A unique poll as WWS pointed out. I have never seen this poll or even thought about it but it really is a good discussion starter [8D]

The inverted seaserpent is my fav (I know that you can only post ten different ones). It's intense, disorienting, and you'll never fully recover from it. *falls to the floor*

lol

Inverted Vertical loop's pretty cool.

btw a flatspin is a corkscrew if i remember correctly

Well, the difference between a flatspin and a corkscrew is that a corkscrew has a constant radius all the way, while flatspins have a tighter radius towards the top. Corkscrews gives more hangtime I think.

the only reason i realy love the corkscrew is becaus of outer limits fight of fear at paramounts kings dominion. that corkscrew at the very end right before the brakes is just awsome. it feels like your floating. i love it.

i think barrel rolls/zero G rolls are one of the best inversions, but only on inverted rollercoasters because you get more swing on them. well all inversions are better on inverted rollercoasters than verted rollercoasters

I think that Immleman's and the Bowie (AKA: Pretzel Knot) elements are great. For some of you who don't know what a Immelman is, it's a dive loop, only you enter at the bottom then roll out unlike the dive loop in which you enter at the top and roll out. (confusing-I know!) Pretzel knots are great but RARE! only a few coasters today have them like B&M's Superman: Ultimate Flights and a few Vekoma Coasters.

This is a pic at the end of Dragon Mountain(Marine Land, Niagra falls,ON), you can see the rest of the ride in the distance.(This coaster is huge!)

This is a very intence manuver

Yes.. Vekoma has made so much great stuff during the years. I believe there has been just a one Prezel Knot loop before the flyers. There's just a one Bowtie and a one Butterfly as well.

I like Inline Twists and Vertical Loops the best (especially the Intamin SLC ones[;)]). My most disliked inversion is the corkscrew, which is why Goudurix and Dragon Khan give me a headache, otherwise being very good coasters.
