Upside down rides

What does it feel like to go upside down?? I have never been on a upside down ride before.

On small loops yo fell a lot of g forces

On big one it just feels like your going up a very steeep long hill

corcscrews and barrel rolls spin you on your side which can get you dizzy.

What are small loops?

I think he's referring to Arrow megalooper style loops, very small and compact, versus B&M loops which may be the diameter of 70 to over 100 ft.

"I want to go on something more exciting than X"

shrek man, No real way of explaining, you just have to go give em a try, Each and every coaster inversion is different than the next, though some may be similar.

I've traded in my 2000 Giovanola for a 2002 Arrow X4D :)
My other car is now an Arrow X4D!

Good luck getting a looper in this year shrek man.

I was told it felt like flying and it did.but the best way to turly find out is try it for yourself. On small loops such as on a arrow looper like Viper at Sixflags Magic Mountain it feels like your go up a hill like someone else said and your suddenly slowing down and then ending up going down a steep hill. But i have to say when your looping its so scary for the first time becuase if your sitting tord the back of the train all you see is everything fliping over you! But its a great feeling and on Bigger loops such on a B&m coaster you cant even tell ur upside! just feels like your flying and that the world has suddenly stoped. And in other inversions one can see so many perspectives of there ride.... The best inversions i feel to go trou are barrel rolls becuase you come real close to the ride structure then you just miss it.

Just like hills and turns they are all different.  I've been through loops that you wouldn't know were there if your eyes were closed.  In contrast, Batwing has this wonderful feeling like you are dropping at the top of the loop that I just love.  And of course, there are many other types of inversions.

I may try one this summer. Should it be a thrill ride or a rollercoaster?

dude, what's ur home park? going upside down is a wonderful feeling. there's no way to expain it, just get on one sometime this year.

i would get on a roller coaster. at first, i would get on the coaster with the least inversions, and build up to bigger rides. this is what i did, exectpt my park didn't have any single loopers, so i rode my mind bender. i'll never forget how nervous is was beforehand and how happy i was afterwards.

My home park is about 90 to 100 mins away and they are Disneyland and knott's berry farm.

Those parks are very close to Magic Mountain, so why don't you go there and Xperience the Xtreme!

"The Peoples Elbow" or "The Spinaroonie?. Cant decide which is the most electrifying move in sports entertainment!!! LOL

I don't think X is necessarily what I'd call "easing into it", LOL.  Perhaps start with something a little less "intense", and work your way up...

Witch one are not intense??

My 1st loopers were The Corkscrew & Montezooma's Revenge @ Knott's.  The Corkscrew is gone now, but Montezooma's would be a great 1st loop!  It's intense, but you could get rid of a lot of fears in one trip.  I wouldn't ride in the back the 1st time, since on the back spike you get this awesome sensation of falling out of the ride.  I actually remember that 1st ride on MR, and the g's were so forceful in the loop, I ended up staring at the floor of the coaster car since I was so small!  I think I was about 9 yrs old.  Loops aren't really a big deal at all, but I wouldn't brave X until you've done some of the "easier" ride first.  Definately try a woodie in the back row too!  Nothing like being pulled over that 1st drop!

Does Montezooma's Revenge have a lapbar??????? I wiil be going to Silver Dollar City or six flags st. louis but withch coaster sould I ride with a loop?
