The Smiler
The world record holder with fourteen inversions, two launches and a layout deliberately built to disorient rather than to go fast.
Inversions14 - 2
Colossus
The first coaster in the world with ten inversions, including a quadruple heartline roll finale over the midway.
Inversions10 - 3
10 Inversion Roller Coaster
Guangzhou's copy of the ten-inversion layout, opened four years after Colossus and still tied for second most inversions in the world.
Inversions10 - 4
Dragon Khan
Held the inversion world record for seven years and still the defining ride of PortAventura's China area, with eight inversions in under two minutes.
Inversions8 - 5
Montu
Seven inversions including an Immelmann and a batwing, with trenches dug into the ground so the train skims past your feet.
Inversions7 - 6
Kumba
An early B&M looper that set the template: a 33 m vertical loop around the lift hill and seven inversions delivered with a famous roar.
Inversions7 - 7
Scream
A floorless seven-inversion layout notorious for being built over a car park — the ride itself is one of B&M's most intense loopers.
Inversions7 - 8
Banshee
The longest inverted coaster in the world, opening with a dive loop straight off the lift and packing seven inversions into 1,257 m.
Inversions7 - 9
Helix
A hillside multi-launch with seven inversions and Scandinavia's best-paced layout.
Inversions7 - 10
Voltron Nevera
Seven inversions, several launches including a spike, and a heavily themed queue — the most complete multi-launch coaster in Europe.
Inversions7 - 11
Alpengeist
Themed to a runaway ski lift and still one of the tallest inverted coasters ever built, with a 51 m drop into six inversions.
Inversions6 - 12
The Riddler's Revenge
The tallest, fastest and longest stand-up coaster ever built, and the last great example of a ride type the industry has since abandoned.
Inversions6 - 13
GateKeeper
Cedar Point's wing coaster flies riders through two keyhole towers above the front gate, with six inversions and no track above or below the seats.
Inversions6 - 14
Raptor
The ride that made the inverted coaster a standard park headliner, with a cobra roll, two corkscrews and a famously forceful first drop.
Inversions6 - 15
Silver Bullet
Six inversions strung out over the middle of Knott's, including a vertical loop and a cobra roll taken directly over the walkways.
Inversions6 - 16
The Incredible Hulk Coaster
A tyre-driven launch inside a tunnel throws the train uphill into a zero-g roll; rebuilt track and a new soundtrack arrived in 2016.
Inversions7 - 17
Untamed
A compact RMC conversion crammed with inversions, and the Netherlands' most intense coaster.
Inversions5 - 18
F.L.Y.
The world's first launched flying coaster, threaded through the rooftops of Rookburgh.
Inversions5 - 19
Batman: The Ride
The original inverted coaster clone: short, snappy and still one of the most forceful minute-long rides in any park.
Inversions5 - 20
Wildcat's Revenge
RMC rebuilt Hersheypark's 1923 Wildcat into a hybrid with the world's largest underflip, keeping the original wooden structure underneath.
Inversions4 - 21
Nemesis Reborn
Britain's most revered coaster: a terrain-hugging inverted layout retracked and relaunched in 2024.
Inversions4 - 22
Jurassic World VelociCoaster
Two launches, a mosasaurus roll over the lagoon, and the tightest theming-to-thrill ratio anywhere.
