Favorite inversion!
After just returning from Florida yesterday, I would say my most recent favorite is Kraken's zero-g. Sitting toward the back produced more weightlessness than on any other zero-g roll I have been through. Kumba's was cool too, but I liked Kraken's better.
I also liked the Immelmans on both Montu and Fire Dragon, very cool feeling they produced. Before this week I would have said the dive loop on Mantis, but since Orlando is so fresh in my mind, definitely the roll on Kraken is my fav.

Tallest loop in the US is SFMM's "Viper" at 140ft. My favorite is the loop on Revolution due to it's being more like a perfect circle than most loops. That and it has the best lead into the loop anywhere.

bkf's loop is the tallest...... 138ft. viper's is highest up, but how big is the actual eye the loop? viper's loop could probably fit in bkf's loop like 5times

to say viper is the biggest loop is like saying Im the tallest person in the world if i stand no top of a skyscraper.

Actually, I have another inversion to volunteer: The "tophat" on the Batman side of Chiller (at Six Flags Great Adventure). That's my current #2 inversion, behind BKF's loop.

What is the first inversion on The Great Nor'Easter called???
The inverted BTR's in-line twist and the dive loop on Riddler's makes me black out, and the 540 helix on Goliath

Although I have not been on it, the inversion on the Mr. Freeze coasters looks pretty intense. Comments from those who have ridden???

Yeah Revolutionary! I didn't know why but for some reason I really loved the loop on Revolution. I just think it's sweet.

Chris,
Speaking of blacking out, that reminds me of something... While I have never "blacked out" in my life (to my knowledge), the closest I have probably come to this is while riding backseat on the Shock Wave at SFoT. I like the light headed or high feeling I get after finishing the double loops. The feeling only occurs after the train crests the hill directly after the loops. This feeling only lasts for 3-5 seconds, but is the reason I keep ridding this Schwarzkauf over and over and over.
Also, my girlfriend says she sees black spots at the same point during the ride.
Has anyone else experienced this sensation on Shockwave at SFoT?

Hey backseat I get the same feeling on the Laser at Dorney. After that second loop my vision gets a little fuzzy then by the time I make the turn thru the second loop my vision is finally getting back to normal but still feel a bit on the dizzy side. By the end of the ride i'm back to normal.
I could only imangine what Mind Bender in Alberta, Canada would do to me! Some people don't remember the last half of the ride! Gotta love Schwarzkopf's loops! :)

The Raptor's Cobra Roll is very impressive I also like Mantis' diving loop, but two of the most underrated inversions would have to be the two corkscrews on Kumba at BGT, they give a good sensation, and Kumba is one of the most underrated coasters, in my opinion it is far better than Montu, which i think is highly overrated.
You know, I forgot to mention the rolls on Volcano. It's odd how they seem to float you around. Fabulous ride!

Coasterpunk,
Dorney was one of the parks I missed while up that way. I will keep Laser in mind when I return some day. Always glad to see a Schwarzkauf fan.

The most intense I've ever ridden is Montu's batwing. Also the entry into the first vertical loop (the 4th inversion) on the Hulk is VERY intense. Major black-out but very enjoyable.
I love the batwing on Paramounts Carowinds Top Gun: The Jet Coaster. You go under in the walkway near the back entrance and get sprayed with mist. PC is my homepark, so it just isnt as good anymore :( Oh well, its still great.
My second favorite inversion is probably the big loop on Mantis. Because of the trims coming down the drop, you feel some good "hang time" at the top of that huge loop.

Yeah Baby!!!
