I don't like vertical loops very much, they're really boring IMO

BTW, which standup has a zero-g roll? I never heard of one that does.

I vote for corkscrews... Arrow, Vekoma, and even B&M can't seem to make them smooth. Did I mention Arrow and Vekoma corkscrews are PAINFUL!!!!!?

Well, actually, B&M makes them very smooth. Raptor doesnt have very smooth corks and Mantis's cork has headbanging, but the B&Ms at CP are very poor quality. Medusa at SFGAdv's corks are extrememly smooth, there is no headbanging at all, and the B:TR coasters have pretty smooth corks also.

Shockwave is an Intamin coaster... I didn't include Intamin on the list of non-smooth corkscrews. They are the only company that has a 100% smooth cork record.

Mine would have to be the last two corkscrews in a row on the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure cause the restraints dot hold u in at all and theyre very, very rough.
