Favorite type of B&M Coaster?
alpengeistfan1 replied to MummyAW's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I actually find some B&Ms very intense. In particular the helixes on their hyper coasters, such as Nitro, and coasters like Batman. Batman is one of the most intense coasters I've been on actually. But besides those examples, I see what you mean. Their inversions always seem more "spread out." -

The Batman clones don't do it for me, there's nothing really special about them. I like more spread out inverts like Great Bear and Alpengeist. But my favorite type has to be hyper, nothing better than the fun feeling of Nitro and Apollos Chariot. Also, the seats are BEAST. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

No like the coaster train actually goes into the water, like fully underwater. No tunnel, and you're fully submerged -

One time I was talking with my friend, and he said "I wish there was a coaster that went UNDER the water!" And I said "Yeah there's one at this park called Kings Dominion" and I went to show him a picture. Afterwards he said "No I mean like actually through the water, so you're actually hitting the water!" -

Didn't at the announcement they said the first riders would use the QR reader on their phone to get something around the park and enter a contest through that? Or something along the lines of that? -

I like the coaster, but I agree with everyone over the fighting of floorless seats. It's definitely going to slow down the loading unless Hershey does something unique with the queue. And a minor complaint, the ride seems WAY too short. The statistics said 63 seconds for the whole ride I think? -

Scroll down a bit for a 10 page binder thing they found at the park. I didn't have anything in finding this, credit goes to HPCrazy and Walter White. http://keystonethrills.megabb.com/t250p1050-attraction-2012-rumor-and-news-discussion -

There's a down facing arrow here, at the end fadeout of the video. Is this just a logo or could it be more? -
