Personal Favorite Roller Coaster Element?

Big fan of Riddlers Revenge at Magic Mountain so I would go for Dive loops

I mean, your favorite element of a roller coaster, a.k.a. part of a roller coaster. Do you love barrel rolls, loops, corkscrews, lift hills, etc.

Time to slow down a bit with your posting, it avoids situations like these

Old school B&M zero G rolls and corckscrews. Amazing rotation rate with great laterals.

Dragon Khan second loop. It's really forcefull and it takes you by surprise.

B&M hypers drop. Never ending floater airtime.

Furius Baco inline was cool when it first opened. Now it is crap.

Zero g rolls would be my favorite overall element.
If were talking specific coaster, the list would be very long.

Here are some few.
-Full throtles loop (hangtime!), and its dive loop going backwards.
-Goliath's helix
-X2's first raven
-Tastu's pretzel
-Revolution's build up to the loop, and loop.
-Viper's turn after the first loop, as it goes into the 2nd, the train speeds up!
-Any woddies station pass!
-Scream's S turn, feels like the train's doing a ninja kick or something
-Batman's final brakes (in the rain!)
-Any hard launch
-Silver Bullet's little drop/overbanked hill before the final corkscrew.
-Everything after Millennium force's 2nd tunnel (talk about finishing strong.)
-Mavrick's lift and 1st drop

-Powerful hydraulic launches. Stormrunner is not that fast, but the acceleration rate makes up for that. Kingda Ka though, is out of the stratosphere, and the launch is absolutely fantastic, even if it is considered one trick pony.

-B&M airtime hills. I love how graceful they all look and you get fantastic floater on them

-El Toro's airtime hills. It's no surprise that they basically staple you into your seat; the drop is great, and the airtime is outrageous. The most intense part as someone said before me is the last airtime hill right before the S-curves- It feels like if there wasnt a restraint you would fly straight to the Golden Kingdom . I agree on the -1.8 g's measurement previously mentioned

-Intimidator 305's drop/turn. Seriously the best and most underrated drop I've ever experienced. The cable lift practically launches you over the crest down the 85 degree drop. Awesome stuff. I also love the intense sustained positive g's in the first turn, and like most people I fell victim to it and blacked out, and it was on the redesigned version. It's one of the 3 rides that have made me do this. The whole ride in general is like this, extreme positives for sustained periods and that's why it's my favorite ride.

- B&M Zero G Rolls. Really pretty looking element and I like the flow of them too.

-Fury 325's wierd sideways-crest turnaround- I haven't been on the ride, and I likely won't ride it for a long time, but from what I've seen in the renderings and photos, it's a majestic and graceful looking element that has a great flow to it. I also love the transition from the overbank before it to the actual turnaround. It has this great continuous flow to it

That's all I can think of right now, I will update If I think of anything else.

Well, I did mean overall, but I guess some elements feel special on a certain rollercoaster.

Thanks for that list!

How the hell did I forget dive loops?

I'm going to correct myself, my favorite Element now is specifically Thunderbird's Zero-G roll. Holy poop.

I can't wait to get Thunderpounded up the butt by T-bird in 11 days

You're gonna love it. I'm excited to go back this weekend.

For some reason B&M Immelmanns/Dive Loops are really good to me. Examples would be Montu and Bizarro. I also have a soft spot for insane Zero-G-Rolls like the one on Kraken or Hulk.

Generally my favorite element is backward-traveling loops. Love the forces in the last row on boomerang coasters through the vertical loops <3


My single favorite element of all tiome I think is Montu's Batwing. That snap tho \o/

The launch on Top Thrill Dragster is my new favorite coaster element. It is just an intense and breathtaking experience that will be hard to top.

I always love the exact 0g on top of a vertical loop!
