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.
-
I concur...
-
And...my favorite of all...
El Toro's Rolling Thunder hill. Doesn't even disappoint when cold!
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.

Tunnels

Flames

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 :)

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.
-
Ive never heard pf el toro being mild.
-
ive rode el toro all times of the day and never had any weakness on the rt. hill
-
I'm going to add .... First Drop !
-
Oh ya^ Nitro and El Toro's first drop is amazing.
-
Yeah, especially el toros
-
1.FLAMES
2.COBRA ROLLS
3.CABLE LIFTS (EL TORO)
4.HELIX
5.LOOP.
-
The ejector hill
Kennywood Jackrabbit's double down
Voyage's triple down
SFNE Cyclone's first drop
-
i love cobra rolls and el toros lift!
-
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.;D 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.;)
-
Behemoth's drop (back seat wings)
El toro's ending
Phoenix Everything
RF2 Drop, and well pretty much everthing
Storm Runners launch and 0-G Rolls
-
Loops
Big drops
hammerhead turns
Cobra rolls
ect ect
-
^what kind of loop? There are tons of them.
-
I think just any loop in general. but some do exert different forces on your body. just cant beat that norwegian loop!
-
Speed Monster has the best one. I've never been on it but it looks so sweet with the escalators going through it
-
Anton made the best loops. :)
-
Are they out of business?
