I think a suspended coaster could pull off the world's largest cobra roll. It would have to exceed 120 mph and sustain 6.4 positive g's. Perhaps BGW will modify the end of the ride so after the second hill which dives down towards the lake, it could pull off the unbelievable inversion!! They could call it Big Bad Wolf's Death Wish.
On a serious note, I personally enjoy the two suspendeds I've ridden (TG and BBW) just fine for what they are. Actually not having inversions doesn't make them any less enjoyable to me. It's just a different style coaster.

Why do we fear Mack trucks, but not Mack Wild Mouse coasters?

There are only three Vekoma suspendeds. The Hanging Coaster at Dream World and Centrifuge at World Expo Park are one in the same (it was relocated from WEP to DW).

You forgot Air Race and Grampus Jet(The original of the four), and Alpenflung, the first suspended coaster(now defunct)

First off, this is a old topic you replyed to - you know that right?
Second, no I did not forget those coasters. There are three Vekoma Suspendeds - Air Race, Grampus Jet and Hanging Coaster. If you look at RCDB.com, at first it *may* look like there are four. However, The Hanging Coaster is the same coaster as Centrifuge - it was relocated (as I stated in the quote you used).
Also, Alpenflung was built by the German Company Messerschmitt - not Vekoma.
