I would say the best turnaround element is the one on my new coaster. Fast smooth and some good g's.

Something simple usually works for me -- preferably a CCI swoop, but anything that gets me back to the station will work.

the topic states for an out and back.

Tough call. Only Out and backs Ive really been on havent been exactly complex. Theres Magnum, with the pretzel turn - fun but not crazy about it.
Then there is Shivering Timbers which has an awesome swoop turn. Villain, same thing only a bit more intense (though it is a double out and back). Then I have Nitro which hammerhead is a very good element.

Its probably a tie for Nitros Hammerhead and ST's swoop turn. Im just a sucker for the swoop turns mostly.

Wait, Alpengeist isnt exactly a out and back. Then my favorite would have to be the helix on Apollos Chariot.

'nuff said.

As for the out and backs that I've been on, Timber Terror's turnaround is by far my favorite.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Voyage's massive turnaround, it looks pretty interesting.

Phantom's Revenge is my favorite Hyper, and my favorite coaster at my Homepark, Kennywood. I love the bankcurve turnaround.

BTW, it's fixed -- so many forums, too little time.

I like Timbor Terror's turn around, the park's brochure gives you a nice picture of it, I don't seem to be able to find a decent on on the internet.

i love that upper turnaround, it goes down with a double down and the airtime is amazing! Too bad there isn't really a good picture from it...

If both of you are on the same computer that will present problems concerning uploads, trust me.

As for Timber Terrors turn around, that was an easy find!
