Calicoasters Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Awesome accomplishment! Which one was the most "out of the way" to get? I'm guessing Lightning?
Steelinwood Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Will you be going to china anytime soon? Great report, I love B&M's!
Dr.Shadey Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Wow! That's incredible, thank you for sharing. I know several people have asked about your favorite, but if not that specific, do you have a favorite style? Like invert, floorless, etc.? Â I wish I could marry a B&M.
Noxegon Posted May 30, 2010 Author Posted May 30, 2010 Shouldn't it be 12 countries  It probably should. My apologies to any Canadians I've offended  Anyways, which of those credits would you say was the hardest to get?  Honestly, I don't think I've ever gotten to a park with a B&M that hasn't been operating, which is a testament to the reliability of their hardware. Planning a coaster trip to Kuwait was one of the more interesting journeys though!  Since a return to China is inevitable, I suggest you conquer all of Golden Horse's roller coasters.  I tell you what Mike; I'll do that provided you complete all fifty-plus Boomerangs first?  Are there any other ride companies, that you've completed their collection as well?  Honestly, I've no idea. I'd guess I'm close to a few; Morgan springs to mind, as does Custom Coasters Inc. I'll see if I can manage a follow up TR at some point, though honestly I'm not sure it's going to be worth it insofar as there are nothing like as many...  So whats your favorite B&M???  I think Nemesis still has the overall edge to be honest; it just shows what can be done with a bit of imagination. Crystal Wings is well up there, though.
OldJJman Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Congrats Richard!! That's quite an accomplishment!!  ...... but I am 1 behind, I missed Flight Deck at CGA 5 days ago because I ran out of time credit hoaring Taxi Jam  Sorry George, but that's too damn funny!!
zottewoef81 Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Congratulations! Just found out I missed a B&M in Japan last month (Diavlo), damn me!
Ed Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Impressive! I like that your photography skills increase as your B&M count does.
gus1971 Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 OMG! OMG! Congrats! B&M shares with Intamin the 1st place on my manufacturers rank. The rides are absurdly smooth, fun, fast... Ohhh and that roar... Keep riding!
Noxegon Posted May 30, 2010 Author Posted May 30, 2010 Impressive! I like that your photography skills increase as your B&M count does. Â Yeah, I know... it took me a few years to get the hang of composing my shots properly. Practice makes perfect.

jray21 Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Awesome Photo TR! It's amazing how many variations they have. I can't wait to ride some of those on the Europe trip in a month!
KrakenKing Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Amazing accomplishment! I love B&M coasters, and some of the ones over seas look amazing! I say you buy a ticket to China to get the new credit, haha! Â By the way, any way you can zoom in on the two riders on the far right of Manta? I think that's me and my friend, haha!
Dleo Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 A post in answer to my wet coaster dreams!! Thank you! Â It would be cool if someone published a book in honour of B&M. A collection of expert photography of every B&M coaster packaged with actual blue print-style schematics (north, south, east and west views and top-down schematics). Would be a very cool portfolio of B&M's accomplishments.
Noxegon Posted May 31, 2010 Author Posted May 31, 2010 By the way, any way you can zoom in on the two riders on the far right of Manta? I think that's me and my friend, haha! Â As requested...
rosscoe Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 And I have yet to ride a single B and M. Â Great report
therooboy Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Congratulations, a truely massive effort. Great pics too, thanks for posting.
downunder Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Very impressive, I don't view riding lots of quality coasters credit whoring. Credit whoring is performing unspeakable acts with a toothless carnie to get a ride on a Dragon Wagon and that sort of thing. I think you should tell B & M - they may be flattered by your effort. Â Every Intamin coaster - that will have a far higher higher degree of difficulty. Every Vekoma SLC would constitute an assisted suicide.
Flexo83 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 I'm jealous! I really need to get on the ball and start hitting up some parks this summer!
