The tallest inversion is the loop on Viper standing 144 feet. They dont count Volcanos top as tallest because its not that high above the volcano which is counted as "gound".


Ha! Where did you get that information? Its a facade, its not counted as ground. Do the footers attach to the mountain? I highly doubt that.
Thank you. Geesh. [blah]

Dive loops are gorgeous to look at I think, but for pure just greatness, the zero g roll on Nemesis, with what seems to be about 3 g's [lol]

Yea, thats not what I call a "Zero G Roll". That ride, along with the Batman: The Ride clones have what I like to deem the "Speed Roll"

It takes it with such speed you CANT get zero g's. If you do, its for a split second but you rotate so fast and go through it so fast, you never achieve that weightless feeling. Kind of sucks, but, its also a good thing too. I still prefer the floater though.

Real -- thinking about Hydra ... I suppose that roll out of the station is far too slow for any real zero g's, eh?

I would assume so. Its alot more hangtime than it is airtime.

I will know exactly how it feels on Friday though. :)

the 0 g roll, followed by the loop. I've always wanted to try out a B&M immel man, but the Vokema SLC immelman did nothing for me.

i like the "Reversed Loop" on Superman, Ultimate Flight @ SF Great America, Chicago where you start up high and dive toword the ground and fly back up. like an upsidedown loop thing. but ive never been on it..... But i'd have to give the nod toword the perfect Zero G Roll on Raptor @ CP. i absolutely LOVE those 2 seconds of the ride.

After riding Storm Runner yesterday I have to change my vote to the Flying Snake Dive.

I like the diving loop because it is pretty intense. [;)]

The barrel roll/flying snake dive on Storm Runner is awesome, as well as the airtime just before it.

Mine would have to be 1. A B&M Cobra roll on any of their coasters, and a B&M Zero-G, again on any of their coasters.

I guess Schwarzkop loops because they pull G's, and lots of 'em. I also favor Hydra's Jo Jo Roll for the upside down feeling you don't really get on other inversions, and Storm Runner's Flying Snake Dive because it is so unique.
