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! :lol: All in total darkness...

Thanks! Comments welcome.

So, it would seem that this awesome loop is the reason Firehawk has such long lines...

...or it is just that bad on capacity. :angry:

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 :wacko: , will vote later....

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

^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. :P

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.

Vortex doesn't have a pretzel loop either... It has two loops, Double Corkscrew, and a Batwing/Boomerang.

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.
