Inclined dive loop? Neat element, but not really an inversion.
Mine is most definitely the cobra roll, with this one being my favorite of them all:

^Well rcdb classifies it as an inversion, as does the park.
Mine is by far Manta's pretzel in the back, great stuff right there. -

Interesting.
The oblique loops on B&M's standups are borderline cases and Hydra's inclined dive loop looks/seems (from POV videos) to be even less "inverting".
Chang for a comparison:

Maverick Offline
Schwarzkopf vertical loops, followed closely by X's "I'm going to turn you whatever way I feel like it" inversions.
Runner Ups would have to include the vertical loops on the Vekoma flyer models (X-Flight/Firehawk and BORG/Nighthawk), and the zero-g roll on B&M inverteds (Raptor, Talon, B:TR, B:TR, Alpengiest, Top Gun, Great Bear...the few I'm familier with) -

Zero G Rolls, B&M Inverted Coaster Wingovers (especially BTR wingovers), and airtime camelback hills! -

In order, Shockwave's loops (inversions in its purest form), Superman Zero-G(floating in the restriants especcially in the middle seats), Mr. Freeze's tophat, Poltergeist's corkscrew, Goliaths last wingover, poltergiest's Roll out(awesome finalle, same for goliath), Ultra Twister's heartline, Superman's loop(hangtimes). -

Air's inversions, Black Mamba's zero-g-roll and second corkscrew, Formule X's weird inversion with insane hangtime, Abismo's lifthill and the whole inversion sequence of Nemesis. -
Airtime Offline
Really??^ Air is just about the only coaster at Alton that I don't care about riding
Nemesis' Zero-G and the last wingover <3
But mostly Drayton Manor's Shockwave's Zero-G, standup zero gforce goodness. -

i'm kinda all for the traditional loop...somethin about it can never be outdone, though cobra rolls are pretty sweet.

Air is by far my favourite coaster ever ridden. -

Batwing. BTW fraroc, this thread might go a little further if you changed it to "Favorite Element". -

Its and inclined dive loop, I always called it and oblique immelmann. Ispeed has that too, but that one is an actual immelmann, not a dive loop (people get those 2 mixed up all the time) -

I love the twisted horseshoe roll on Maverick, which is one of 2 coasters in the world to have it (the other is blue fire Megacoaster @ EPG). I love overbank turns, which most dont consider to be inversions but are still sweet.
