McSalsa Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 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.

JAHill Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Firehawk's loop is my favorite. I don't know why, it just is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom76257 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I like Invertigo's cobra roll the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I like Invertigo's cobra roll the most. Then vote for it...I still see a "0" in the votes for Invertigo poll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy15 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Firehawk's loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfreak Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I like Firehawk's loop too. I guess it is the forces at the bottom of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 So, it would seem that this awesome loop is the reason Firehawk has such long lines... ...or it is just that bad on capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotag Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 i went with Invertigo, i wouldve went with king cobra but cant remeber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFreak Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I love how you can look straight down on Firehawks loop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I love the lie to flies on Firehawk, and it's loop has to be the most forceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I voted for Firehawk because the loop as some great force, and I like looking straight up then straight down. It's pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_heart_pki Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 For me it's that first inversion on Flight of Fear. Gets me everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperg Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor75 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yes, it was massive...118 feet tall, nearly 12 stories! Many towns in America don't have even a single building that tall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor75 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 ^ 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 ^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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popwar Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Firehawk ride ops need to speed up the dispatch time . its like they dont even care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 can I change my vote to Skylab?! May that disfunctional circular heap rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCryptRaider Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I voted Son of Beast. Son of Beast's loop was HUGE and the lap bars made it so AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast79 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I didn't ride Son of Beast with the loop. My vote goes to Firehawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Last Corkscrew on FOF when the MCBR is off... which is never these days... soso sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor66 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Invertigo's loop. That thing pulls some serious g's! Vortex's double loop is a close second. I always gray out in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 King Cobra's loop obviously....though I do like the batwing on Vortex as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auge.dog Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
