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 voted immelman. I just love how it disorients you. I prefer them on inverts.

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 like the Camel-back Zero-G roll that they have on floorless coasters

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.
