Best/Worst rollercoaster Elements

Really sharp drops are great. Like the indoor one and the one after the ICBR on Saw the Ride. I also love bunny hops, and inline twists.

Least fav... Hmm... I guess I would have to say... Turning drops, like on almost all B&M coasters. I find them sooo boring...

Zero-G Roll, on The Hulk <3

Makes me melt just looking at it. I'd say that Corkscrews are over used, I don't care for them too much. Or the Heartline Roll on Colossus.


I agree with you about corkscrews being over used. I don't care for them, especially on B&M inverts. They bash your head against the OTSR's and usually leave you with a headache once you get off the ride.

Worst has to be the short stretched out corkscrews that arent inline enough to be a barrel roll, they are a real headbasher.

Never been a fan of the cobra roll either, never really get a smooth one
