Best B&M collection?

[colossus]

What park do you think has the best B&M collection?

Name the park the rides (it has to be more then 1)and why you think its the best.

Freakin Alton Towers!

 

Nemesis, God..Its SOO Good! *Grabs Tissue Box*

 

Air, a pretty good Flying Coaster..but Tatsu wins.

 

Oblivion, An Awesome Coaster Also..never seen anything like it

[ParkTrips]

Lets see, here are the ones that came to mind, allow me to think out loud - here is how I would rank them in respect to each park

 

BGT - Kumba | Montu | Sheikra

IOA - Fire | Ice | Hulk

SFG-adv - Nitro | Medusa | Batman | Superman

SFOG - Goliath | Scorcher | Batman | Superman

SFMM - Riddler's | Batman | Tatsu | Scream

 

BGT beats IOA becase I dont think any of IOA's rides touch Kumba and Montu. Of the Six Flags parks, the Batman clones cancel each other out because I don't find any of them superior to the others. Great Adventure and Georgia also have Superman, but Georgia's is better by a good bit. Goliath also beats Nitro be the slightest of margins, and even though Medusa beats the Scorcher I have to give the slight edge to Georgia. While Riddler's may not tough Goliath, it does beat its direct competition (Scorcher), Tatsu beats Superman by far, and Scream is a solid ride that makes SFMM my pick there. Now, against BGT... again, none of their rides can match up to Kumba and Montu.

 

 

So yea... Kumba and Montu carry BGT for me, and Sheikra provides a little help with the quantity.

[USRoadTripper]

I'd say either SFoG with Goliath, Batman, Georgia Scorcher and Superman: Ultimate Flight...or BGA with Montu, Kumba and Skeikra. That's a very tough call!

[Jumboshrmp]

I would also say BGT. An incredible collection of B&M coasters.

 

SHeikra and Montu, my top two favorite roller coasters, as well as Kumba.

[BarryH]

The good B&Ms are in Florida!

 

BGT: Kumba, Sheikra, Montu

IOA: Hulk, Dueling Dragons

Sea World: Kraken

[SpartanTS]

I'm going with SFOG.

[robbalvey]

I'll go with BGT/BGA: Kumba | Montu | Sheikra

 

IMO, even the SF parks with multiple B&Ms just don't stack up.

 

Neither a Batman clone or S:UF come close to Kumba & Montu for me so that counts out SFOG, SFGam, or SFGAdv.

 

I'm not really into stand ups that much, so that counts out SFMM, SFOG, SFGam.

 

And none of the floorless coasters are as good as Kumba, IMO, so that counts out SFMM and SFGadv.

 

So yeah, BGT/BGA is the clear winner for me, with honestly Alton Towers probably being a close second.

 

If I had to chose a SF park with a bunch of B&M's I'd probably pick SFOG. S:UF and Batman kind of cancel each other our since they're in many parks, but I like Goliath better than Nitro or Bull and I like Scorcher better than Iron Wolf and Riddler's.

[major bummer]

IOA: Fire Ice Hulk

SFMM : all the B&M coasters there

Alton Towers: Oblivion AIR Nemesis

BGT : Kumba Montu Sheikra

SFMW : medusa

[shesaidboom]

Out of the parks I've been to, definately BGT. Montu.

[colossus]

You guys pick one whats your favorite dont name them.

IMO

sfmm has the best collection

scream-may be a clone but very fun

batman-may be a clone but really intense,better then some other inverts.

Riddler-everything i like in a coaster tall,fast and long

tatsu-just only the best flyer ever

[ECZenith]

BGA Hands down. Kumba is still one of my favorite B&Ms to this day and Sheikra is my #4 favorite coaster. Montu is just the icing on the cake...

[Wes]

For me, it's IOA.

[pkdcoaster]

Good question.

 

I would really like to say BGA due to Kumba being so Awesome, Montu CAN be good but much like Alpengeist but you have to rate it on the normal operation.

 

If Alp was running like it did in 1997 with Apollo they would be up there too (plus Griffon )

 

But I would have to give it to SFGAd personally

 

I loved Nitro when I rode it, Batman is always awesome, Medusa is great and Superman is decent.

 

I will see how they are running next week and see if my opinion still holds.

For me it would be PW

 

Yeah I know it only has 2 B&M's, but both seriously kick ass. Plus I never had to wait for both of them.

[Homer]

Another vote for BGT here. Kumba kicks ass, Montu would kick more ass if Busch would ever tone down on the trims, and SheiKra has the great amount of air.

 

Then, for second and third places;

 

IOA: Again, they have a decent collection and some of the best theming.

SFOG: (I last visited Pre-Goliath, can't say anything about it yet), Scorcher is a stand-up that reminds me of an Anton, Batman: The Clone is eh, Superman is great at SFOG since it was custom made for this park (before SF wanted to clone it).

[rollermonkey]

I have to vote Alton as I haven't been to BGA since the season Kumba opened.

[redfoot12]

This pours salt on the wound of Drachen Fire. If only BM had constructed it...

 

For now, I'll say SFoG but I'm going to try to visit BGA and IoA this fall. Can't wait.

 

Does Cedar Point automatically win for best collection of Intamins?

[the_rock401]

BGT going away. The Montu-Kumba-Sheikra trifecta is hard to beat by any three coasters in one park, with the possible exception of the Wisconsin Dells Woodies (Hades, Cyclops, Avalanche).

 

SFGAm isn't all that great (Iron Wolf, S:UF, Batman, and Raging Bull, with the Bull being the best of the bunch), SFMM's are about on par with SFGAm (I thought Riddler was hard on the quads and knees, Scream wasn't anything to write home about) and I haven't been to anywhere else with multiple Beemers on site.

BGA for me. Kumba is one of the most intense looper I have been on, period. Montu is seriously sweet with the Batwing. It's right under Raptor when it comes to my rankings.

Then there is SheiKra. The original dive machine in the US with s crap load of airtime off the backseat. Hell even the front seat. With that said, BGA is tops when it comes to beemers.

 

Hell FL is top notch when it comes to Beemers period!

[Scaparri]

1. BGT- Sheikra, Montu, and Kumba... seriously are all top ten rides. Freakin' amazing

 

2. IOA- Fire, Ice, Hulk. Again, stellar rides, but not quite as good as BGT

 

3. SFOG- SUF and Scorcher are decent rides, but it's Batman and especially Goliath that really make it stand out. If it weren't for Goliath, SFOG would plummet.

[mr_teisco_delrey]

BGA all the way. 3 great Beemers. The free beer(off topic) ices it!

[DailyBugle_JL]

I have to go with BGT over every other wanna be. Next year my mind might change when Griffon opens. It will be a tough decision but BGT will probalbly win since its closer.

 

Kumba > Apollo

Montu < Alpengiest

Sheikra ? Griffon

[Hercules]

When I saw the thread I immediately thought of Great Adventure. That might just be because I frequent the place often though. After really thinking about it though, I think I'm going to have to say SFOG. With the addition of Griffon next year, BGW/BGE will be close, but I think I have to go with the quantity for the slight advantage. Besides, a Batman clone beats Alpengeist any day.

[tinhead]

For me its BGT they have the best. Then Alton Towers a close second..
