Zero-g roll, because of the airtime and if the speed is right you can get major airtime.

I think heartline rolls give you more airtime. Like the second heartline on Viper @ SFGAdv, that thing is nuts! Too bad Viper is too painful to fully enjoy! lol

I vote for heartline rolls. Intamin has this down to a science, and TTD has etched this element into my head forever as one sweet manuver. I also like the heartlines on "Volcano: The Blast Coaster" a heck of a lot. 0 g's rule!

Well, the ejector airtime the V:TBC has on it's heartlines are awesome, but also the Arrow corkscrews are great because they have hangtime, LATERALS, AND positives. I voted for Corkscrews [:)]

I don't think you could classify the airtime on V:TBC as ejector. It's more like hangtime. Picture yourself tumbling in a clothes dryer and it's pretty much the same thing. [:P]

Arrow corkscrew all the way! Where else on a steelie do you get air, laterals, and positives all in one element?

Though IF397 has it right about V:TBC's rolls(whatever they are). They wouldn't be near as cool if they were close to the ground, but -being tumbled in a dryer 130 ft in the air sure is something!

does the first drop count??? because that's my favorite part of any ride. I havent been on tons of coaster's mainly because i'm not old enough to drive myself but i like interlocking loops, like the one's on LNM at BGW. The second loop is the best because you get a little of airtime right as you go under the track of the other loop.

I like loops. I don't know why, they are one of the most boring. But I guess on some loops you get that "floaty" feeling and on some intense ones you get slammed into your seat. I also like corkscrews, but sometimes you get your head banged.

Obviously not, this is the topic for Fav inversion, not fav element [:P]

Oh, and I'm going to BGW next weekend so I'll be able to ride Loch Ness Monster [8D]

I like the Zero-G roll on Medusa...when it hits just right, my body seems to be floating while flipping without the banging on the restraints or seats.

For me, it has to be the quad heartline on colossus. It feels cool, how you fall in and out of your seat as you go through it nice and slowly.

P.S What the HELL, is an "immanelion"???[lol]
I take it you mean an Immelmann

Hmm, well, I've never experienced air on any Arrow, Vekoma, or B&M corkscrew, so I don't buy that.

I like the zeroG. Very quick, smooth, and they really give a wonderfully effortless motion. Very nice.
