Favourite Element
I was just curious to know what's everybodys favourite element?:confused:

Above is a list of (main) elements so please vote!

My favourite is a Zero-g roll, the best thing a roller coaster can give you!

i vote for the Batwing.... the diveloop/immelman combo brings out the best for B&M's and on Top Gun the Jet Coaster - the Batwing under the midway at the entrance into the mist tunnel is probably the best designed inversion to fit its surroundings I've ever been on

I vote top hat. On my final xcelerator ride, I got 5 full seconds of airtime going up, over, and back down its top hat.

As far as inversions go, I have a different favorite per manufacturer.

I agree, especially when going backwards on Mr. Freeze. It is a close second though with a zero-g roll, especially like the one on Hulk.

To the person that said a flatspin, it is the same thing as a heartline roll or a zero-g roll.

I picked the batwing. On Montu in the tunnels is the shizznit!

^Actually a flatspin is a B & M corkscrew.

The "flat spin" on Raptor feels and looks different than just a corkscrew. It's more of a corkscrew, inline twist hybrid.
Hence why I said the flatspins on Raptor.

i dont care for inversions so my favorite is the camelback hill. my favorite single element on a coaster is the backwards version of the chiller's 0-g roll. with only the lapbar, it rips you out of your seat.

It's a toss up between the Zero G Roll and the Immelman.

Zero G followed by the Batwing, esp the one on Top Gun that dives under the midway.

No choice for drop, camelback, etc., so I picked zero-g roll, just cause of the Hulk.

I'm all for the pretzel loop. The g's on that element of S:UF are insane.
