The second Stengel dive on Maverick is amazing. The most insane lateral air that I have ever gotten. Although, I thought Villian this year was pretty fun, getting air and getting thrown to your side.
I also agree with liebevision, that helix is so damn intense. I love it.
But, I have to say the double down drop (or even triple down ;)) will always be my favorite element. Air time is good. :)
2012 - Magnum XL 200 Crew
Favorite Element at CP: The Return Trip (aka the back, of the Out and Back) of Magnum. Pure Airtime Bliss.
Honorary Mention: The final Raptor Helix, especially when you are in the back row, far left side. One of these days its going to tear off my feet.
Top 5 Elements on a Steel Coaster:
1. Alpengeist's pre midcourse break opening: Twisting drop, Innelman, Vertical Loop, Cobra Roll. Its such a whir that to me its all one element
2. Magnum's Return Trip
3. Phantom's Revenge's Double Down
4. Montu's semi submerged inverted batwing (not a Cobra Roll, if you made it on RCT it would be a rising track, followed by a half corkscrew, half loop, bend back to rising track, half loop, half corkscrew)
5. Raptor's Helix
Top 5 Elements on a Wooden Coaster:
1. The Beast's final 520 degree helix
2. Jack Rabbit's Double Down
3. The Yankee Cannonball's (Canobie Lake Park, Salem, NH) Back of its L-shaped Out and Back, the wooden version of Magnum's return trip
4. Shivering Timber's Out Portion
5. SFGAM's Viper's Double Down
Top 5 Elements on a Non Roller Coaster:
1. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror's Random Drop Sequence
2. The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman's Rise and Fall Sequence
3. The Haunted Mansion's Graveyard Scene
4. The Great Movie Ride's Wizard of Oz Scene
5. The Curse of the Darkastle's Sky Chase Scene/Fall
hmmmmmm..... probably if Maverick would have had the barrel roll perfect, most likely that... but otherwise Maverick's low-to-ground begining. (including drop)
