Heth Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I was having a bit of a procrastination from work looking at the ride selections at several parks I've yet to visit. I was having a look at which parks had the most B&M coasters (SF Great Adventure it turns out), and then I noticed that there are some roller-coaster combinations which seem to be rather rare. It turns out that there are no theme parks that have a stand-up rollercoaster and a B&M Dive Coaster. This made me think if there are any other combinations which are rare or non-existant. Here were a few I found: -The only park you can ride a Dive Coaster and a Floorless B&M coaster is Janfusun Fancyworld -The only park you will be able to ride a Dive Coaster and an indoor rollercoaster is Efteling (well, will be as of this summer) -The only park you can ride both a Vekoma SLC and a B&M Inverted coaster is La Ronde (there were a lot to search through, so I might have missed some...it's rare anyway) Any others people have found that are unique or rare...as you can clearly see I've barely made it outside of thinking about Dive Coasters!

KingRCT3 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 -The only park you can ride both a Vekoma SLC and a B&M Inverted coaster is La Ronde The weirdest thing about that is that they actually added the SLC after the B&M... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Six Flags Magic Mountain - only park with a GCI and a RMC Six Flags Mecico - only park with a RMC and no B&M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 ^^Just shows how easy it is to trick the GP ... But in all seriousness, I don't blame them. As someone who's been to that park quite a few times, I can say that, while Ednor (SLC) is probably not a very good ride (never actually done it) compared to Vampire (B&M... & best coaster in Canada IMO), I have to say Ednor looks way more enticing to ride just based on appearance alone (which is what the GP I know usually base what they'll ride on). The ride looks great; nice colour scheme, in addition to being placed over the water with the Montreal skyline in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heth Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Heide Park is the only park in which you can ride a Wing Rider and a Bobsled-style coaster, and also the only one with a Dive Coaster and a Bobsled. Cedar Point of course knocked down a Bobsled to build a Wing Rider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Cedar Point- The only park that has a B&M Wing and Floorless Coaster. SFGAm- Had two wild mouse coasters only a few hundred feet from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Hero Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Great Adventure: Only place you can ride a hyper, pre-fab, and a strata coaster. Cedar Point: Only place you can ride a hyper, giga, and a strata coaster. Before Rougarou, the only place you could ride a floorless and a giga was King's Dominion.

MrSum1_55 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 As of this writing, every major park in Texas has a Batman clone. (Though all of them have different names) Also, 3/4 of all Intamin prefabs are located next to Intamin accelerators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm not sure if this counts but SFGAm is the only SF park that has 4 wooden coasters. I think it's the park that has two water rides that run parallel to each other (correct me if I'm wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 SFGAdv- The only park where you can ride 5 different B&M ride styles (Stand up, Flying, Hyper, Floorless, Invert) along with an Intamin Strata/PreFab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejot Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Arrow suspended generates a few more since so rare. B&M wing and Arrow suspended is uniquely found at Cedar Point B&M flying and Arrow suspended is uniquely found at Magic Mountain I'll leave out... Intamin inverted and Arrow suspended is uniquely found at Cedar Point since "Intamin inverted" is a less distinct and more commonly duplicated ride type than the B&M designs.

Comeagain? Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Silverwood's the only place you can reliably ride a GIB and 2 CCIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 For obvious reasons, Europa Park is the only park you can ride 10 different Mack coasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heth Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 You cannot ride a B&M Dive Coaster and a Gerstlauer Eurofighter in the same park (this, in part, is due to the distribution of Eurofighters and the avoidance of parks having more than one vertical drop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Kings dominion...3 style of launched coaster (family, inverted and multi looping) universal orlando resort...a launched coaster from 3 of the top manufactures (premier, B&M and intamin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 SFMM is the only park that has a 4d, zacspin, stand up, floorless, inverted, and flying in one park lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Im trying to wrap my head around how some of these examples are "unique" and not just a coaster line up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejot Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Himeji Central Park is the only place you can ride an inverted B&M and a Togo of any kind. I'm not sure if this counts but SFGAm is the only SF park that has 4 wooden coasters. More surprisingly, SFStl is the only SF park with three woodies.

RCjunkie Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The only park where you can still ride 5 Arrow Dynamics coasters is Cedar Point: Corkscrew, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Gemini, Iron Dragon and Magnum XL-200. Honorable mention for being able to ride 3 Arrow Dynamic Coasters UNDER 2500 feet long is Valleyfair with Corkscrew, Excalibur and Mad Mouse.
