Best and worst themed B&M

[Satoshi]

the way i'm always thinking would be out of everybody's ideas and

i love the parking lot coasters! they are looking so decent i can see

around the views from the tallest spot. i think riding on coasters in

scratch places with no themed is going to make me blow steams off!

i guess Superman La Atraccion De Acero is good to do that thing.

 

but make sure you'll be kind of lonely when you ride in a scratch

places as PARKING LOT because you also feel these places have

NOTHING except the road or some trees.

 

add: i love Superman La Atraccion De Acero since i've admitted it's

the best ride to blow steams off in a very deserted scratch spot!

best:Black Mamba, Crystal Wings, Katun (only the queue)

 

worst: Scream! the parking theme is really horrible...

Best- Alpengeist

 

Worst- Raptor

[viking86]

worst: two to equal merit....

Scream! and Superman la atraccion de acero.

 

The ride itself on Superman la Attracion de Acero isnt themed, but the station area has some great theming. Ive also heard that it gives some amazing dark rides because theres no lights around the ride.

The only thing about this topic is. A lot of the coasters that are being called worst themed are not even themed.

 

Raptor, Mantis, Scream Medusa, etc.

Those are not themed coasters, rather named.

You have to have more then a name, sign/logo and paint colors to really classify something as themed? Don’t you think?

 

Best themed B&M’s in the US. I think are.

“Haven’t been on any B&M’s overseas, I know I know.”

 

Busch Gardens parks wins hands down for most, best themed B&M’s

 

1. Montu

2. Sheikra

3. Alpengeist

4. Batman – Original installations when they still used all the props/audio and working effects)

 

Worst.

 

1. Dueling Dragons (Could have been so much more, themed station and wheel covers / I listed this as #1. because of what they could of done with this coaster, not that it completely sucks by any means)

2. Hulk (Station, ok. / Trains, ok / Launch. Cool / Theme ends, just a coaster with a couple shells, and the story is lost. They should of enclosed the second half and themed it.

3. Apollo’s Chariot – Disappointed when you compare this coaster with the others in the park. Ride fun, details and theme boring. Fabio getting a broken nose, sweet!

 

There really are not too many truly themed B&M coaster’s in the US when you really think about it.

 

I guess another question for people to add to this topic is what do you consider a themed coaster to be?

 

I choose a detail that reflects a story, place, or event which if not through out the whole ride must have a beginning and ending with some detail through the ride it’s self.

Example, at the end of Batman “when the transfer lights are not on” you return to the Bat cave, etc.

 

 

 

Cheers!

Best themed B&M coaster:

Beyond any doubt: Black Mamba

 

Worst themed B&M:

Hard to say, the ones I've been on were al pretty good (Nemesis, Air, Oblivion, Newmesis Inferno)

 

This Year Í'm going for Dragon Khan, Superman (madrid), Batman (Madrid) and Daemonen (Tivoli, Copenhagen)

Dunno, theme as in concept... or theme as in best executed theme?

 

Best concept goes to Dueling Dragons hands down.

 

Best executed theme Nemesis, Black Mamba, and Batman La Fuga. And DD, really. Cept from what i've seen, the actual ride has no real themeing at all.. it's just the queue. Which is cheating. Trains are uuber sexy though. Maybe Montu too.. dunno, it's like... seems similar to DD to me. Themed on the outside and then LEFT because you can't really see much of the rest.

 

I HATE it when you can't get near coasters. I really bloody hate it. (sez me with my Ultimate avatar...)
