Coasters that you'd love to experience backward

I'm pretty much in the 'none' camp, but, I'd happily do a couple; Oblivion, Stealth, TTD etc wouldn't be too sickly, Anything with more than 1 or 2 elements is a no.
 
I'm another one who isn't a fan of backwards, but I reckon something that launches like Stealth wouldn't be too bad.

Mr. Freeze was drastically improved when it was reversed.

Huh? It's a shuttle coaster... They probably just tightened up the tolerances in the wheel assemblies.

It sounds weird, but it makes sense. I haven't been on reverse Freeze, but I rode Superman Escape at MM forward and backward. There is something to seeing the ground rush away from you going up the spike, and then falling back down staring at it. You get a much better sense of the height you are at.

Not sure if there would be any traditional coasters I would WANT to turn around.

This is true. And in the case of Mr. Freeze you were already experiencing everything in both directions, but I hate the backwards launch. Last time I rode it, I got mild whiplash. I won't ride it again until they turn it back around.
 
A B&M flying coaster backwards sounds cool. I wonder how a backwards pretzel loop would feel.
 
Yeah, I'd like to try any ride. While it may ruin some, I'd be interested to see how they turn out.

Looking at my list of creds, the ones I'd specifically choose:

Boulder Dash - backwards would make it even more insane
TTD - mainly for the top hat
Verbolten - it's a really fun ride, so I feel that backwards would be just as fun
Maverick - I'm actually not too sure if I'd like this one backwards, but I'm interested...
Griffon (or another DM) - first drop and you get to see the water splash :D
Untamed (or another Eurofighter) - vertical lift hill facing down, beyond 90 degree drop, compact layout.
