Most Intense Loop

Mantis' loop isn't really intense (especially not when the trims are on), but it is really really fun.

What makes the SoB's loop intense is that you are actually able to see strait on that particular part of the ride. The rest of the ride is a headache/blur.

Knott's Berry Farm's former Windjammer Surf Racers. Anybody who has ridden that thing will know what I'm talking about. I mean, they send a two-car train at 40 miles-per-hour through tiny 20-25 foot-high loops with a diameter barely 15 feet wide. THAT is what I call intense. Ridiculously intense. Head/neck snappage is at its maximum.

the loop on tennessee tornado at dollywood is crazy...

Adding on to what some have said about Lazer, I think Scorpion's loop is very intense, being a Schwarzy and all. The g's are crazy coming out of the dive into the loop and then it throws your head back. I don't remeber if those trains have headrests or not but I do remember they don't have OTSRs I mean the cars are so small (they must not grow em as big [or fat] in Europe).

My vote is for X=Flight/Batwing.... Pretty insense in the back seat.

The second loop on the now defunct Shockwave at SFGAm was unbelievably intense.

My vote also goes to X-Flight. Your lunch is definitely instantly digested. And some people ask why you can't take that loop on the outside like an invert. . .

I would have to go with the Schwartzkoph loop. I tried to put my hands on up on Greazed Lightning and got thrown to the side.

On Son of Beast, the loop is the only part of the ride I felt secure enough to put my hands up. Every other second of that ride I was holding on for dear life.

Iron Wolf's loop, that thing hurts so bad...

I am talking about when it had no trims. Fun times

the first loop on desert storm at castles n coasters...in the front seat that sucker feels like it pulls MONSTER g's, its one of the few that FORCES your head down and you have to fight it off, it sucks.

The top hat on the Batman side of the chiller.....whooooweee!! Honorable mention goes to Stealth and Greased Lightning.

i have three that are pretty much right up there....the two loops on Laser at Dorney Park....the second loop on MindBender at SFOG....and the second loop on B:TR at SFGam....all three, well four, lol....are awesome :)

It should be the first loops on the two one-of-a-kind large scale transportable coasters from the age of intense coaster competition on German fairs- decided between the two "dead end" giants "Thriller" and "Olympia Looping".
Thriller is practically a circular loop, Olympia also, with a little twist.
I'm not sure about some Arrow contortions, but I highly doubt they would get as close to 6 g as the loops of those two portable coasters.
The standard Schwarzkopf loop is also rather intense if you compare it to the B&M and Intamin loops.
Thriller/Zonga used to be so badly intense that it was actually (almost) really too bad.

Vekoma Boomerang vertical loop is intense when going backwards. Feels like 4 G´s pulling down.

I think it was Shockwave... blacked/whatever you want to call it out after the third loop (for an instant)- all the vertical loops on Shockwave were intense, just because you went through them so fast. *** Edited 6/13/2004 2:08:14 PM UTC by coasterwiz***

Greesed Lightnin-SFKK. The loop backwards is very intense. I lose my stomach every time.

1*) Schwarzkopf's Flywheel shuttles
1b) other Anton loops
2) S:UF pretzel
3) Vekoma flyer vertical loops
4) B&M standup oblique loops

How in the world have we gone so far without any reference to TOS:TR?
