I haven't been on an upside-down coaster... which ones are smooth?

People could be more helpful if we had an idea where you were located, and how far you're able/willing to travel, CoastersAreFun.

One word: SheiKra

Making what Gonch said a bit more specific I'll say "any green Arrow."

Find a green Arrow that goes upside down (all green, none of this two-tone stuff) and you'll be fine.

T2 at SFKK is the smoothest looping coaster I have ever been on. It isn't rough or anything.

You need to go ride some other roller coasters that aren't at SFKK, and then you'll realize how much T2 is a POS.

I'm thinking that was sarcasm. T2 is the 2nd most painful coaster I've ever ridden. The most painful was so painful that I can't even remember which one it was.

Yea, that was sarcasm. Maybe I should have put a little winking smile next to my post. As far as an actual good coaster you can ride, it would help if we knew the area of the nation you live in. Like I think Greezed Lightnin' wouldn't be too bad for a first looper, but if you live in, say, Florida, well it doesn't really help to suggest a coaster that's in Kentucky.

Medusa is smooth and no coaster is scarey. What park are you planning on going too Coastersarefun?

i plan on going to Six Flags Great Adventure later this month.

You should definitely plan on riding Medusa, Batman: The Ride, Chiller, and Superman. All are smooth inverting coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure.

i plan on going to Six Flags Great Adventure or any other amusement around NY..like Dorney Park, Kennywood,etc.

I have a serious question, Coastersarefun. Are you going to Great Adventure any time this year? ;)

SFNE freak, are u sure the Chiller is a smooth ride?..it seems very rough.

yea i am, later this month. why?

Even if it is just a little rough. Who cares!! It still looks awesome. Any launch coaster is amazing I think.

O, and I think Dex was being sarcastic. He even had the symbol = ;)

lol oh ok..i didn't noticed it.

Just ride all of them...it won't kill you. ;)

When I went on my first 'looper' (Hulk, I thought it was a good starting point), I went into the car put the OTSR down and thought in my mind, "oh crap, the restraint is down, and I can't pull it up." I then rode the thing and it was great. You have to remember there is nothing to be afraid of - seriously you are not going to die riding a coaster. While I have been on T2 and admit it was quite painful, certain parts of it were almost fun. You also have to keep in mind that you're not gonna be on the ride for more than 3 minutes - so 3 minutes of fear for potentially 3 minutes of fun? Sounds good to me.

Acually my first loop was pretty great. Granted it was raptor wich IMHO has the smoothest inverted loops i've ever been on. I was 11 and i had just been tall enough and i remember sitting in the front(my dad made me) and thinking OMG i'm gonna die.But when i got right into that virtical loop i was,for the first time,completly content.i cared about nothing and thought of nothing. complete bliss.Woa, did i just have a flash back?so sorry but i really think the B&M inverts are the greatest inversions i've personnally been on.So if you can, get your self to Cedar Point whenever you can and ride Raptor. You will be suprised at what a B&M can do for your happieness meter when your feeling down(no pun intended).

well thanks for helping me out everybody..when i do get on my first upside down coaster...i'll make sure to post the whole 'adventure' on coasterbuzz!... and ya can still help me out ok.

My first looper was SOB. I figured since that it only has one loop, it won't be so bad if I don't like it. During the wait and even on the ride before the loop, i was nervous. On the long straight-away before the loop I was thinking "Ohh, here it comes." After coming out of the loop, I was thinking "Wow, this coaster is really rough," completely forgeting about the loop. So loops aren't really all that bad.
