COASTER BOT you should do that, make a quiz on things you have covered on the channel about roller coaster function, restraints, safety mechanisms, element names, and so on.
All my friends : "YOU GO UPSIDE DOWN ON A LOOP SND LIKE LOOP 5 TIMES WOAH" Me being a rollercoaster enthusiast : "Uhm that's what you call a Cobra roll, Zero-G roll, corkscrew, dive loop and a heartline roll"
@@PianoBoyLiam This video counts the cobra roll (one element) as two inversions though, or going upside-down two times (Your username looks cool in blue, by the way)
would you like a corked roll? a tip-out corner? or a twist n' shout? or even a 270° double inverting corner stall? the person who can name all coasters those elements are found on gets a cookie
the double inverting corner stall can be found on untamed, the twist n shout is a rollercoaster in itself, i think a tip out corner can be found on mumbo jumbo at flaming land, and I think the corked roll element can be found on the smiler as it's first element although I could be wrong
Corked roll: Storm chaser Tip out corner: Storm chaser Twist and shout: lightning rod 270° double inverting corner stall: untamed I think I deserve a Cookie ;-)
A lot of enthusiasts talk about the Double Flippity Whippy Slippy on Untamed as one of the best elements out there, but you can't forget the *a linguistic representation of the guitar solo from Pink Floyd's Money* on Firechaser Express. Personally, i'm all about a good Slithering Snaker Side to Side like on Maverick or Copperhead Strike.
@@Sam-il5yw you have to put the asterisks on both ends, otherwise you'd be disgracing David Gilmour's guitar solo. That element can only be represented etymologically by every single note in that section of the song.
I think heartline rolls are the most satisfying element for me, but I also really like off-axis airtime hills! With both elements, I LOVE watching the train go through them.
I've always had trouble Identifying certain elements. I've found myself calling all the inverting elements "barrel rolls" except for the loop or simply "inversions"
I kinda take a liking to the heartline roll. Its just rly interesting and its also the main part of what is probably my favorite ride overall (Cheetah Hunt). Bunny hills and their more extreme siblings (i forget the name lol) are also rly fun and I cant help but laugh every time. Good example being Mako Edit: idk if it would just be considered a normal but i also love that one special loop thing on Manta. Its so interesting when your in that position
Heartline rolls are a lot of fun! You're talking about the pretzel loop on Manta, they're meant to be one of the most intense roller coaster elements out there!
Gotta say, thank you for this video! Ever since I started getting into roller coasters on UA-cam I've heard all of these element names. They all sounded exotic and in a way inaccessible to someone like me who has a limited knowledge of roller coasters in general. This really simplified it all for me and helped me better understand these element names and what they look like. I have to admit I'm still learning these terms and I'll probably be referring to this video a bunch when I watch roller coaster reviews. Thanks again!
No problem, there's definitely a lot of jargon out there so it can be heard to learn the terms! Best of luck with your roller coaster learning - thanks for watching :)
I've been wanting a video like this for a while! I've wanted to know the definitions/differences for the zero-g, heartline, barrel roll, etc. So thank you!
The only ride I've been on with a sea serpent roll is Medusa at Discovery kingdom, which gives a surprising amount of lateral gs for a floorless. Great ride, despite the lack of theming.
I was one of the last people to go on The Swarm when it ran a set of backwards seats on the end of the train. Went with some friends, they all sat in the front facing row, I sat on my own, literally, on my own, in the backwards seat. It was a completely different ride, 100% more amazing than facing forward
Great coverage. I would also add a note on how a lot of the element types and styles were tied to their manufacturers. For example, how the original Boomerang was made by Arrow and commonly became referred to as the "Arrow Boomerang" despite the first installation in the Orient Express at Worlds of Fun referring to it as the "Kamikaze Curve". Then there was the Vekoma Boomerang which gave birth to the B&M Cobra Roll. Also, Arrow's boomerang was comprised of two "sidewinders" and one installation had the second sidewinder exiting the opposite side of the prevailing direction of travel, resulting in the "Bowtie" element on Dragon Mountain from 1983. Admittedly, the more that element design became more fluid and versatile, and thus less modular, the differences between the manufacturers have dissipated and aren't as clear cut as they were from 1975 through about 1991.
Isn’t that one of those mythical elements that coaster parents tell their kids about? That the magical ride operator might bestow upon them but only if they’re well behaved all day.... 😉✨🎢
My favorite element has got to be the simple corkscrew. Put a corkscrew and a turn right after it and I don’t know what’s going on for the rest of the ride. I don’t quite grey out but it’s always the corkscrews that catch me off guard… batman the ride and nighthawk for example. I also love heartline rolls. They’re just epic and add great diversity to rides. They look cool too
90 degree banked sideways airtime hills! Especially if alternating between left and right in a double up or double down configuration But I've always loved the non inverting airtime heavy style of coaster (especially woodies)
I like the one and only lagoon roll, located at lagoon on the cannibal. I haven't ridden a lot of coasters and I've only been to lagoon, no other parks.
I just got back from my five day trip to SF Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm five hours ago! After that, (and my 2 week trip to England in late Oct/Early Nov.) I can appreciate the footage. My favourite elements are drops, camelbacks, and post MCBR dips, (I guess I'm a traditional coaster enthusiast) but I'll enjoy any element done well. It all depends on the coaster; for example The Smiler has none of these elements and it's my favourite coaster at Alton Towers. Then again; my favourite element in that coaster is the airtime hill in the 2nd half. Too much more for me to cover here right now, except to say thanks for this video!
There's so many elements we didn't cover in this video! The jojo roll is an interesting one actually - that's a heartline roll immediately out of the station. Thank you :)
You forgot the horseshoe, an almost non-inverting 180 spiral mostly found on hyper coasters, for example, the Silver Star. And this year, I rode that more than 5 times in a single day.
My favourite element has to be the duelling Staffordshire Knot as it feels great to go through and can provide absolutely excellent views/photo chances from off-ride.
what it actually is: corkscrew, 0-g roll, immulmen, banana roll. what the GP think it is: loop, loop, loop, loop, loop, I N V E R T E D C O R K S C R E W
If I had to name a favorite element I'd pick Shambhala's ampersand turn, not necessarily from the ride experience its shape is just so memorable Incredible video as usual, I find it perfect to initiate curious friends to the basics while pointing at what's left to explore I love it
YES! I needed this coaster video. I design coasters and do POV's but I never know 80% of the names of everything haha. I'm going to watch this video 10 times so I remember everything! Thanks for making this! You published this on my Birthday also which is ironic :P SUBSCRIBED!
I feel like this video is preparing me for an exam with all these definitions and explanations and what not 😂
I'll give you all the exam in 2 weeks time, get studying! ;)
COASTER BOT I’ll have John Wardley help me through it via a hidden ear piece :)
Actually it’s not a bad idea for a video series. Quiz yourself multiple choice questions 🎢
COASTER BOT you should do that, make a quiz on things you have covered on the channel about roller coaster function, restraints, safety mechanisms, element names, and so on.
COASTER BOT Yes please!
I quite like the 270 degree double inverting coner stall
Also known as 270° DICS
Legible formula my favourite as well
@Vlek How about we just call it the 270* DICKS then?
Yea it's really cool. It's found on UNTAMEND
Untamed* yea untamed only has good elements xd
My favorite element is the mid-couse brakerun
will s What’s the best mid course. My favorites Cali- I mean Incredicoaster
@@worldwidewrestling2639 my favorite is the one on titan at SFOT. It's so awesome how it kills all your momentum.
lol /s
Thats funny Will. You must work for B&M.
World Wide Wrestling my favorite is the beast at kings island because yeah
The banana roll needs to be utilized more often.
Also, the Phoenix’s double-up-down.
No it need to be unique
Most definitely!
Nah, we need more... (Looks at RCDB) Kick...flips?
Soem Random Dude lmao insert a THPS combo and call it a roller coaster element
xRGTMx White Lightning at Fun Spot America (Orlando) has this one and it has lots of airtime.
I have heard of a *lööp*
Nah fam I’ve heard of a *lööpd3lööp*
Bröther, I need the Lööps.

Thank god someone FINALLY explained the difference between an inline twist and a heartline roll
No problem, thanks for watching :)
@@coasterbot whats the difference between them ?
@@eylon951 …bruh
@@eylon951 heartline roll: rotates around an imaginary point
inline twist: rotates along the track's center spine
And I always see people confusing heartline rolls with corkscrews... because it looks more like a corkscrew than the ACTUAL corkscrew element 😂
I really like the 0g roll. I know it’s really common, but I love that no matter how many times I do it l never know what to expect
Zero-g rolls are great!
I absolutely love Stengel dives
I like the chainlift. Probably the scariest part of the ride.
LeothePianoMan _this better be ironic_
isnt he right? you are scared on the Lifthill the most lol
Donschnulione I find certain inversions like the cobra roll and head/foot choppers more scary personally
Breakrun is heavier...
I can relate, I'm extremely scared of height but at the same time I love roller coasters, the lift hill is always the scariest part for me.
Honorable mentions: Pretzel Loop on Tatsu and Raven turns on X2
Hear! Hear! both are at my homepark
Absolutely - both very unique sensations.
Don’t forget the Top Gun Stall in Twisted Collosus
Steven Schiro YES!!
Two of my favorite coasters at Magic Mountain!
Me: falling Asleep to Harry's relaxing voice
Ad: *WaTcH tHe VaPe*
Me: jumps than stares at vape
Zero-G Rolls rule. And the double inverting stall on Untamed
270 degree Double Inverting Corner Stall its basically a Lagoon roll on a hill and on a corner curve of the layout
Cameron Goldthorpe *on steroids
would you like a corked roll? a tip-out corner? or a twist n' shout? or even a 270° double inverting corner stall?

@@zuzelino5889 yes you get a cookie. 🍪
The zero-G roll is my favorite element.
Gabriel Díaz righttt🤩
I like cobra rolls 😊
Me to. And an imalmen
It is a great one!
zero g stalls imo
I love the bat wing on the smiler and the 2 airtime hill!
Me too!
I love how informative UA-cam is lol
There’s literally a whole UA-cam community for coasters haha

NovaScienceNever the linguistic representation of pink floyds money is one of the most intense elements ever.
@@Sam-il5yw you have to put the asterisks on both ends, otherwise you'd be disgracing David Gilmour's guitar solo. That element can only be represented etymologically by every single note in that section of the song.
I don't know how I feel about this
The non-inverting sea-serpent roll has to be my favorite element.
Oh yeah, that's a great element!
You mean the octopus arm?
I think the Lagoon Roll on Cannibal is quite unique. It’s a double heartline roll that reverses it’s twist halfway through.
It definitely is!
The pretzel loop is my favourite element.
i prefer the churro loop myself
I think heartline rolls are the most satisfying element for me, but I also really like off-axis airtime hills! With both elements, I LOVE watching the train go through them.
Heartline rolls are extremely awesome!

I love the Hive Dive and also the Lagoon Roll. Hive dive gives amazing airtime *somehow*, and I love the hang time on the Lagoon Roll.
Even as an enthusiast, I once heard the term “Negative G Stall Loop” and thought it was a joke.
(Good video btw)
Thanks :)
basically a normal loop that's approached with insufficient speed and leads to riders hanging from their seats at the top of the loop?
@@larsfroelich I rode one like that! It was scary, I thought I was gonna fall out of my seat lol
I've been wanting a video like this for a while! I've wanted to know the definitions/differences for the zero-g, heartline, barrel roll, etc. So thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching! :)
This was really fun to watch. The cobra roll is the first element that I ever experienced riding a coaster-on the Hulk at Universal in Orlando.
Am I the only one who was partially laughing? Cuz I lost it at 7:46 lol. I love this video.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! ;)
I've been dying for a video like this! I've seen so many of your videos and I've been trying to learn by context
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for watching and wanting to learn! :)
just chillin over here with taron in my homepark... overbanked turns all the way
In RCT3, there’s an element on the Hypercoaster known as the Figure 8 loop. Shame such a thing doesn’t exist on real coasters :/
The only ride I've been on with a sea serpent roll is Medusa at Discovery kingdom, which gives a surprising amount of lateral gs for a floorless. Great ride, despite the lack of theming.
The engineers: Which elements do you want?
The Smiler: Yes.
Damn here I thought loop de loop was just another way people would call just a standard loop but making it seem intense. Well good thing Viper has it!
I was one of the last people to go on The Swarm when it ran a set of backwards seats on the end of the train. Went with some friends, they all sat in the front facing row, I sat on my own, literally, on my own, in the backwards seat. It was a completely different ride, 100% more amazing than facing forward

I love heartline rolls, the feeling is just insane.
I love Smiler and was great to see it appear so many times in this great video. She really has it all.
The Smiler is an awesome coaster!
We went to Six Flags for a Physics trip, and we literally had to these type of analysis
That's awesome! :)
my favorite element is the "drop off of a trimless mid course brake run in the back row"
Isn’t that one of those mythical elements that coaster parents tell their kids about? That the magical ride operator might bestow upon them but only if they’re well behaved all day.... 😉✨🎢
My favorite element is the trim brake, I love how it always kills your momentum on a lot of rides. Am I alone here?
I can't get over the Staffordshire knot, especially when in sync on the smiler

Something you left out with the immelmann is the origin of its name, which is the stunt (or fighter?) pilot who came up with the maneuver's last name

The bowtie is a unique element only found on Dragon Mountain in Marine Land (Canada). One of my fave Arrow custom Loopers.
Now that is a really unique element!
As a swed i like that you used swedish roller coaster’s in your exempels.
I like the one and only lagoon roll, located at lagoon on the cannibal. I haven't ridden a lot of coasters and I've only been to lagoon, no other parks.
The lagoon roll is very cool!
My fave is definitely the mini roll
I love a good Cadbury's mini-roll too! ;)
My favourite elements are probably ejector airtime hills and dive loops. I don't really like cobra rolls...
Yeah cobra rolls can be a little jerky and the transitions out of it can be rough, but they are amazing to look at.
@@TheEpicWalrus you're totally right!
I'd agree with those two, both are awesome!
Holy SMACKERS! It's enough to fill a dictionary! Thank you.
You're right! Thanks for watching :)
Is it actually called a Staffordshire knot, or is it named after the fact that Alton Towers is in Staffordshire?
I just got back from my five day trip to SF Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm five hours ago! After that, (and my 2 week trip to England in late Oct/Early Nov.) I can appreciate the footage. My favourite elements are drops, camelbacks, and post MCBR dips, (I guess I'm a traditional coaster enthusiast) but I'll enjoy any element done well. It all depends on the coaster; for example The Smiler has none of these elements and it's my favourite coaster at Alton Towers. Then again; my favourite element in that coaster is the airtime hill in the 2nd half. Too much more for me to cover here right now, except to say thanks for this video!
No problem, thanks for watching. Your trip sounds awesome, I hope you had a great time :)
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this!
Amazing video! Good refresher to everything I learned from RCT3 haha
Copperhead has 2 you overlooked:
-stangel dive
- jojo roll
Great vid though!
There's so many elements we didn't cover in this video! The jojo roll is an interesting one actually - that's a heartline roll immediately out of the station. Thank you :)
You forgot the horseshoe, an almost non-inverting 180 spiral mostly found on hyper coasters, for example, the Silver Star.
And this year, I rode that more than 5 times in a single day.
There's a whole list of elements we didn't include, we'd be here all day otherwise! :)
The outer banked turn is my favourite because it's different
Well i really really want to build a theme park in the future so this quite helpful!
Idk why people say cobra rolls are rough. I have very pleasant experiences on them...
screams cobra roll at sfmm is rough but silver bullets at knots isn’t so it depends which ride i think
It's because they're largely used on old vekoma coasters such as Boomerangs and Some SLC's.
@@spark3395 yeah.
@Coaster Fusion the one on the smiler is mad! Part of an excellent finale in my opinion!
Unpopular Oppion, the best element is a mid course break run, which slows you down.
My favorite element is the giant wave turn thing on Twisted Cyclone.
gotta love the 270 degree double inverting corner stall
in my opinion
i really liked the butterfly and the inside top hat
those two freaked me out till this day
1 suggestion but you have to guess it…
Hint:found on Velosicoaster.
The brontosaurus roll
My favourite element has to be the duelling Staffordshire Knot as it feels great to go through and can provide absolutely excellent views/photo chances from off-ride.
It is easily one of the most visually impressive elements for sure!
MOM COASTER BOT JUST MADE A GP FRIENDLY VIDEO
Very very familiar with all of these and i love em, it’s what makes roller coasters great! :-)

true true
my fav is a dive loop or non inverted is an overbanked helix
I’m going to Blackpool tomorrow with school and this really helps lmao cus I never go in coasters and I’m pretty neevous
Lagoon roll is pretty awesome essentially 3/4 of a heartline roll followed by 3/4 heartline the opposite direction traversed while going fairly slow.
I love the Zero g stall and the inline Twist. :3 I hate the old corkscrew on vekoma/arrow it hurts so damn hard
3:45 hey smiler you doing a good job!!!!!
Camel back and bunny hills are the best in my opinion
Very informative video!
Thank you :)
What an amazing video! 👏🏻
Thank you! :)
the heartline roll is considered part of the snake dive
Also I like fury 325s treble clef element
If I had to name a favorite element I'd pick Shambhala's ampersand turn, not necessarily from the ride experience its shape is just so memorable
