Coasters: That have the Figure (8)?

Which coasters have the #8 or figure eight in them. So far the ones I can think of are: Wild Thing, Raging Bull: Great America, Millennium Force possibly. Are there any other coasters that have the #8 in them?

Xcelerator, the ultimate figure 8!

The Deja-Vu's almost does.

Cyclops at Big Chiefs kind of does the figure 8.

Both Little Dipper coasters (PTC junior woodies) at Kiddieland and Hillcrest Park do.

Swamp Fox is a Figure 8 coaster, so I woud assume it has one, also does Thunderbolt at SFNE.

I'll say it again for Outkast..XCELERATOR...the most obvious and wicked figure 8 of all.
Viper, Texas Tornado and the Texas Cyclone at SFAW have a figure 8, in fact most of the coasters at AW have a figure 8

Iron Wolf ends in a figure 8 after the corkscrew. As Chitown said, Cyclops sort of has a figure 8 layout, just a dementedly insane one.

-----------------
Whats more reliable? Deja Vu, or RCT running without a error trapper?

I think the only one I know not mentioned is the now defunct Crystal Beach Cyclone
If you look at it from the air, the Racer at Kennywood looks like an 8.

There's nothing like a woodie...

Wow, I surprised no one's said Grizzly at PKD, in fact it's a double Figure-8!
Thunderbolt(SFNE) and Flyer Comet(Whalom Park).
In the truest sense of the figure 8 coasters, Leap the Dips would have to be the most obvious choice. Back in the day many side friction coasters were built in figure eight patterns and seeing as how Leap the Dips is the only one remaining it has to be a shoe in for this discussion. While there are also several woodies that will also fit the description I don't think that any modern steel coasters can be counted as figure 8 coasters. Now as some have mentioned, some steel coasters have small sections of their layouts that do a figure 8 pattern. But I can't recall many that actually follow the pattern for their entire layout. Maybe some of Anton's creations and some kiddie/family rides, but that's about it.
