Pyrenees; Shima, Japan

Considered to be one of the best rides in the world, this inverted looping coaster is still one of a kind. Its speed is normal, its number of inversions is nothing special, but the thing that sets this coaster apart from the others is one single landmark banked turn:
This tight banked turn through a huge straight loop sets this ride.
Pyrenees has six inversions (two loops, a cobra loop, and a barrel roll) which is nothing special, but the power of these loops is amazing. Said to be the rollercoaster pulling the most g-forces, this ride is almost worth going all the way to Japan worth.
  1. Speed: 7 (62 mph top speed)
  2. Inversions: 10 (best inversions in the world)
  3. Thrill Factor: 10 (one of the best in the world)
  4. Scenery/Theme: 8 (some tunnels late in the ride)
  5. Line Length: 8 (line is not too long)
Total: 9.8
