For me it's the zero G roll inside the supports on Steel Vengeance. I believe it's the third one. It feels like it's gonna keep rolling forever and there's an element of handchopper.
Well i never was in america but i think my fav.inversions are 2 and its Zadra zero-g stall its so amazing feeling with lap bars and no supports under you and its really lond and the second its The Smiler sea serpent roll its smooth it pushes you in to seat and then you turn left up and do a dive loop what can be better? (Zadra its inversion 1 and on The Smiler 9 and 10)
Steel Vengeance’s zero g roll is incredibly underrated and extremely powerful! X2’s last raven turn is insanity but Velocicoaster’s Mosasaurus roll is my favorite
As someone who hasn't left Europe, Ride To Hapiness' flying snake dive is my favourite. It already inverts on the way up, and you never touch your seat throughout that entire element. The ride's Jojo roll is my second favourite inversion, especially in the front row. You feel yourself almost sliding out of your seat and it is awesome.
I'll forever love the double corkscrew on Vortex at KI. Into them right after the midcourse. You CRAWL through them. Also, the ending corkscrews on Farenheit. I'm not sure if they're some kind of decreasing radius or not, but the whip coming out of them is excellent. Honorable mention to Alpengeist for having the best Cobra Roll ever made.
Vortexs corkscrews were really good with GREAT hangtime. I miss old Vortex. Im VERY lucky to own a piece of its track rail! RIP Vortex. I'll always miss you. 1987-2019
I love to see the Caroline's representation! Afterburn has 2 of the top 5 inversions at CW, the Batwing and the last corkscrew. I know the batwing is two inversions, but I count it as one element. The other 3 inversions are the CHS JoJo roll, Nighthawk loop, and Flying Cobras cobra roll. The last one is so fast and intense going forwards, but going backward it gives great hangtime to the front and back. FC and NH are 2 most underrated rides I've been on, along with Dragonflier, which I found to be miles better than FCE at Dollywood.
@studio732jrl2 Not to mention that new GCI they've been due for years. Great top 8 when those coasters come, IMO. Maybe Carolina Cyclone could stay around with some new Vekoma trains with vests.
I'm surprised you didn't include the Pretzel Loop on Tatsu, considering how often we've heard you discuss its intensity. Either way, great list. Just found your channel and have really enjoyed every video
Flying Snake Dive on Storm Runner, The Pretzel Loops on all B&M Flyers, the Roll-out on the defunct Volcano, and the batwing on Montu, the Norwegian Loop on Fahrenheit, and the Immelmann on the Great Bear (which is honestly the most underrated Inversion in my opinion. It is absolutely fast and intense), are my personal favorites.
I agree that the stall on Twisted Colossus is my favorite. An underrated element I would've put somewhere on the list is the butterfly roll, in particular the one on Banshee. Honorable mention to the now defunct one on Great American Scream Machine.
Mine has to be the zero G roll on Nemesis, all the blood’s still in your feet after that helix and you’re right into that. I’m not prone to greying out but it gets me 50% of the time.
@studio732jrl2 Funny, it's usually us who feel jealous. I mean seriously, you guys have so many epic coasters and the tallest coasters in the UK is a pretty bad Arrow Hyper. Hell, we have absolutely no "airtime" machines. This is fine 😢
My favorite for sentimental reasons has to be the double loops on the accurately-named Double Loop at Geauga Lake. It was my first inverting coaster and while I'm sure it was all kinds of Arrow janky, it was mind-blowing as a kid, and it's not like there were a lot of other options in 1982. And the first time I was able to ride it was near close when there was nobody in line, so they put us through three times in a row. Next favorite was everything on Raptor, since that gave us something inverting at Cedar Point other than Corkscrew.
Same, that was my first inverting coaster as well. I was so scared of inversions but I finally did that and the confidence went straight to my head and I immediately went to dominator and the rest was history.
Velicocoaster’s 100 ft long zero g stall is my fav. I went in blind and thought the train would whip back (like RMC’s often do), but it completed the roll and I already couldn’t breathe 😂
@@AirtimeThrills Do you think Maverick's heart line roll will ever be re-made? I don't know if a track can handle that much stress; I thought Velocicoaster's Mosasaurus roll was Intamin's second try.
You missed Steel Vengeance's best inversion, the final one. It is the only inversion where half the riders lose track of which way is up. That's what all inversions should do and only one succeeds.
I’d say my favorites are the mosasaurus roll, the zero g roll on mine blower, alpengeist’s cobra roll, and pretzel loops on B&M Flyers. Haven’t ridden anything on the west coast though so I bet the inversions there are insane too
The cutback on Twisted Timbers is so forceful, along with most of that ride. I love it. And Pantheon's hang time stall is my favorite part of that ride. Like you I also love Inverted coaster inversions with Great Bear, Alpengeist, and Banshee coming to mind. Another memorable one is Dominator at Kings Dominion. That's a pretty big loop and it feels like you're up there for a while.
@@jumpydashgd4699 it's like a top hat except the entrance and exit cross over one another, and one (the entry I believe) twists the "wrong" way like Kingda Ka's drop
I have to agree with you on the zero g stall on steel vengence being the best inversion on the ride. You must seriously hate Banshee though. I personally love the zero g roll on banshee. It seems to crawl through it, after trying to rip your feet off the whole ride.
I rode Dominator completely trimless a few weeks back, and the corkscrews were absolutely INSANE. I don't think I'll ever get a ride like that again, as it's never come close to the speed / whip I got that day, but that will stay with me forever.
I've ridden Dominator Twice and the corkscrews felt more intense the first day I rode it, maybe that was why. I can't remember, but my second ride did feel noticeably less intense.
I love the Wicked Cyclone stall too. But here are some others I like: - The vertical loop on Untamed at Canobie (or, I suppose, any other Gerstlauer Eurofighter 320/320+). It's slow and lazy at the top with lots of hangtime. - The interlocking loops on Loch Ness Monster. My first ever inversions. Just visually iconic. - The corkscrews on Fahrenheit. They're near the end and there are lots of near misses with the support structure. - The bizarre first-drop corkscrew on Drachen Fire. - The vertical loop that gives Hersheypark's sooperdooperLooper its name. My first lapbar-only inversion. The first drop feeds directly into this and Schwarzkopf clearly knew it was the big selling point, probably the first inversion ever for most of the people riding it back in the '70s--you see it coming the whole way down. It's a relatively circular loop with some force to it. - The vertical loop on, yes, Vekoma Boomerangs! They have a kick. The one at Compounce may be the most forceful inversion I've ever ridden. I grayed out a little on it. I like vertical loops, in general.
I love it on twisted colossus when the ride operator cares about the trains dueling. It makes for extremely short lines too, the station was all filled up and I waited at most like 15 minutes. Just makes the ride even better
As a hardcore Kennywood fanboy, I’m conflicted as to weather I should be happy about one of our coasters getting top 2, or be disappointed that you like skyrocket more than steel curtain.
The inverted top hat on the Mr Freeze coasters is so awesome. For me I’ll never forget being blinded by the light following the launch out the building and then by the time I could see anything I was already halfway up the hill leading into the inversion, and the tight radius makes it very forceful. I wouldn’t put it in my top 5 or anything but it’s pretty awesome.
Can agree with all of these that I've experienced; I'll provide my favorites (like always lol): (in no particular order, because I haven't made a ranking on this yet) B&M zero-g rolls (Kumba, Hulk, Kraken) and anything Hulk does lol B&M inverts: everything, but especially zero-g rolls (Montu/Batman) and batwing (Montu) Flying coasters: everything, especially zero-g rolls, pretzel loops (Manta/Superman), and vertical loop (Nighthawk) Iron Gwazi: barrel roll down-drop (this is insane; if it doesn't whip you in the morning, ride again in the afternoon! there's also one on Twisted Cyclone that's not as good, but part of the reverse cobra roll) Tigris: slow zero-g roll SheiKra: Immelmann (this element is huge: it starts intense, then it's graceful as you flip, then you speed up coming out of it) Schwarzkopf vertical loops (Mind Bender/Scorpion) Mine Blower: zero-g corkscrew (have no idea which one this is; websites seem to have different opinions) Tennessee Tornado: Dolly's Iron Butterfly Mystery Mine: zero-g roll and dive loop stall Copperhead Strike: jo-jo roll, first vertical loop, and cutback Stand-ups: vertical loops (Vortex/Scorcher; these are intense on your feet, which provide a weird and unique sensation that not everyone likes, but I do!) WORST inversion by comparison is probably the corkscrews on Carolina Cyclone. Haven't experienced many "bad" inversions but I'm not a fan of getting headbanging on already lackluster inversions...
@studio732jrl2 Thanks! Been to Carowinds once, and it was awesome. Imo there's a top 5 (with Nighthawk) I know it's unpopular but I was impressed by it (I'm a sucker for flying coasters though). I went to BG recently but still need to go back to IOA to ride VelociCoaster
I haven’t ridden enough coasters to pick a favorite, but Pantheon’s zero-G stall was incredible. Plus, it was cold that day, so it was going slower than normal. In addition, if you’re in the front, the zero-G winder after the first launch looked completely different than the video in person (on March 4th). In person, it appeared to hang on the winder for a considerable amount of time.
The Drachen Fire loop on Steel Curtain at Kennywood. Highest in the world, which looks even taller due to or position looking down the river valley. While not forcefull, its freaky.
I couldn't believe he left it out completely. I was waiting for it and wondering where it was at first and then realized, ohh that will be top 5 or even top 3. Then it's just not there. Strange taste in inversions putting some basic as heck inversions on there and leaving out the best zero g stall in the world.
@studio732jrl2 he had multiple repeat inversion types including zero g stall. And I'll tell you right now neither of those stalls are as good as Goliath's. I've been on all three. Oh well to each their own.
haven’t been on much like maybe 20 coasters but Alpengeist’s Cobra Roll is legit one of the must unsafe feeling inversions you twist to hard going into it and quite hard out of it so ✨magical✨ honorable mention like Anaconda’s Double Corkscrew since I’m not that tall currently I lift about 2 inches 1 inch? up on the corkscrews and it’s w e i r d
Copperhead Strike’s jojo roll is my all-time favorite element! It barely beats out SV’s outer banked turn. Also, I was kind of surprised that Banshee’s in-line twist wasn’t on here. For what I’ve ridden, I’d say it’s noteworthy. Banshee’s zero-G roll is also great.
My personal favorite inversion is the 2nd vertical loop on Desert Storm at Castles N’ Coasters. The loop itself is ridiculously intense but then you get a lateral jolt to the side of the train while still getting positive G’s as your pulling out because of the awkward shape of the element. The positives pulling out of the first loop are insane as well but this one takes the cake for me.
My all-time favorite inversion type is the Cobra Roll dating all the way back to Drachen Fire. So, my favorite inversion ever is the Cobra Roll on Alpengeist. Kumba's is really good as well as Raptor's, but Alpie's is just more intense. Never have a rough ride no matter what seat but the back row just rips through this inversion. Great list though.
FAX TO THE MAX, THAT ROLL CANT BE REPLICATED OR BEATEN, HE MUST OF PASSED OUT DURING IT, I DONT BELIEVE ITS POSSIBLE TO SAY ANYTHING BUT THAT ITS THE NUMBER 1 INVERSION.
For me, it's the Mosasaurus roll, also my favorite element. I don't know, but I just love the idea of extreme ejector paired with extreme laterals plus the awesome scenery and visuals. It's the best way to end one of the world's greatest coasters.
I love how the same kind of inversion can offer completely different experiences across different coasters. My credit list isn’t too crazy yet, but I think my favourite so far is either Hulk’s Zero-G roll or Montu’s Batwing. Yukon Striker’s Zero-G Winder is also super fun!
Copperhead strikes Jojo roll in the back is insanity, it beats out afterburn's batwing coming out of the trench and the one going into it for me. Got so much hang time and I genuinely thought I could fall out i loved it
I have to say the corkscrew on Afterburn at Carowinds is the most underrated inversion I've experienced. I feels like you get hit by truck halfway through, its so dang whippy. And you can't feel your face because all the blood is in your feet and the hill before still isn't enough time to recover from the batwing before the corkscrew. IDK if its running better this year but it was crazy as absolute heck!
My favorite inversion is Alpengeists Cobra Roll. The positive gs are incredibly strong and sustained even in the middle of the Cobra roll has crazy positive gs. The snap at the top is one of the whippiest moments I've experienced. Pantheons Stall is also amazing. The hangtime is really strong and the laterals make it that much better.
I love the Mosasaurus roll on Velocicoaster, but I'm a little shocked to not see Velocicoaster's zero-g stall on here. I really love it as it stalls you over the midway as you're coming to the ride and gives really good hang time with its lapbars. Otherwise, a very decent and fair list!
One of my favorite inversions is the vertical loop on Superman the Krypton Coaster in Fiesta Texas. Coming off the quarry wall on the first drop into the huge vertical loop is incredible.
Given your inclusion of a few of these dive loops, I'm surprised not to see the barel roll and dive loop finale on Mystery Mine. I think the execution there is a bit better. That said, you do hit the brakes too quickly after the dive loop is over. For me, I always enjoy a good Schwarzkopf circular inverted loop. They just feel different in a very good way. I especially like the loops on Shockwave and Mind Bender but New Revolution will always have a special place for me as it was my first inversion as a kid in the 90s.
Here are some of my favorites of costers I've ridden: Velocicoaster: Barrell Roll (My #1 Inversion) Velocicoaster: Zero G Stall Iron Gwazi: Barrell Roll Drop Montu: Batwing Tatsu: Pretzel Loop Afterburn: Batwing Goliath (SFGAm): Zero G Stall Twisted Timbers: Barrell Roll Drop Storm Chaser: Barrell Roll Drop Cannibal: Lagoon Roll Copperhead Strike: Heartline Roll Pantheon: Zero G Stall Steel Vengeance: Zero G Stall Twisted Colossus: Zero G Stall Iron Rattler: Heaven Roll Kumba: Zero G Roll Time Traveler: Zero G Roll Outlaw Run: Double Barrell Roll Full Throttle: Vertical Loop Thunderbird: Near Miss Wonder Women/RailBlazer/Stunt Pilot: Dive Loop Shockwave (SFOT): Double Loop Joker (SFDK): Top Gun Stall Manta: Pretzel Loop Gatekeeper: Near Miss
My favorite is the zero g roll on Sky Rocket at Kennywood. Also really like the drachen fire dive drop on Steel Curtain. Also the double inverting banana roll on Curtain as well. Although i like the single inverting banan roll on Shellraiser. Love the jojo roll on Copperhead Strike. Love Raptors cobra roll and vertical loop. The flying snake dive on Storm Runner is so good as well. All the inversions on SteVe are great. The corkscrews on inverted coasters are also amazing.
I have a soft spot for Anaconda. It was my favorite coaster in 1991 when I was 12. I still ride it every visit and think the drop, loop, and double corkscrews are all fun. But yeah, that middle...
Storm Runner’s inversion is insane, it feels like it just keeps going. & maybe i haven’t been on enough coasters but i love Bizarro and Jersey Devil’s dive loops lol
The big apple dive loop is interesting. It looks just like the only other Togo dive loop i know of, on their one dive loop hyper twister model. I don't know how many dives they ever made, but it's very distinct
The Flying Snake Dive on the ride to happiness is my all time favourite :D spinning around multiple times on multiple axis so high in the air is just demented
My favorite inversion is the stall loop on fønix Its great hangtime and the heartline Roll is very fun on fønix and the last inversion through the station is also very fun 🤩 🤩🤩
It's not my favorite inversion (the Death roll on IG is too good when it warms up), but the cobra roll on Alpengeist is always one I look forward too. The whip is almost too much to handle sometimes and I love it for that
I'm biased b/c it's my home park, but the zero-g roll on Superman Krypton Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is, to me, absolute perfection. Coming off the helix on the quarry wall into that rising, whippy roll is just brilliant
The best inversion is the outside raven turn on X2, especially when you're in the back row. It's that much better when the fire is turned on and you get the flames going into the raven turn.
I'm assuming you have not ridden Stunt Pilot at Silverwood because it has the same dive loop as Wonder Woman and Railblazer and it's quickly become my favorite coaster because of that dive loop.
Loved your video and your list, two of my favorite inversions actually made your list, the Lagoon Roll on Cannibal which always catches me by surprise and the Top Gun Stall on Twisted Colossus anyways great video once again!!!
The zero g roll on Railblazer is so good that it’s satisfying while it’s happening lol. It’s my favorite inversion of the ride. Definitely top 10 on this list imo
Haven't been on either Steel Hawg or El Loco, but Green Lantern at Movie World is the first inverting coaster I ever went on, and it seems like that's got souped up versions of both of their inversions.
thank you for the love to Kennywood's Skyrocket. for along time I wondered if the people that gave Sky rocket a bad review rode the same coaster as I. That was one feeling that i have never experienced on any other coaster
Nice list! I have unfortunately not ridden a single one on it though. But the last zero g roll on the banshee at kings island is one that comes to mind. 👍
It may just be nostalgia but I love the heart line roll on Ultra Twister. My favorite is the loop on Full Throttle. The best inversion on Velocicoaster Is the zero g stall after the top hat. I like the overwater, but it doesn’t play into the ride as much as it seems it would. Maybe if it dipped down toward it a little more.
I was a bit surprised that the synchronized loops of dueling dragons didn't make the list considering the inclusion of Volcano. Though I suppose they weren't nearly as good without the dueling aspect.
For me it’s the batwing on afterburn. (Has to be in back row) it is so forceful that i grey out almost every time I ride it and the tunnel just makes it even better. It’s like it wants to try to hide the greyout lol. But it just rips through the batwing. And pulls 5g’s through it
what happened to sandy’s blasting bronco? super strong LSM backwards acceleration w LSMs all the way up the first inversion - now THAT was amazing…also im a sucker for regular B&M floorless zeroG rolls
Since I am too young to travel to other countries to ride coasters, my favorite invention is the last one of Medusa steel coaster, because you feel you are slower than you actually are, giving it some great but not so long hang time
When it comes to inversions it doesn’t get much better than great hang time. Being a bigger guy the fear of falling out when the restaurant is supposed to feel tighter ups the intensity. El Loco and the final roll on Banshee come to mind for me

Pretzel loops are intense man!
Sky Rocket's first inversion is truly an underrated gem! I call the feeling "ejector hangtime"

My favourite is the indoor corkscrew on the smiler or the final corkscrew on the smiler. They're both incredible in their own ways
The inverted top hat on the Mr Freeze coasters is so awesome. For me I’ll never forget being blinded by the light following the launch out the building and then by the time I could see anything I was already halfway up the hill leading into the inversion, and the tight radius makes it very forceful. I wouldn’t put it in my top 5 or anything but it’s pretty awesome.
Can agree with all of these that I've experienced; I'll provide my favorites (like always lol):
(in no particular order, because I haven't made a ranking on this yet)
B&M zero-g rolls (Kumba, Hulk, Kraken) and anything Hulk does lol
B&M inverts: everything, but especially zero-g rolls (Montu/Batman) and batwing (Montu)
Flying coasters: everything, especially zero-g rolls, pretzel loops (Manta/Superman), and vertical loop (Nighthawk)
Iron Gwazi: barrel roll down-drop (this is insane; if it doesn't whip you in the morning, ride again in the afternoon! there's also one on Twisted Cyclone that's not as good, but part of the reverse cobra roll)
Tigris: slow zero-g roll
SheiKra: Immelmann (this element is huge: it starts intense, then it's graceful as you flip, then you speed up coming out of it)
Schwarzkopf vertical loops (Mind Bender/Scorpion)
Mine Blower: zero-g corkscrew (have no idea which one this is; websites seem to have different opinions)
Tennessee Tornado: Dolly's Iron Butterfly
Mystery Mine: zero-g roll and dive loop stall
Copperhead Strike: jo-jo roll, first vertical loop, and cutback
Stand-ups: vertical loops (Vortex/Scorcher; these are intense on your feet, which provide a weird and unique sensation that not everyone likes, but I do!)
WORST inversion by comparison is probably the corkscrews on Carolina Cyclone. Haven't experienced many "bad" inversions but I'm not a fan of getting headbanging on already lackluster inversions...
@studio732jrl2 Thanks! Been to Carowinds once, and it was awesome. Imo there's a top 5 (with Nighthawk) I know it's unpopular but I was impressed by it (I'm a sucker for flying coasters though). I went to BG recently but still need to go back to IOA to ride VelociCoaster
I haven’t ridden enough coasters to pick a favorite, but Pantheon’s zero-G stall was incredible. Plus, it was cold that day, so it was going slower than normal. In addition, if you’re in the front, the zero-G winder after the first launch looked completely different than the video in person (on March 4th). In person, it appeared to hang on the winder for a considerable amount of time.
Cannibal's Lagoon Roll is so unique and phenomenal, and it's the best inversion I've experienced.
The Drachen Fire loop on Steel Curtain at Kennywood. Highest in the world, which looks even taller due to or position looking down the river valley. While not forcefull, its freaky.
Goliath's Zero-G stall is the best on any RMC, quite possibly the best in general. The coaster is super short, but that stall is amazing.
I couldn't believe he left it out completely. I was waiting for it and wondering where it was at first and then realized, ohh that will be top 5 or even top 3. Then it's just not there. Strange taste in inversions putting some basic as heck inversions on there and leaving out the best zero g stall in the world.
@studio732jrl2 he had multiple repeat inversion types including zero g stall. And I'll tell you right now neither of those stalls are as good as Goliath's. I've been on all three. Oh well to each their own.
haven’t been on much like maybe 20 coasters but Alpengeist’s Cobra Roll is legit one of the must unsafe feeling inversions you twist to hard going into it and quite hard out of it so ✨magical✨ honorable mention like Anaconda’s Double Corkscrew since I’m not that tall currently I lift about 2 inches 1 inch? up on the corkscrews and it’s w e i r d
SLCs double barrel roll near miss is insane. If you're not head banging. It's so cool.
Copperhead Strike’s jojo roll is my all-time favorite element! It barely beats out SV’s outer banked turn.
Also, I was kind of surprised that Banshee’s in-line twist wasn’t on here. For what I’ve ridden, I’d say it’s noteworthy. Banshee’s zero-G roll is also great.
Yeah the last twist on banshee could have been on here
My personal favorite inversion is the 2nd vertical loop on Desert Storm at Castles N’ Coasters. The loop itself is ridiculously intense but then you get a lateral jolt to the side of the train while still getting positive G’s as your pulling out because of the awkward shape of the element. The positives pulling out of the first loop are insane as well but this one takes the cake for me.
My all-time favorite inversion type is the Cobra Roll dating all the way back to Drachen Fire. So, my favorite inversion ever is the Cobra Roll on Alpengeist. Kumba's is really good as well as Raptor's, but Alpie's is just more intense. Never have a rough ride no matter what seat but the back row just rips through this inversion. Great list though.
Alpengeist is such a great coaster. The first drop and the Cobra Roll are definitely the highlights on that coaster for me.
The mosasaurus roll on the Velocicoaster is insane!
FAX TO THE MAX, THAT ROLL CANT BE REPLICATED OR BEATEN, HE MUST OF PASSED OUT DURING IT, I DONT BELIEVE ITS POSSIBLE TO SAY ANYTHING BUT THAT ITS THE NUMBER 1 INVERSION.
I love the heartline roll on SAW. So much hangtime, and after getting deafened (no spoilers) it is absolutely crazy.
For me, it's the Mosasaurus roll, also my favorite element. I don't know, but I just love the idea of extreme ejector paired with extreme laterals plus the awesome scenery and visuals. It's the best way to end one of the world's greatest coasters.
I love how the same kind of inversion can offer completely different experiences across different coasters. My credit list isn’t too crazy yet, but I think my favourite so far is either Hulk’s Zero-G roll or Montu’s Batwing. Yukon Striker’s Zero-G Winder is also super fun!
Copperhead strikes Jojo roll in the back is insanity, it beats out afterburn's batwing coming out of the trench and the one going into it for me. Got so much hang time and I genuinely thought I could fall out i loved it
My favorite inversion is a toss up between the first loop on Shockwave and the second loop on Shockwave.
I have to say the corkscrew on Afterburn at Carowinds is the most underrated inversion I've experienced. I feels like you get hit by truck halfway through, its so dang whippy. And you can't feel your face because all the blood is in your feet and the hill before still isn't enough time to recover from the batwing before the corkscrew. IDK if its running better this year but it was crazy as absolute heck!
I'm kinda surprised Mystery Mine's ending didn't make the list. Incredibly unique and personally the best inversion I've been on.
True, that could have definitely made the list
My favorite inversion is Alpengeists Cobra Roll. The positive gs are incredibly strong and sustained even in the middle of the Cobra roll has crazy positive gs. The snap at the top is one of the whippiest moments I've experienced. Pantheons Stall is also amazing. The hangtime is really strong and the laterals make it that much better.
@studio732jrl2 Agree 100%.
I love the Mosasaurus roll on Velocicoaster, but I'm a little shocked to not see Velocicoaster's zero-g stall on here. I really love it as it stalls you over the midway as you're coming to the ride and gives really good hang time with its lapbars. Otherwise, a very decent and fair list!
I still have fond memories of graying out on Shockwave's loops at Over Texas
Every time for me
mine has to be the 270 degree stall on untamed or the zero g roll on ride to happiness. both have insane airtime + hangtime
One of my favorite inversions is the vertical loop on Superman the Krypton Coaster in Fiesta Texas. Coming off the quarry wall on the first drop into the huge vertical loop is incredible.
Given your inclusion of a few of these dive loops, I'm surprised not to see the barel roll and dive loop finale on Mystery Mine. I think the execution there is a bit better. That said, you do hit the brakes too quickly after the dive loop is over.
For me, I always enjoy a good Schwarzkopf circular inverted loop. They just feel different in a very good way. I especially like the loops on Shockwave and Mind Bender but New Revolution will always have a special place for me as it was my first inversion as a kid in the 90s.
I agree with Mystery Mine.
Here are some of my favorites of costers I've ridden:
Velocicoaster: Barrell Roll (My #1 Inversion)
Velocicoaster: Zero G Stall
Iron Gwazi: Barrell Roll Drop
Montu: Batwing
Tatsu: Pretzel Loop
Afterburn: Batwing
Goliath (SFGAm): Zero G Stall
Twisted Timbers: Barrell Roll Drop
Storm Chaser: Barrell Roll Drop
Cannibal: Lagoon Roll
Copperhead Strike: Heartline Roll
Pantheon: Zero G Stall
Steel Vengeance: Zero G Stall
Twisted Colossus: Zero G Stall
Iron Rattler: Heaven Roll
Kumba: Zero G Roll
Time Traveler: Zero G Roll
Outlaw Run: Double Barrell Roll
Full Throttle: Vertical Loop
Thunderbird: Near Miss
Wonder Women/RailBlazer/Stunt Pilot: Dive Loop
Shockwave (SFOT): Double Loop
Joker (SFDK): Top Gun Stall
Manta: Pretzel Loop
Gatekeeper: Near Miss
My favorite inversion is the cobra roll on Alpengeist. It's outsized and just the right speed and the scenery is just beautiful to behold.
My favorite is the zero g roll on Sky Rocket at Kennywood. Also really like the drachen fire dive drop on Steel Curtain. Also the double inverting banana roll on Curtain as well. Although i like the single inverting banan roll on Shellraiser. Love the jojo roll on Copperhead Strike. Love Raptors cobra roll and vertical loop. The flying snake dive on Storm Runner is so good as well. All the inversions on SteVe are great. The corkscrews on inverted coasters are also amazing.
suprised montu's batwing was on here, but not banshee's pretzel knot
I think looking at this list we can safely say that Premier Rides knows how to make a damn good inversion
The corkscrew on Anaconda is even slower than the one on Viper, it just crawls through that thing. Almost makes up for the middle part of the ride.
I have a soft spot for Anaconda. It was my favorite coaster in 1991 when I was 12. I still ride it every visit and think the drop, loop, and double corkscrews are all fun. But yeah, that middle...
Storm Runner’s inversion is insane, it feels like it just keeps going. & maybe i haven’t been on enough coasters but i love Bizarro and Jersey Devil’s dive loops lol
The big apple dive loop is interesting. It looks just like the only other Togo dive loop i know of, on their one dive loop hyper twister model.
I don't know how many dives they ever made, but it's very distinct
The Flying Snake Dive on the ride to happiness is my all time favourite :D spinning around multiple times on multiple axis so high in the air is just demented
I’m surprised you didn’t include the stall on jdc, out of the 3 stalls I’ve done, that was my favorite and definitely the best part of the ride
@juiceboxer100 i really do. But i agree the stall was the best part of the ride
@juiceboxer100 I wouldn’t say that but yeah I do think Chris underrates it a bit
we need an "all-time favorite straight track"
My favorite inversion is the stall loop on fønix Its great hangtime and the heartline Roll is very fun on fønix and the last inversion through the station is also very fun 🤩 🤩🤩
Awesome video Chris. Would of thought we'd see the pretzel knot on banshee, being your a B&M fanboi!! 😆
Surprised not to see a Tatsu element somewhere in the top 30. At the very least I would sub out the Viper corkscrews
Mystery mines finale is fr underrated
Love this list!! Only other I’d include is Tatsu’s pretzel loop.
The inverted top hat on Mr. Freeze was the craziest hang time moment for me when I got a rollback just over a year ago.
@studio732jrl2 I never rode Mr. Freeze when it launched forwards, so I don’t know how the inverted top hat on that would compare to the Chiller
The pretzel loop on Manta in the back row is absolutely absurd
My favorites are the heart line roll over the water on velocicoaster, the downwards inversion on gwazi, and the barrel roll drop on twisted timbers
It's not my favorite inversion (the Death roll on IG is too good when it warms up), but the cobra roll on Alpengeist is always one I look forward too. The whip is almost too much to handle sometimes and I love it for that
I'm biased b/c it's my home park, but the zero-g roll on Superman Krypton Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is, to me, absolute perfection. Coming off the helix on the quarry wall into that rising, whippy roll is just brilliant
The best inversion is the outside raven turn on X2, especially when you're in the back row. It's that much better when the fire is turned on and you get the flames going into the raven turn.
Buy or sell Magic mountain gets rid of scream and replaces it with a dive coaster
Always the coolest rollercoaster videos!
I'm assuming you have not ridden Stunt Pilot at Silverwood because it has the same dive loop as Wonder Woman and Railblazer and it's quickly become my favorite coaster because of that dive loop.
Loved your video and your list, two of my favorite inversions actually made your list, the Lagoon Roll on Cannibal which always catches me by surprise and the Top Gun Stall on Twisted Colossus anyways great video once again!!!
Definitely biased since it’s my home park, but I love the Loch Ness Monster interlocking loops
All time classic
The zero g roll on Railblazer is so good that it’s satisfying while it’s happening lol. It’s my favorite inversion of the ride. Definitely top 10 on this list imo
Bring back the list series with all inversion types
Some of my favorite elements is the Zero G Stall on Jersey Devil and Pretzel Loop on the Flying coasters. Absolutely love them!
The "Death" roll on Iron Gwazi would have made your list. The ride as a whole is incredible, that element is perfect
I love the Incredible Hulk’s cobra roll, Montu’s loop, Kumba’s corkscrew, and Mind Bender at Six Flags Over Georgia’s loop.
Haven't been on either Steel Hawg or El Loco, but Green Lantern at Movie World is the first inverting coaster I ever went on, and it seems like that's got souped up versions of both of their inversions.
thank you for the love to Kennywood's Skyrocket. for along time I wondered if the people that gave Sky rocket a bad review rode the same coaster as I. That was one feeling that i have never experienced on any other coaster
I saw Full Throttle roll back. I was sitting on the brake run when the other train rolled back. I so wished that I was on that train!
Copperhead's roll is number one for me. I've never genuinely feared falling out of a coaster before I went through that. Crazy stuff.
Nice list! I have unfortunately not ridden a single one on it though. But the last zero g roll on the banshee at kings island is one that comes to mind. 👍
It may just be nostalgia but I love the heart line roll on Ultra Twister. My favorite is the loop on Full Throttle. The best inversion on Velocicoaster Is the zero g stall after the top hat. I like the overwater, but it doesn’t play into the ride as much as it seems it would. Maybe if it dipped down toward it a little more.
I was a bit surprised that the synchronized loops of dueling dragons didn't make the list considering the inclusion of Volcano. Though I suppose they weren't nearly as good without the dueling aspect.
Mines probably the Flying Snake Dive or the corkscrew on Time Traveler! Love both’s change of direction.
For me it’s the batwing on afterburn. (Has to be in back row) it is so forceful that i grey out almost every time I ride it and the tunnel just makes it even better. It’s like it wants to try to hide the greyout lol. But it just rips through the batwing. And pulls 5g’s through it
A little surprised Banshee didn't make this list. That pretzel and the slow in line twist are pretty nutty
what happened to sandy’s blasting bronco? super strong LSM backwards acceleration w LSMs all the way up the first inversion - now THAT was amazing…also im a sucker for regular B&M floorless zeroG rolls
Since I am too young to travel to other countries to ride coasters, my favorite invention is the last one of Medusa steel coaster, because you feel you are slower than you actually are, giving it some great but not so long hang time
When it comes to inversions it doesn’t get much better than great hang time. Being a bigger guy the fear of falling out when the restaurant is supposed to feel tighter ups the intensity. El Loco and the final roll on Banshee come to mind for me
