My vote goes to either Steel Force at Dorney or the first helix on S:ROS at SFA. I will agree with a previous comment about Raptor also.

Even though I didn't really like Goliath all that much, I would have to agree that the helix is the best out there that I have experienced.

If you get a really heavy train, and sit in the back on Raptor, it's helix is pretty extreme, but I've always heard that Goliath's is beyond compare.

That's a tough one, out of the coasters I have ridden, I love Shivering Timbers, the Beast, and Sonny's awesome inclined helixes of doom.

I haven't been on Goliath, so I'll have to say the SOB, and the Beast.

Most intense helix? STEEL PHANTOM!!! (That's why it's not there anymore, of course.)

I think you need to define "intense".
Intense=high G's?
Intense=most fun?
Intense=most exhilarating?
Intense=fastest?
I think hands-down the "best" helix is The Beast.

Honestly, I've not been on a coaster that really spooks me with intensity - whether it's high G-forces or whatever. There are wonderfully exciting rides, that's how I define intense. The only coaster I've been on that really qualifies as having a helix is Raptor, and while it's impressive, not that heavy.

The Beast's helix, to me, is mind-numbing.
Raptor is somewhat intense.
Batman Knight Flight's ending helix, depending on where you sit, can be a little intense.

Well, since things got pretty "gray" for me while sitting in the last row, I'd have to Raptor. The Beast is also quite invigorating.

The Beast's final helix is the best out there by far in my opinion. It's the only ride element that's made me really scared that the train was going to fly off the track. SoB's helix is also good for speed and G's, but nothing like that of the Beast.

Why can't I remember a helix on Raptor? Must've not been very intense.

Beast, hands down (or hands up, if you can). No other has come close. Distant second is Raptor, then Goliath.
