Rides with Inversions?

[champ.49er]

OK, call me chicken, but I just don't do rides with inversions (upside down). I know WDW has one that I know of (Rock n Roller Coaster), but does anyone have a list of Universal Studios and IoA rides with inversions? I'd just like to take those rides off my to-ride list.

Thanks again.

Hulk and Dragon's Challenge are the only rides that go upside. It should be noted that Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey goes on your back, but not fully upside down. Also Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit has an uninverted loop, which basically twists so you are never completely upside down, this you will be able to see prior to riding so you can judge for yourself.

I went many years without doing inversions... then I tried it, and instantly felt terrible -- terrible that I waited so long to try it!

If it's not something that would ruin your life, you might want to give it a try at some point. You never know...

I do not understand this irrational fear people have of inversions on roller coasters!! Simple physics tells you that the centrifugal force far exceeds gravity. Therefore at the top of the loop you are actually pushed harder into your seat than you are when you're sitting in the loading station. It's all mental. If you close your eyes you wouldn't even know you were upside down. Give it a try!

You said it yourself: irrational. Can't fault people for simply being scared. While you and I might bring out a pendulum during an inversion, most just don't care.

I've rode on an inversion ride twice. Same ride on the same day and didn't like either ride. Every person is different, so these rides are not one size fits all.

When I used to race cars, people were scared at the speeds I reached, but these were the same people who rode the thrill rides that I couldn't handle, so let's be fair and don't expect people to be like us.

Thanks WWEDUDE for answering the question.

I hope you don't think I was judging. Just sharing my own experience -- but clearly, you've already tried them and didn't like them.

If you close your eyes during the inversion, you will never know you went upside down. I learned this as a kid. Now as an adult, it doesn't bother me. I am glad that my parents pushed me to ride when I was scared as a kid, and I just don't agree with the people that scream not to get kids on them when they are scared. If you get them to face that fear early on, they will not be scared of anything later.
