What is your favorite Helix on a coaster at CP? CCMR? Raptor? Gemini?

Personaly, I like Raptors becuase it is so intense, but CCMR becuase its so smooth.

I have to say Raptor, I just love how it's so intense and pulls your face apart and maintains a steady g-force that gradually climbs up to it's peak and suddenly you whip out of it. It's funny looking at your photo and all of your veins sticking out of your neck. I LOVE Raptor's helix!!!

I love Gemini's finishing helix. To me, it always feels like the car is going to fall off of the track or you are going to fall out of the car.

My loyalty prompts me to pick the Gemini helix, but since I've been on the ride so many times, it doesn't hold the same excitement it used to for me. My sense of adventure picks Raptor!

The Mine Ride, for both the fun value of it and the nostalgic value for me.

What about the Wildcat's two helixs. Although my favorite is Raptor, my second id Wildcats. Both are intense, one in a big way, and one in a scaled down version.

But raptor and CCMR still win my vote.

I was going to to say Mantis but I lean towards Gemini. My dad and I would ride Gemini at least 10 times every summer when I was a youngin. My dad would always try and scare me by saying "Oh yeah, that last turn where the cars split, someone usually gets ripped out of the train and dies every year", or to something of that effect.

How about Iron Dragon, does that count as a helix? It is the only good part of the ride!

Gemini looks really cool when the 2 trains are almost even, then split in opposite direction, going through the helix.

Magnum's turnaround MIGHT be considered two helixes... well two 1/2 helixes...

by defination a helix is a curve that constantly changes height, remember that much and think about it (sorry i'm typing with a broken finger0)

Magnum's is more of a butterfly, and Iron Dragon has a pretzel. Personally, I like any part of the ride with force and speed!

What about Corkscrew?? The "Corkscrew" part os the ride that goes over the midway ( where all the blue seats are ) is always referred to as the Corkscrew Helix.. is that not considered a Helix?
