May 30, 200917 yr What should be another interesting poll, which Kings Island coaster has your favorite inversion? For newbies who do not know, an inversion is anything that goes upside down, aka a loop or corkscrew. This IS NOT A BEST COASTER WITH AN INVERSION POLL. This is strictly among which coaster had the best one/s...ala, if you think SOB sucked but still had the best inversion, vote for it. Just an example. I have never rode Invertigo, King Cobra, Demon, Firehawk, or SOB w/loop so I had to choose between Vortex and Flight of Fear. I voted FOF because I loved the final corkscrew in that ride, and how the ride seemed to be over and then WHAM! All in total darkness... Thanks! Comments welcome.
May 30, 200917 yr Author I like Invertigo's cobra roll the most. Then vote for it...I still see a "0" in the votes for Invertigo poll!
May 30, 200917 yr Author So, it would seem that this awesome loop is the reason Firehawk has such long lines... ...or it is just that bad on capacity.
May 30, 200917 yr I voted for Firehawk because the loop as some great force, and I like looking straight up then straight down. It's pretty sweet.
May 30, 200917 yr most all voted for FH, I don't like the ride. And I can't seem to make my mind up, maybe FOF, or maybe Faceoff. Can't decide , will vote later....
May 31, 200917 yr I loved the loop on King Cobra - the feeling coming down the hill into the loop and then the loop compression while in a stand-up position was incredible. Of the current, I'd have to go with Firehawk - so unique.
June 1, 200917 yr This one's hard for me but I went with SOB's loop. A close second would be Flight of Fear's final corkscrew, followed by King Cobra's loop.
June 1, 200917 yr This one's hard for me but I went with SOB's loop. A close second would be Flight of Fear's final corkscrew, followed by King Cobra's loop. I went with SOB's loop as well that just seemed so incredible and the height of it was outstanding, at least from my perspective it was. I still have a picture of it from the Eiffel Tower, that was kind of massive IMO.
June 1, 200917 yr Yes, it was massive...118 feet tall, nearly 12 stories! Many towns in America don't have even a single building that tall!
June 1, 200917 yr that is funny you mention that because the building i work in is 12 stories tall. The first time we rode that, I told my wife that loop is as tall as my office building, her face just lost all color.
June 1, 200917 yr ^ That's a great stroy. This one is tough. Firehawk's loop is great. Vortex's cobra roll is/was pretty innovative and still fun. I went with the first half of FOF's cobra roll though. It's just a fun twist on a familiar element. After the launch and the long tunnel, you rocket upward then turn... I still get a bit disoriented. It's great. I also love that corkscrew at the end.
June 1, 200917 yr ^Vortex doesn't have a cobra roll. Rather, a pretzel loop. This was a tough call. For me it's either FoF's corkscrew, because that caught me completely off guard the first time I rode it and I absolutely love it to this day, or KC's loop. I ended up going with King Cobra just because I want it back.
June 4, 200917 yr Firehawk ride ops need to speed up the dispatch time . its like they dont even care
June 4, 200917 yr can I change my vote to Skylab?! May that disfunctional circular heap rest in peace.
June 4, 200917 yr I voted Son of Beast. Son of Beast's loop was HUGE and the lap bars made it so AWESOME!
June 4, 200917 yr I voted for Firehawks loop I love how you can see the front row upside down when your riding in the last row, first encountered this when it was X-Flight.
June 4, 200917 yr Last Corkscrew on FOF when the MCBR is off... which is never these days... soso sad

June 4, 200917 yr Invertigo's loop. That thing pulls some serious g's! Vortex's double loop is a close second. I always gray out in it.
June 4, 200917 yr The only loops I have experienced are Vortex's, King Cobras's - 1x and I do not remember it well, and the Screamon Demon's. I voted for the Demon's because 1) it was my first, and 2) My memory of it is of a massive loop that was really intense.
