TG:TJC is a very good one
that's Top Gun: The Jet Coaster at Carowinds

I've only been on 2, but b/w Talon & Great Bear, Talon beats Great Bear by a long shot & it's the best invert that I've been on. Hopefully, that'll change after I ride Dueling Dragons, Raptor, Montu, & maybe Alpengeist this summer.

I'm sorry I just don't think any are as good as Alpengeist. Montu is great as is Raptor. Alpengeist has more kick to it than people give it credit for. The DD are great but seem to be too short. That's the knock on BTR, it is fast and fun but just too short. Alpengeist is king.

I dont really care for Inverts. Ive ridden the following:
Raptor
Alpengeist
Great Bear
Thunderhawk (Geauga Lake)
Honestly, I liked the Great Bear the best. I didnt care for alpengeist because it was really disorienting, and raptor was good.
I just liked great bear cuz of the first helix and the overall flow of the ride.

1) Great Bear - going into the first drop with speed is
awesome. Best first drop of any invert
I've ridden.
note: I have yet to ride Alpengeist.
2) Batman (SFGA)
3) Volcano
4) Raptor & Talon

Lol, everytime I think about Alpengeist, even though I haven't rode it, I think about when I watched that coaster special on one of those channels like Discovery, and this employee was forced to ride for the first time. She was hollering so bad, I wanted to tell her to put a sock in it literally!

Annoying is not the word for it man! I mean dang you aren't going to fall out.  But I guess other people's phobias are different from mines!

I believe they encourage those people to act like that thinking it will strengthen the appeal of the ride.

Do you scream on roller coasters? I do, and I'm certainly not scared. It's all part of the fun...

I don't scream, nor do I put my hands up. I just sit there and ride, but I am not enjoying it any more or less than any of you screamers or hand-putter-uppers.

I put my hands up on occasion, but I'm not a big screamer and I'm not really into it when other people do. I do have to say though, that I gave a pretty good "Woooo" going down into the spiral on Kinda Ka. Other than that, I usually just sit back and enjoy the ride and relax just like taco. Sometimes the yellers and screamers get a little annoying to me. Sorry

I never scream, creates too many options for the bugs to fly into my mouth. I will let out an occasional "Oh Sh%#" on good air or unexpected roughness.

Wow, Tacoking, you have to show some type of emotion! That's like being in a great spirit-filled worship experience and everyone is up praising the Lord and you are just sitting there. Get up and clap those hands, Man.

I give more subtle things, like an "oh yea" on Power Surge, which either Cyclonic or Larry responded with "so Joe likes the spin'n'pukes"
Some rides I'd rather keep my hands down to have quiker access to the hand bar in case of roughness.
