Favorite element on a steel coaster?

Zero-G rolls are great. I like the Roll of the Cobra. I wish they had more batwings though

Best Coaster: Millennium Force
Worst Coaster: Project Stealth
I like zero-g rolls (Kumba) and batwings(Montu).

What was the element called on the Steel Phantom? A Pretzel?
The element on Steel Phantom is called a boomerang, (half corksecrew-half loop-half loop-half corkscrew).

I like the dive loop on Mantis, and the drop off the turn that is above the station on Mantis. It feels like your going to fall into the water.
It vaires for me. If it's a hyper of giga, my fav part is the drop. If it's a looper....hmmm...i would have to say the barrel roll.
What is the element called on a Vekmoa Boomerang Coaster? Thats a good element. I also like the B&M version of it on the Raptor at Cedar Point.
1) Intamin overbanked turns. Lean as hard as you can toward the ground while riding and KEEP looking down. Ohhhh yeah.

2) Morgan bunny hops -- provided they're not ruined by overbraking. What a sweet float.

3) Any good, tight, nasty helix. Raptor's finale and Iron Wolf's 'hoop around the loop' come to mind. Believe it or not, I even kinda like the 720 on the Cedar Creek Mine Ride.

4) B&M vertical loops, any variety

I think airtime is the best, SFNE's S:ROS has the most airtime which makes it better than any other rolercoaster around


SFNE's SROS IS BETTER THAN MF!
Isnt what separates a Zero G roll from an inline twist the forces? I think a ZG roll only goes to zero gs, not less or more.

I'm 2 for 2 so far!!!
I like inline twists on Montu and the zero-g camelback element on Kumba. Both provide a surprised feel as the element catches you off guard.

I'll say the zero-G roll on a B&M Floorless. It does not feel "zero-G" to me on an inverted.

Coaster Fantom: That is called a "Cobra Roll" by B&M and (big surprise) a "boomerang" by Vekoma.

"X" marks the spot in 2001! *** This post was edited by Soggy on 2/23/2001. ***
Cobra Roll, Zero-G Roll, Immelman, batwing, and finally the corkscrew.
My favorite single element is the Hulk's zero g roll and my favorite type is a cobra roll.
