Pretzel Loop- Superman

Cobra Roll-Bizarro

Zero G Roll

And...my favorite of all...

El Toro's Rolling Thunder hill. Doesn't even disappoint when cold!

el toro's rolling thunder hill is freaking sweet, but id have to say my all time favorite element is either the cobra roll, or inverted tophat

Inverted Top Hat on Chiller. Amazing feeling I won't feel again until I ride Freeze.

Huh? Did you ride it on opening day? NO air! None. Zero. I couldn't believe it. I'd heard it was like that on cold days, but I couldn't imagine it to be true. But it is!

My favorite inversion would be the Zero G Roll on B&M sit-downs/Floorlesses. I wish they would put more than one of these in a layout.

My favorite... hmmm

Xcelerator's Launch, Any hill on Voyage's return run, Top hats on LIM coasters (Chiller, Freeze), Starliners 3rd hill, Zero-G on Medusa... I can think of many more, but those are the ones that stand out the most to me.

I rode toro on Easter Sunday of 07 when it snowed and it was very slow. I even got stuck on the lift hill.

Auger's of Doom

Fjask · « **Reply #12 on:** June 02, 2009, 09:08:25 PM »

I'd go with a good launch, like storm runner or kingda ka.

Nope. That was a very strange day, so I do believe it. The cold I was referring to was those first laps of the day before it starts to warm up and gain some speed. The fact that the two hills before it frame it perfectly with comparatively "tired bucking" on the bull, that hill feels pretty good when weak.

themeparkrider · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:14:04 PM »

yea me too. i dont know why, but I like it.

1. The SideWinder
2. Ejector air
3. cobra roll
4. hammerhead
5. the batwing on gasm (I float in that every time on on the ride!)

-My Fav is the sidewinder. It sounds cool, and if the angle of it is right; you get the best effect of floating while turning.
-El toro hauls on the lift.
-El toro's wrap around is cool. I like to throw my hands to the left on that turn.
-I've been on Apollo's and nitro so many times that I lost the butterfly effect on the first drop. Now it feels like a fifty foot drop to me.
-Nitro's Hammerhead is amazing. When I sit on the right side of the train I lean so far to the right I could see the underside of the train.
-The ejector air on the last drop of Apollo's is great. I go limp and let my body float on that drop. Feet of the floor and everything.

It's the greatest feeling on that ride I get. Other than being hit by objects like hats (I caught 2), change and the occasional goose.
