Favorite Ride Element

O.K. here's a question to stir up your thaughts. Out of all the coasters at CP (excluding MF, since nobody has been on it yet) What is your single most favorite element of a coaster out of all of the coasters you have been on? Mine would be on Magnum between the end of the first drop to the top of the second hill just before it drops into the tunnel.

Mine is probably the Cobra Roll on Raptor.

Mine would be the extended airtime over the top of Magnum's third hill.

The vertical loop on Mantis...G-Force baby!!

Tough... I have always liked the feeling you get when you reach the top of the hill on Raptor (in the front seat). I too also like the second hill on Magnum just as you shoot through the tunnel.

My second choice is going down the second hill on Magnum into the tunnel.

Millennium+Force=Sweetest Roller Coaster on the Planet

Hmmm...

used to be - first banked turn on Mean Streak before they put trim brakes on the first hill

now - second hill plunge/Magnum (tough to disagree w/everyone else on this one!)

Magnum's first hill looking down then on top of the second hill on magnum. just the view of the lake is great. also i know its not a coaster, but on top of power tower. it is breathtaking.....

At CP it's gotta be Mantis's S-curve and overall it would have to be Volcano's Launch Sequence.

It's either Raptor's Cobra Roll or Mantis' S-Curve. I like the come-out-of-no-where bunny hop on Magnum in the third tunnel. Or second. I don't remember.

Disaster Transport's "S" curve.

Mine would have to be the inclined loop on Mantis. The G's make my legs tingle and it actually gets me dizzy sometimes. The speed through it is just awesome.

Left seat on Raptor all the way down the first hill. Hello stomach :)

Far right, front seat on the Raptor first drop, or First drop on the Gemini. (back seat)
Sorry I have 2 it's too hard to choose. =)

My favorite is definitely the dive loop on Mantis. The speed is unreal pulling out of this thing.

I have to say DT's "S" curve, and Magnum's second hill (It made me say a bad word)

OK, so compared to the above, this is going to sound really stupid, since as an "element", it is pretty lame/tame.

I like the turnarounds on Gemini as long as they have the trains sequenced so that you're actually racing and can slap hands with the folks on the other train*.

As far as what would be considered a legitimate element, I'll have to go with the first inversion on Raptor. It's tight.



*not that I'd actually do this since it would violate Cedar Point's rule that you must keep your hands in the car at all times, but I've heard rumors that some people might do this. :)

It's not just for Penn State fans anymore!

I like the 360 degree roll the raptor does after the verticle loop. It comes as total suprise because it is hard to see the track twisting.

I like going up the Raptor lift hill.
