Favorite Inversion

Raptor's first loop from the front seat. Nothing beats that!

Whats life if you never get to the point?

uh-oh, inversions on MF?????
This could get ugly folks...:)

Mine is the cobra roll on Raptor

My favorite is the dive loop on the Mantis followed closely by the first loop on the Raptor. Both of these elements have good timing and smoothness.

Hey, Rideman brings up a good point if the Mantis's inclined loop counts as an inversion than MF's banks should count. CP still has a record, World's highest, fastest, steepest Looping roller coaster lol!!! By the way Zero-g roll on Raptor baby!!!

That has to be the flat out FUNNIEST thing I've ever seen on this board. Good job Rob!

I vote for the Raptor Cobra Roll.

The MF overbanks are either the steepest non-inverting turns, or the tallest inversions. Not both. Since the marketing folks decided on "steepest non-inverting turns" for the ad campaign, I say they are not inversions.

Personally, I like the non-inverted inversions. ;)

Raptor's zero gravity roll.

Do the Safety Dance in line, you won't flip over the hand rails!

I like the hop and loop on Corkscrew.

MF's overbanked turns should NOT count. For one, you don't go upside down! How can they count if you don't go upside down?

The 'lateral loop' on Mantis, however, you do go upside down. It's as simple as that

Well, the way I look a it is like this. The "steepest non-inverted turns" are only supposed to by 122 degrees. However, the first turn is really 126 degrees. So since they first claimed it to the steepest non-inverted turn to be 122, 126 must be inverted. Therefore, they are inversions.

The above is technical information that I listed to prove my point. However, even if this weren't true, I'd count them as inversions anyway.

Am I the only one who likes the corkscrew part of the Corkscrew?

The Inline loop on Mantis basically is the same thing as the inverted turns on MF. The Inline loop never reaches 180, 0 or wherever your measuring your azimuth from. My guess is that loop banks around 150 degree's.

The only difference between the two is MF's "loops" cut the other way instead of circling back over itself.

I want the CP marketing department to do a inversion recount.

hmmm...First turn - you look 'up', you see the ground. 'nuff said.

Raptor cobra roll is still my fav. :-)

I Am partial to the first inversion on the CORKSCREW :)

mikey :)

hey Cp bound, good point.

But when they said "steepest non-inverted turn" aren't they referring to inverted coasters, like raptor or iron dragon?

That's how I interpreted it. -As the steepest turn on a coaster with track BENEATH the ride.

(so I figured that inverted coasters have a steeper bank)

The one and only first ever zero-g roll on RaPtOr created by B&M.:)
