Are Inclined Loops Technically Inversions?

Many people claim that Inclined Loops are Inversions, but some people agree and some people disagree. I wouldn't personally class it as an inversion, it's more of a steep helix, but what do you think? :--D :--D :--D

I guess it depends on the angle of the incline, presumably anything less than 45° (from horizontal) is an inclined helix rather than an inclined loop, right?
Don't think I've experienced many - Swarm, Riddler and Green Lantern are the only ones I can think of - and to be honest none of them felt like true inversions.

Yes, inclined loops, such as those on B&Ms, count.

Every time the diagram has to be whipped out in an awkward situation like this, a puppy drops dead and a Larson loop is marketed as a coaster.

I was quite sure the inverting zone is 135-225.. seems like I was wrong

Can't argue with anything presented on a yellow background ;)

Well, I think that the whole inconsistency of where Cedar Fair puts the Roller Coasters in there own separate category is really annoying.
