My favorite element in any of the sfgam roller coasters is the pretzle loop on superman, I like it because you get sucked back into your seat and feel all the g's, its the best.

My Favorite has to be demon's first drop back row. I get soooo much air and I love it. By far better then bulls first drop in my mind. :)
Watch out theres a new Hurricane in Gurnee, IL!

That's a good question. It's tough to choose, but here is my list:

1. Bulls first drop-back row
2. Deja Vu Cobra Roll
3. Superman Pretzel loop
4. Deja Vu first tower (waiting to drop)
5. V2 hold on straight spike (it always freaks people out when it makes that noise)
6. Eagle Red First Drop
7. Viper air time
8. B-TR--Trying to collect your dizzy head on the brake run
9. V2-acceleration of the LIMS
10. I can't think of a 10th, but they're all cool!
I'm gonna twist ya, and I'm gonna flip ya. Every time you squeal, I'm just gonna go faster and harder.

Can't choose a favorite. I'll make a list of my favorites...

-BTR's zero-g-roll
-Deja Vu's Cobra
-SUF's Pretzel Loop
-SUF's zero-g-roll
-RB's first drop
-V2's launch

I like all of those elements equally. :)

Would have to say these:

1) Viper's third drop (double-dip) with the head choppers.
2) RB's first drop, AWESOME AIRTIME!
3) Being carried up backwards up the first DV tower, love the feeling of hanging there by your harness.
4) Pretzel Loop- SUF

Good times!
SFGAM: next trip: Soon!
RB: 3, Demon: 0, AE: 5, Whizz: 2, DV: 0, Vip: 4, IW: 1, Bat: 2, V2: 1, SUF: 0, RC: 1

The top 5 for me are:

1. Viper's last hill sitting in 1:3 or 2:1. Ejector airtime.
2. Raging Bull's first drop in back row.
3. First Drop/Cobra Roll going frontwards on Deja Vu front row.
4. Batman's 2nd loop and upward helix.
5. Demon's first drop in back row.

Those are just a few of my favorite's.
Go Bulls!

overall, B&M's zero-g rolls. honorable mentions, in no particular order:

Deja Vu's second tower, front row
Deja Vu's loop backwards
Viper's last hill, back row
Eagle Blue's first drop, last row
Superman's pretzel loop
everything on Batman after the high turn around, outter-most left seat
Shockwave's first drop and loop
Whizzer's dive into the pond
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Viper's last hill. On May 1st, it didn't matter where in the train you sat. It was pure ejector air everywhere! :D

My favorite is RB's first drop in the backrow, 3rd seat, of the red train. I only say this because for some reason that seat won't click down really far, so I always get tremendous air time.
Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2
Coaster Count: 444

First place goes to RB in the back row on the first drop

Second place goes to anywhere on Viper... ;)

Third goes to the Pretzel Loop on S:UF

The upward helix on Batman and the Superman pretzel loop are probably my favorites.
