Which ride would be the best backwards?

If Cedar Point put all the coaster's trains backwards, which one do you think would be the best?
Gemini sure ran well backwards.
Jr. Gemini..definitely. ;) No, for real, probably Raptor
-----------------
I think that someone must have surveillance
equipment set up in my living room,because every once in a while, someone on
the TV will tell me what channel I'm watching.
That really freaks me out, you know?
Raptor would be one crazy ride backwards.  

Then again, wouldn't every ride be crazy backwards?

Think about going down the MF hill backwards!  I remember dreaming doing that by the way.  I think that would be so cool!  I would also have to say Raptor because it is so twisted frontwards.
-----------------
If there's bugs on your shirt, you had a good ride.
Also, don't forget Mean Streak...it's had a lot of practice.

I've turned around on the drop of MF before when I was in the back seat and it looks pretty sweet.

CP_bound I've done the same, it is pretty intense, and seems to last a lot longer. 

 

I think the best ride to ride backwards would be Banshee!  Imagine that first turn, and diving loop!

-----------------
Former name was B-Town

Gemini for sure! Magnum would be cool, but imagine going up the second hill...your body would be forced into the seat in front of you, thats pain!

Live for FUN!

Don't let life fly by.

I could just be trippin here, but somewhere on Danimation I heard that one park lets riders stand backwards on one of their standups (not turn the trains around, but just let the riders stand backwards in the harnesses).  It would be extremely wird, and I guess it would work, maybe just a bit uncomfortable.  Any input on this?
Just a thought. What if the trains on the MS were redesigned in a faceoff type of manner. Half the people would be seated forward, half in reverse. That would be kewl.
Gemini will be pretty good backwards when they flip one of the trains for halloweekends :) . It will make smacking hands a bit strange though.

...will...?

Just wishful thinking...?

I was thisclose to seeing Gemini run backwards on Father's Day.
Has anyone ever thought about Power Tower with the seats facings towards the tower? On the space shot side that would be pretty cool.

A lap bar is all you need!

Dude, Power Towers would suck like that, you couldn't see anything. A lot of the ride's excitement is seeing everything. I'd vote for Millenium Force in the very back (front normally). Just think about that. If you ever happen to go to Kings Island, ride the backwards racer in that seat and you get so much airtime. It's pretty sweet, believe it or not. And one more thing... SON OF BEAST is the biggest dissapointed to roller coasters ever.

Jamin is the coolest worker at Cedar Point.
Power Tower upside down, perhaps?

- Raptor Dave

I would say VertiGo, but half the time it IS upside down anyways...

But Millennium Force would be amazing backwords. First going up the hill, facing the station, which would be so extreme, then falling down the drop, and all you see is track flying past at 90MPH!

It was Nikki's B-Day and Millennium Force was broken down... Coincidence?

allegedly mantis is good backwards. bob from memphis told me
The "will" in my statement above was strictly as a joke. I don't have any inside info and wouldn't pretend to. It "would" be cool though...
