^B&M did work for Intamin up until they built Iron Wolf, but Intamin didn't develop their own similar track-to-wheel assembly setup until several years after.

I hear what you're saying, and that's true to an extent. I'm just basing it on the fact that B&M's could consistantly be counted on to be intense throughout the 90's, but nearly all of them built since 2000 have been considerably weaker. The park may have a lot of influence over the direction of the ride, but B&M obviously had some change of direction since that time. I just find it hard to believe that parks that were previously getting intense B&M's all of a sudden asked for them to be toned down.

Finally we get another old school B&M. I guess the trick nowadays is to specifically tell them to build an intense coaster if you don't want to end up with something like Silver Bullet or Hydra. If any coaster is going to be the one that proves B&M hasn't completely lost their touch, Black Mamba looks to be it.

Adrenaline Heights. I'm copyrighting that name the minute I'm able to.

I think the biggest difference is that Intamins tend to vibrate at high speeds while B&M's are usually smooth at almost any speed. I always get that "solid" feel when I ride B&M's that I don't really feel on Intamins. It's kind of like driving a well made car compared to one with lots of squeaks and rattles. I believe they both use spring-loaded wheel assemblies that can pivot independently from the train in small incriments but, B&M's are just made with a higher quality as shown by their slightly smoother ride across all speeds.
