Which element on a ride is your favorite? Any element from past, present, or future can be shared.

My favorite element is either Firehawk's loop or Vortex's Boomerang/Batwing at the end of the ride.

Currently it's Firehawk's loop, but in the future I can see it being the zero g on Banshee because I'm a sucker for those.

Coaster: S-B in FoF

Flat: Hang effect on Deli.

Slide: Open up on Rendezvous Run

Firehawk's loop for sure.

Inverdgo's Cobra roll. Im sure mine will also become either Banshee's dive loop or zero g roll.

The Beast's epic final helix. Especially at Night...

(You didn't say it had to be an inversion)

Also, I think this might belong in polls...not 100% sure though.

As mentioned by McSalsa, I must also say that my favorite ride element at Kings Island is The Beast's final helix through the tunnel. There has never been an element of a roller coaster that has thrilled me more than the final helix of The Beast, there's just something about it that I have always loved.

The part on WindSeeker where it goes around the tower!

All kidding aside, I love the Diamondback turn-around point "hammerhead" thing. I always lean in during that part.

My favorite element is the first drop on Diamondback from the front seat. From the first time I rode there, I said it was the best seat in the park.

I second this notion.

Vortex's second loop. In a close second was Flight Deck's near-miss with Son of Beast.

I love Firehawk's loop, but just wish I could experience it more often.

Dip in between hill 5 and the turnaround on The Racer.

Firehawk's loop, Vortex's first drop, The Beast's double helix, and the corkscrew on Flight of Fear.

Sit in the right seat there and you get a good pop of airtime.

AE back seat. Most intense seat in the park.

Beast helix or first dive into the ravine after 1st lift hill

Vortex first drop

Racer Airtime

2nd hill of Diamondback.

FoF launch, The Beast helix and the SOB near miss on The Bat.

The Beast's helix, particularly at night as mentioned, would be my favorite but the corkscrew on FoF is a close second. Honorable mention to the over bank turn on BLSC.

I can't really narrow down a single element, so I'll give a list...

Backlot- the series of s-curves after the helix

Beast- the helix for sure, but an element I like better is those series of drops after the 2nd tunnel before rising up to the 2nd lift

Firehawk- the overbanked turn, the loop, the double roll, and the helix

Bat - that 2nd hill over the station

Flight of Fear- the launch and the final corkscrew, especially how the 2nd half builds up to it

Son of Beast- first drop, the loop and the top of the 2nd hill (with the original trains)

Vortex- each of the inversion has something special to me- the loops have nice positive g's and are simple, the corkscrews have nice hang time, and the batwing is just awesomely placed, that 2nd hill also has a nice jolt of air in the front seat, the first drop is great in the back

King Cobra- the loop and the helix which felt nearly horizontal with the banking

Those two turns into the "staircase" bit on Backlot Stunt Coaster. Also the "underground" portion.

Beast's double helix.

Firehawk's loop.

The turn over the pre-lift portion of Adventure Express.

The Bat's brake run, when seated in the front car.

Flight of Fear's cobra roll, especially when seated in the last car.

The more time that goes by, the more I kinda-sorta miss Son of Beast's pre-lift portion. It was nothing special, but it was always a little unnerving to new-to-roller-coasters me how that first drop/turn out of the station was WAY over banked. (Not that I think it was unintentional or something; you would just practically lay on your side going through that turn.) I don't know if I would feel similarly now that I've been on rides like Voyage or Ravine Flyer II; I just know I haven't experienced that kind of hang time on a wooden coaster since.

Beast 2nd hill drop into those helix's still some of the best ride time in this great nation:

King Cobra's trick track, it was so pointless it made me laugh every time I rode it

^ What specifically is a "trick track"? I've heard that term several times on here and have never figured it out.

It's a piece of track that is banked for no significant reason.

Son of Beast's loop

The Beast's helix, Vortex batwing, FoF takeoff, Firehawk first lie to fly element

The loop closest to the "observation area" on Vortex.

Vortex's bat wing, Beast's double helix, FoF's last corkscrew, Firehawk's first lie to fly, AE's second lift, Diamondback's splashdown and Racer Red's hill into the turn around.
