Skyrush - I echo what's been said.
El Toro's ejector hill - wtf.
X2 - I echo what's been said.
The Beast at night - The entire thing really, but right before the second lift I always find myself holding on as I feel like the ride is simply gaining too much speed and a derailment is imminent.
Montana Infinitum (Magnum Force) - The restraint system includes a lap bar and a vest. Yes, they're both necessary. The entire ride is Skyrush intense.

Call me jaded, but TTD and Oblivion stopped being "insane" to me after their singular trick were duplicated over and over.
Stuff like I-305 at opening, the Arrow/S&S 4Ds and Voyage, OTOH? Jiminy christmas. No matter how many times you ride, they just disorient the hell out of you.

Pretty much every drop and hill on skyrush
the slam into the lapbar airtime on formule 1 at parc st paul
The brutal transitions on a fabbri spinner
and the 4 consecutive inversions on colossus

Yeah, WTF was that all about? It's such a simple element but full of all kinds of confusion.
I also loved the way Stampida splits the track at the top of the lift hill. So you're racing up the lift hill, then suddenly the other train has vanished and you're racing alongside empty track - then suddenly the other train heads straight towards you. Fantastic bit of insane design, completely out of the box thinking.

*The top of Dragster's top hat when you can see for miles and your ears pop.
*Maverick (virtually all of it)
*Any and all transitions on I-305
*Son of Beast's loop was pretty insane
*That helix after the drop on The Beast. I know it won't but I ALWAYS feel like the train's just going to shake the structure down.
*All of Ninja at SFOG (that thing HURTS!!!)
*Mystery Mine's horseshoe turn, drop, and dive loop

Voyage from the second hill onwards. Such win.
Hulks Zero-G of win
Legend is pretty **** insane, but the helix and last turn take the cake.
The Minetrain at SFGAdv. Its last drop over the lake is such random airtime.
RFII, just pure awesomesauce
Steel Phantoms loop and batwing were pretty powerful without the trims hitting
X2 has the drop and the Zero-G for me.
Duelling Dragons loops were scary as hell when riding cause you werent really ready for the sight of the other train
Twister (Knoebles) I just remember this being so laterally intense that i thought I would have busted a rib or something.

Skyrush's first turn and air time hill. I have yet to ride Intimidator though.

-TTD's launch. I still get nervous...even after about 100 rides on the thing.
-The Beast's second drop. It feels like you're dropping forever, then BAM! You hit the tunnel and then the laterals slam you to the right. The first time I rode it, I felt like the train was going to fall apart, haha.
-Maverick's first drop and first airtime hill. In the back, the drop just slings you over so hard. It is still the only coaster that makes my stomach come up into my mouth on the drop. Oh yeah and that first airtime hill...damn.
-Jack Rabbit's (Kennywood) double drop. I swear my butt came off the seat like 6".

I'm going to throw Banshee's batwing into the conversation.
Batwings tend to have very high positive G's in the bottom between the inversions, and this is the lowest point of the course, so it should be moving awfully quick at that moment.
Sounds delicious.

Ultimate's 2nd half and Grand National's 1st drop on a good day.

Ya, leviathan has some pretty crazy elements. The first drop feels like it will never end, and the speed hill provides some great air. Also find the G forces in the last couple valleys of the ride to be pretty strong.jolash said:
Many other rides in that park are also pretty intense as well, with the park's Togo standup being strangely intense (more intense than Leviathan IMO), with crazy high G forces and great floater/ejector airtime throughout.
Sticking with the theme of crazy Canadian rides, the Mindbender at the Edmonton mall pulls some mental Gs in the loops, and IMO is as smooth as any B&M I've rode.
Finally, I know this isn't a coaster, but I have to mention this ride, as it's actually better than a lot of coasters I've rode... The ride in question, the almighty king of the carnival from Kansas... The Chance Zipper. Yes, I know this ride looks sketchy, but looks can be deceiving. It's got Wickedly high G forces when the capsule flips over the end of the boom, and on occasion can provide some killer ejector air depending on how you're positioned during the ride. Also, on top of all this, the ride is actually very smooth (as most flats seem to be for me), and the design of the capsule allows for great freedom of movement.
