i personally love the name death roll for iron gwazi, as the death roll is a way crocodiles rip prey apart.
The First Coaster I Went On With An Inversion, Was Hyperspace Mountain At Disneyland Paris In 2019.
Are You Now Proud of Me Going On Coasters With Inversions? Because I Been To Thorpe Park And I Like The Coasters There.
I think we can all agree that Hyperia’s outer banked twist thing will be insane!
The immelman as well.
That barrel roll looks so cool it might be the best part of the ride.
so true tho thorpe park going crazy
Looks like a bigger version of taiga’s first inversion
Yeah, the stall loop as well will be insane
Love it or hate it, the Cobra Roll on Alpengeist deserves some respect for its intensity.
facts
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od Why Are You Talking Like This
alpengeist is in my top 5
such an intense and insane ride
Most intense part on Alpengeist is the entrance into the midcourse where it essentially tries to snap your neck
@Goliath146 I think the cobra roll is the most intense part but man that midcourse entry is also insane
Maaaaaaan BGT is literally the king of inversions. Montu, Gwazi, and can’t forget Kumba’s zero-g roll.
Kumba’s G-roll 🤯
Kumba's hell roll*
Kumba's inversions have always made me nauseous. I dunno what it is about that particular old school b&m that makes me feel all wobbly when I got off.
Kumbas roll is more like a -1g roll
And for many of us, that single vertical loop on Scorpion was the first inversion that many Floridians got to experience, myself included. RIP
The name “Death-Roll” for that inversion makes a lot of sense because Iron Gwazi is themed to alligators which latch onto their prey with their powerful jaws and roll to try and tear them apart which is known as the “Death-Roll”.
I thought this was well known.
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od Yeah, but it’s something else to talk about when it comes to that inversion and what it’s referencing that wasn’t mentioned when they were talking the name of the inversion.
@mr.noride7226 I'm not hating by the way i.got taught this in 3rd grade lol
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od I was gonna make a “Not everyone here is from Florida” joke 😆
@mr.noride7226 Ironically I Am From Florida Though
The vertical loop on full throttle is awesome
The off ride footage of Voltron at Europa Park looks like it’ll have some fantastic inversions when it opens
The Inverted launch and the Stall are very hangtime heavy, especially the Stall is really good
Some of my favorite inversions that they didn’t mention are
Maxx Force’s heartline roll
Mr. Freeze’s inverted top hat
Hulk’s zero-g roll, cobra roll and first corkscrew
Mystery Mine’s heartline roll and dive loop
Thunderbird and X-Flight’s in-line twists
Steel Vengeance’s first inversion
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od that’s the 2nd inversion on the ride.
@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239 sorry I got mixed up I think its just a zero G roll I've heard Alot of people call it that
Yes to Thunderbird! That has that great finale!
my home park is dollywood and i can agree the second drop and two heartline to dive loop is amazing!
Best erupting inversion R.I.P. VOLCANO 🌋
True 😢
My favorite has to be the lagoon roll. When you switch the way your rotating it's such a unique combo of whip and hang time.
I know it never open to the public, but I want to give a shout out to the heartline roll on Maverick
These are amazing! Only thing I would add is the Lagoon roll
YUUUP
Steel vengeances second inversion was insane to me and my favorite before time traveler and the Florida ones
I LOVE the Schwarzkopf inverted loops. Yes, inverted loops are common but the ones on Schwarzkopf loopers (especially the more aggressive ones and the back to back loops) feel so cool. The positive forces just seem unnatural, especially while you're inverted.
My first inversion was the loop on Revolution and as a kid it really blew me away that going upside would feel like that. I didn't know at that time that that bizarre sensation was specific to that loop type. My favorite is the back to back sequence on Shockwave.
I like the drop that builds up to it.
The slow inline twist on banshee, the ending double barrel on mystery mine, and the final corkscrew on flight of fear are three of my favs!
I wouldn't say they're the craziest inversions but two favorites that come to mind are the zero g roll out of the lift hill of Incredible Hulk and the dueling loops on Dueling Dragons. Being on the front row of Dueling Dragons when the other train is coming right at you before you pull up into the loop at the last second might be my favorite coaster element of all time and I hope someday we get another coaster that replicates it.
People always say how night rides are so epic. But something rarer and more underrated are rain rides. I did a ride on hulk in the rain and it was way more intense than normal
Flying Snake Dive is my single favorite element on any roller coaster. It’s just so unique and it’s why Storm Runner is my favorite ride at Hershey. SO good.
Sushi roll, California roll 😂
My favorites in no particular order are: The Mosasaurus Roll, Flying Snake Dive, Banana Roll on Steel Curtain, Pretzel knot on Banshee, Batwing on Montu and Afterburn, Cobra Roll on Kumba, the sequence of the first two inversions on Twisted Cyclone, barrel roll drop on Twsited Timbers, inline twist on Banshee, and the arcade roll/Raven Truss dive on Arie Force one. I love a lot of different categories of inversions, but those are my personal favorites. Still yet to experience the death roll, but hopefully that’ll change this year or next year.
The in-line twist on banshee at the end is great that’s my home park. The mosasaurus roll has to be the best inversion I think I’ve experienced though
My Favorite Out Of These Is The Flying Snake Dive
I love the corkscrew on Flight of fear, Double loop on Vortex at kings island was insane, and the outerbank into a barrel roll drop on hyperia looks crazy too.
The only inversion that got me to almost soil myself was the Drachen Fire dive drop on Steel Curtain at Kennywood. It’s terrifying all the way from the parking lot. As far as for the GP, it’s always fun seeing them on the Premier Skyrocket IIs when the are creeping through the in-line twist. It’s sooooo slow you get full weight transfer onto the restraints.
Steel Curtain & Alpengeist deserved a spot here
The interlocking loops on Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg (when 2 two coasters are timed to go through at the same time) are classic to me
So fun fact about those 2 on the smiler (or, 4, technically). It's actually officially called the "Staffordshire Knot", aptly names as Alton Towers is located in Staffordshire, and looks alot like the knot itself!
You wanna talk about hang time? The enormous vertical loop on Full Throttle is crazy. feels like you're hanging forever!
That's one that I thought of. Best hangtime, and such a beautiful upsidedown view of the mountains.
Yes and yes on such an awesome view!!! All with a lap bar!!! One of my favorite inversions :)
I recently rode Vortex at Carowinds and that corkscrew was kinda insane. Imo the best inversion in that park was the cutback on Copperhead
Some of my favorite underrated inversions are the zero g roll on Maxx Force, the downward barrel roll on Steel Hawg, the elongated loop on Junker at powerland, and the inverted top hat on Mr Freeze. The latter probably being in my top 5 inversions ever.
I always feel sad when people talk about the mosasaurus roll on Velocicoaster without mentioning the very similar yet faster version on Maxx Force. You absolutely fly through that one and get some insane whip which I actually prefer over the Velocicoaster inversion. Also, a good in line twist always delivers like on Banshee, Thunderbird or the one on Sandy's Blasting Bronco!
real dude ive done both and maxx forces roll is wild
The batwing on Afterburn is amazing and the loop on Nighthawk gets me all the time.
The last inversion on thunderbird is so good😊
Hot Take: the flying snake dive is better than both the death roll and mosasaurus roll combined.
agree
RTH's final inversion is called a double inverting dive loop ;) it's indeed a bit similar to a flying snake dive, but without the airtime pop moment at the beginning.
I'm happy to see it in your selection, this element is absolutely phenomenal (probably my favourite moment in any rollercoaster).
0:22 “we love inversions” and got Taylor wearing a smiler shirt hahah it’s amazing
newer enthusiast who was previously deathly afraid of coasters, me, had velocicoaster as my first coaster with an inversion lol. that roll was insane, i got upside down ejector to the point the only thing holding me from hitting the water was a small portion of my thighs on the lap bar, with my body fully out the seat. absolute insanity
The one on Untamed that you last described is an absolute masterpiece. I remember, when I first rode it and this element is pretty much in the beginning of the ride, shortly after the first drop, but as soon as I went through it, I was like "This is f***ing GENIUS!". This was the moment I realized I am actually riding an absolute masterpiece af a rollercoaster. This ride is just so unique and the pacing is great, without actually being very tall or very fast.
alpengheists cobra roll is mind crushing
i love it
“Here comes the Mako roll!!”
how could we forget that one!!
Haha I remember that video
There are so many awesome inversions, and your list is spot on. but a few honorable mentions would be the barrel roll out of the launch on Hulk, The enormous loop on Full Throttle and the first drop on Cannibal, which has to be considered an inversion.
I’m not the biggest fan of the ride but the ending of Mystery Mine is always a surprise. You whip through the first inversion and then get wild hang time on the dive loop
Agree!
Alpengeist Cobra Roll
For me, I absolutely love the flying snake dive on storm runner. Probably my fav inversion on a coaster I’ve been on. For me, I put it over the (dinosaur - because I can’t spell it) roll on velocicoaster
The zero G roll-Cobra Roll-V loop combo on Hulk at Islands of Adventure is probably the most intense 3 element combo on any coaster I’ve done. That ride will never cease to take my breath away.
I think SLC’s sidewinder should be on here lol
Only the one on the great norreaster at moreys piers bc the other slcs have so much headbanging that u cant enjoy they elements
The stall on Twisted Colossus when it’s dueling remains my favorite, just nothing like being stalled and seeing another train running beneath you
Iron Rattler's heaven roll still feels amazing every time I ride it.
i haven't ridden many rollercoasters, but the first inversion on Hulk was so good
the batwing combined with the cobra roll on the smiler actually has a name: the staffordshire knot!
Hands down that Pretzel loop on Tatsu in the very back row is the absolute best. The feeling is just intense and out of this world.
You hit most of the ones I thought would be on the list, but I thought the Lagoon roll on Cannibal would have made the list and possibly the heaven roll on Iron Rattler. Glad you added the ones on Untamed and The second one on Ride to Happiness as they were less obvious
I think the last barrel roll on colossus thorpe park is incredible
I don't have many credits as of now... not any RMC, and my only Intamin Blitz is ISpeed at Mirabilandia... However, my current favourite inversion ever is easily the Dive Loop on Karacho at Tripsdrill. If you sit on the right side of the train, you get whipped through it so hard, getting laterals and airtime, and then you get smashed with positives on the valley. Such a wild moment, and it comes near the end of the layout, you're not even going that fast, so it catches you completely off-guard, I love it.
One of my favorite inversions is the upside down part at the end of the vertical lift on Maurer Skyloops. The hangtime is insane
The second inversion on Hyperia looks like it will be worthy of this list once it opens
My favorite is the 2nd vertical loop on desert storm. One of the goofiest loops ever made but it’s so fun and the intensity and profiling are something else.
Banshee's pretzel knot followed by a vertical loop is a continuous onslaught of Gs.
Full throttle at magic mt Big loop is pretty unique for a vertical loop, stalls out pretty good.
Yeah, the jojo roll on Ride To Happiness is a killer inversion, best intro to any coaster. If you know how to ride it, it just feels like an out of body experience
The pretzel loop on tatsu is crazy
I have to say the Jo-Jo roll on Copperhead strike is my favorite invention. But that's the furthest I traveled to ride coasters.
Drachen Fire Dive Drop on Steel Curtain is a pretty cool inversion. (When the ride is operational)
I actually love the final inversions of Colossus (and presumably Sik by extension if I ever ride it) so much, the consecutive air time is so much fun and it’s what made me realise air time is the number one thing I love about coasters. Booked a trip to PortAventura to experience those zero Gs on Shamballa now!
Eejanaika is like being rolled down a mountain inside a double agitation Maytag on a spin-cycle.
Montus batwing is the most intense element I’ve ever been on, it’s so tight and whippy ( sounds a bit mad ), and I expect it’ll be on this video tbf
The inline twist on banshee is 👌🏻
The last inversion on ArieForce one is even better than the arcade roll, and it’s probably my favorite inversion I’ve done, it felt like what ppl say the mosasarus roll is like (mosasarus roll a bit overrated imo), anyway I swear that final inversion on AF1 pulls 10gs of airtime and 10gs of laterals at the same time, it was not at all comfortable and felt kinda dangerous tbh but I love it anyway
You may not believe this, but I slightly prefer inversions over airtime, explaining why i'm not super crazy about B&M hypers like Behemoth at my home park, Canada's Wonderland (Yukon is my number 2, levi no. 1 because of the speed)
Montu is the best by far...that batwing is so disorienting and the hidden inversion popping in the ground with the trenched areas in the second part ...Simply amazing.
I absolutely love the double inverting 270 degree outbanked side corner on Untamed especially when they don't put you're lapbar fully on you so you float between you're lapbar and you're seat
I honestly think the inversion on Steel Vengeance that feels like your going to go to the right as you rise up but then suddenly twists you down and to the left. That’s a freaky sensation. I also really like flight decks corkscrew at CGA. It starts to rotate then has the briefest stall before really whipping you around. It almost feels like arrow dynamics put a weird transition in the middle of a B&M. Speaking of weird, Tennessee Tornadoes first loop is all over the place with transitions. All of my other favorites are obvious ones already discussed. I just thought these three might be underrated.
did not expect that clip of stunt pilot at the beginning lmao
There is a few cool elements on monster at adventureland in iowa. The stall being awesome and the tightened corkscrew at the end.
_Superb video!_ I'm a wood coaster guy, but I love some inversions. Y'all have good taste! _Schwartzkopf loops!_ Shock Wave's 2 loops are my favorite! The positive Gs are crushing, the loops _fast_ & fun. I _love_ having only that skinny lap bar, the loud, unique sound of those 45-year-old loops, the gray cloud creeping into my eyes, these loops are _the best!_ The first drop of Storm Chaser is bizarre & fun! I call it a "corkscrew drop." It's a perfect, zero G inversion & drop. A unique beginning of a _very powerful_ coaster! Another favorite is the ending of Outlaw Run. _Wow!_ A wicked, fast double Zero G Roll climbing out of that deep, dark wooded ravine, floating effortlessly, hauling ass, then banking perfectly into the brakes. Magnificent! It's also a dadgum _wood coaster_ for this wood coaster guy!
Mine are pretty basic. I love the zero G roll on Kumba, Zero G stall on Goliath, and the batwing on Afterburn.
Glad to se my baby Zadra here 🥹❤
Tatsu’s pretzel loop is the reason I get headaches on all rollercoasters now. Never been the same since - which sucks as an enthusiast 😭
The interlocked batwing and cobra roll on the smiler is known as the “Staffordshire knot”
I think the inline twist on X-Flight is noteworthy because of the back-to-back near miss elements. There's really no other wing coaster in America that has that kind of offset (vertical, then horizontal) head and leg chopper effect.
Alpengeist Cobra Roll for me. Thing tries to launch you across the river into lochness
My first WTF moment on a coaster inversion was my first time riding on Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFOG. That pretzel loop was like nothing before it and such an inversion on any other type of coaster would have some forces that humans are not well adapted to.
Iron Gwazi's death roll is way better than the Mosasaurus roll if you get it when it's warmed up. The Mosasaurus roll is crazy, sure, but man, when Iron Gwazi is hauling (or at least I think I got it when it was hauling. If it wasn't then I really want to know what that would feel like since it already didn't feel legal) it's just not comparable. The Mosasaurus roll doesn't quite feel like it's trying to kill you.
I'll also put in a good word for Kumba's Zero-G. It's almost as good as the Mosasaurus roll to be frank.
I see you rockin the smiler shirt! that coaster legit had one of the best marketing campaigns ever!
storm runner my beloved
Hmm I love how different we all are. For me, my favourite inversions were dive loops and zero g rolls UNTIL stalls came out. When you said you don't think they would be anyone's favourite inversion, well, stalls with lap bars are mine, as I am obsessed with hang time. In fact, I even like those carnival rides that just hang you there for an obscene amount of time and you can feel your body fighting against the lap bar the entire time, like Rangers. See for me, stalls on coasters are finally giving coasters that flat ride hang feeling.
That said, the blue fire roll spinning on Steel Taipan is very up there for me, and I am sorry you didn't get to do the spinning car when you were here. If only they would loosen the magnets and let the spin be a lot more gravity driven like in Ride to Happiness, it would be even better. Steel Taipan was more like Time Traveller in this regard (which I did ride last year on my US odyssey trip) but still very disorienting and a bucket load of fun. The upcharge price is outrageous so it's a once per park visit for the majority of us, unfortunately.
Next year is US again then Europe for one big mega 3 month tour, so finally, RTH.
Back to inversions, I love Cannibal's dual roll due to the stupid hangtime.
I don't know if I have a favourite, for me it's more inversions I DON'T like. I do NOT like Immelmans and I do NOT like Cobra Rolls. Every time I see a multi looper without them I say "Hooray"!
You missed Steel Curtain's Dracon fire dive drop. I would say it's pretty insane.
Sarah that shade of blue is very flattering on you
When I first started getting into coasters, inversions were honestly the least intimidating part, other than Pretzel loops which freaked me out quite a bit. I would get more nervous about height and drops more than anything else.
We're the opposite. I rode Skyrush before I ever rode a coaster with inversions, even though you've got a literal family coaster with an inversion next door lol. And it was Galexyland's Mindbender to get me to be ok with inversions. Not the coaster journey you expect to hear at all. And in December I finally redeemed my biggest regret dating back to 2013 when I was taken to Silver Dollar City as part of my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary when I returned to Silver Dollar City and got Outlaw Run as my 350th credit.
The loop on Firehawk was my favorite inversion 😢
You can still experience such a loop on Nighthawk at Carowinds. 🫡
Just love you guys! 🧡
I'm still a total roller coaster novice but I loved that slow spin near the end of Banshee.
The vertical loop on Batwing at Six Flags America is INTENSE. Flying Dutchman coasters are underrated. Oh and who can forget the stand-up zero G roll on Shockwave at Drayton Manor? It's not so much crazy as just pure fun.
Love the video, but I would recommend a part 2!! After looking in the comments and the reviews down here as well. And I have a suggestion, and I’m home park biased for this, but personally I have to say the first inversion on steel curtain into the first drop has to be up there. The sensation and the height of it is just unmatched on and off the ride.
I think X2’s backflip airtime hill and Twisted Colossus’ stall when dueling are two of my favorites
Great video! Nice to see some UK coasters getting some love too. I really enjoy both The Smiler and Sik.
My favorite inversion is the zero g roll on skyrocket at kennywood
The inversions on Ride to Happiness are fantastic. My WOW moment was the inversions after the second Launch. One moment you watch the sky, the othwr moment the plaza. The Jojo roll is great in the front even better in the back. F.L.Y.s in versions are fantastic as well. The hangtime makes that Ride. The inversions on Condor are good if you ignore the 'comfort' of the slc. Untamed is my first RMC and the hangtime was not as enjoyable as Ride to Happiness.
The loop on Full Throttle is incredible.
Special shout-out to the stall on the green side on which travels on top of the blue side's airtime hill on Twisted Colossus at Magic Mountain if you can get a ride with both trains being synchronized. Sure looks epic !
You guys and Canobie Coaster are my two favorite coaster channels.
I’m surprised the rolls on Kumba and shockwave didn’t make the list
My favorite loop of all time is the gigantic pretzel loop from Tatsu. It’s unreal how much gforce you get on that thing.
