Standup elements?

Are there some elements that standups cant do? And if so why not?

I doubt they could do one of Anton Schwarzkopf's demented "Circle" loops that pull 7gs. Unless of course you want all the blood in your body rushing to your legs within a minute.

If you get into a standup in a good position it is a great ride, if not you'll feel lots of pain. ( especialy if your a guy )

There is no such thing as a loop that pulls 7gs. Well, I guess Mindbender comes pretty darn close(6.5) which rounds up to 7.

I believe that stand ups can do pretty much anything. On the flip side, I think that an inclined loop can pretty much only be done on a stand up.

Anton tried to develope a figure 8 loop. It would be like a regular loop but at the top it would turn a round do a loop then twist a go back, It was too intense for the human body.

I think a zero-g-roll would be something that the stand-up could not do also a vertical drop 90degrees

Not at this moment they can't. No stand-up roller coaster at this point has a cobra roll element? Reason why? The snapping motions of the cobra roll element would cause too much stress on the tall trains and would probably end up in damage in the long run. There is only one stand-up coaster with a zero G heartline barrel roll, that would be [b]Cobra[/b] at La Ronde. And even that ride's train only consists of about 5 rows in contrast to B&M's usual 8 rows. Cobra is an Intamin AG stand-up that is equal in size to The Georgia Scorcher.
