna boring and cobra rolls are very boring, but a sea surphant rolls will be much better than a cobra roll i think. an inversion that aint on the list is a camalback twist, they are very good.

I voted heartline roll, mainly because, although it was a pretty cool sensation, the only ride I've been on with a true one was Ultra Twister at SFAW, and the roughness killed any pleasure I could've gotten from it. As to that guy saying Shwarztkopf loops are bad, THAT's THE BEST PART!! That's half the fun on Shockwave at SFoT, two loops that almost squash you, then two spots of ejector seat air in the back [:D] But for the other inversions, I don't like boomerangs on Vekoma coasters, but I like cobra rolls on Beemers, and other things like that

i LOVE all b&m corckscrews but it's just the vekoma...least damage: head ache...worst damage: death!

I'd have to say the corkscrew. G forces have to be highly toned down and on standups, they make me feel overweight! Another inversion in which wasn't on the list would be the being inverted out of a train and SPLAT!

Well, since it's not listed, I'll add it here.

Not particularly my worst, in fact, one of my favourite. Definately the scariest though...

o Hanging upside down 5000 ft up in the air in a two-seater low-winged monoplane :D

The bulldog, to be precise :)

Actually, on viper at SFDarien Lake, after you go down the drop on the MCBR's you just bang your head lightly entering a corkscrew and it is very smooth after that. But then after you exit the twin corkscrews, OUCH! But most arrow/vekoma coaster's corkscrews hurt[stoning]

Hi its me.
My worst inversion has to be the cobra roll because it is so rough.I went on a boomerang coaster at American Adventure and really jerked my head.

P.S.Why does everyone have to mown when our cobra rolls are jerky on our coasters. I think enough people said they were jerky in real life!

I frickin hate cobra rolls. It's strange... they look so dang cool... but in order to get the lateral g forces right, they have to be slowed down to the point of being boring in that middle section... and have no g's in the half loops.

Yeah, I agree, but those are the arrow and vekoma ones you are talking about, right? If you ride a B&M cobra roll, They are smooth and I usually hate Cobra rolls, on Raptor, I loved it!

errr, I hate that too. On Boomerang at SFDL I was so bored cause of the Cobra Roll, I don't like Vekoma Boomerangs. But as I said in the post above, if you ride a B&M cobra roll, you will be amazed by how well they do it!

A loop just feels like you are going straight forward. It dont feel like your upsidedown at all. Whats wrong with it?
