Dvo Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 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. Vortex doesn't have a pretzel loop either... It has two loops, Double Corkscrew, and a Batwing/Boomerang. Whoops. They used to refer to the Batwing as a pretzel loop due to its resemblance from a side view. I guess that died quickly when flying coasters came about and there was a better use for that term. Quote
jonnyvelvet Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 The forces in Firehawks loop make it one of the best in the park!! I love the last inversion on FOF! The illusion of speed into the inversion makes it a classic!! Quote
cassie_KY Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Voted for FOF. Agree with the earlier post about right at the beginning and the corkscrew at the end. Still gets my heart going! Quote
TopThrill Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 SOB's loop, it was so perfect and smooth, wish I could say the rest of ride was like that. Quote
Jasper Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 In my opinion, Firehawk has got the best inversion in it's Vertical Loop. If you are with a friend I suggest that you split up and one get in the very front and one in the very back and when you go through the loop look up and there you will see your friend. Plus the forces you experience going through the loop are one of a kind. Quote

RailRider Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Loop on SoB was amazing. The entire ride is so fast, violent and loud; then you hit the loop and it is completely smooth and fast a moment of pure grace. The loop was the Ying to SoB's Yang or something like that. Just an amazing element that made SoB such a unique coaster, now it is more eunuch than unique. Quote
06jds377 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Vortex Batwing/Boomerang/dive loop to Immelmann whatever you want to call it Quote
KI Kevin Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 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. the second one. and you havent ridden Firehawk or Invertigo? You should definitely ride Firehawk. It's fun. However, I don't really find Invertigo to be that fun. It's actually kinda lame since it's over so quick. And yes I do like Drop Tower, but that's a different story. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I can think of many words to describe Invertigo. Lame is not one of them. It pulls intense positive g's...so much so that many of my friends sit it out... Quote

BavarianBeatle Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I voted for Screamin Demon because of the backwards loop, which, in its day, was quite an experience for a kid like me!!! Quote
TheCryptRaider Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I love those Three Loops on Diamondback... One kid in line for Diamondback said it went upside down 100 times. Quote
