Best interlocking corkscrews

By apperance alone I'd say Batman Dark Knight has the most intense looking pair of flat spins but as for what i've ridden i'd say Batman Knight Flight. what coaster's interlocking flat spins are the most wild?

Agreed RIFT...BUT, it all depends on what kind of rolling stocky you're on - whether it's a conventional style seating like on Kumba, or the floor-less seating on let's say Medusa, it makes all the difference. I think the floor-less coasters may have an enhanced interlocking corkscrew elements, but I think Batman The Dark Knight may have the win. The coaches enter the element at a very rapid fire pace and it looks quite intense.

wow, i thot kumba and batman kf were drastically different, and the corkscrew section of dark knight looks like an RCT coaster, but i guess i'm wrong, they're all the same.

Another little point. If you don't like a thread, don't reply to it. There is certainly nothing wrong with this one. It's in the right place and asks a legit question.

The best to me look like B:TDK. They look very intense and are taken at a high speed which is why those are probably the best interlocking corkscrews.

I don't know if there really is a difference but I seem to remember Kumba's beeing more intense thatn Medusa. I guess the older they are the more intense they are but I like the smoothness of the newer ones like medusa and B:KF

I have to go with Kumba because it just seems that when your on the decending parts of the corkscrew you actually can feel a greater amount of G forces almost as though the weight of the train pull you down faster. It just seems they go in wide and then they sharply cut down which provide the best adrendaline.
