Best American B&M Inverted coaster

[ValleyfairFan]

Based on what I've ridden, I'd rank them this way:

 

Alpengeist

Afterburn

Montu

Talon

Ice Dragon

Raptor

Fire Dragon

Patriot

Batman/Great White

 

I should add that as I've gotten older the higher intensity rides tend to make me feel more ill than when I was younger, so that probably plays a part in it as well. Also, I've really enjoyed every B&M Invert I've been on, so even though Batman/Great White are last in my rankings I still think they make for a great ride.

 

*EDIT: Forgot to add a couple

I have been on:

Alpengeist

Top Gun (PGA)

Raptor

Batman (SFGam, SFMM, and SFGaD)

Dueling Dragons

 

I vote for Alpengeist. I love the use of the terrain and that high speed blast from the loop down into the cobra roll is pretty spectacular.

Force-wise, it isn't the best, but as a total package, I think it is a great ride, with a great theme.

 

Looking forward to riding Montu in the next couple of weeks.

I chose Alpengiest because of it's use of terrain...and that cobra roll!

Since I originally voted I've added a few more inverts. Here's my list now.

 

1. Montu

2. Raptor (Original #1)

3. Flight Deck (CGA)

4. Alpengeist

5. Batman (SFMM and SFGAm)

6. Dragon Challenge (Chinese Fireball)

7. Silver Bullet

8. Dragon Challenge (Hungarian Horntail)

I've only been on a few B&M inverts in America, here's my list from favorite to least favorite:

 

-Montu

-Dragon Challenge (Fireball)

-Dragon Challenge (Horntail)

-Batman: The Ride (I choose SFOT's over SFMM's)

-Silver Bullet

 

I would put Silver Bullet higher but thanks to my last few rides on Batman, I now remember riding the ride.

Montu, with Raptor very close behind! After that I'd say Batman, then DD Fire, and finally DD Ice to round out my top 5.

Best American B&M inverted coaster I've ridden so far?...it would have to be Alpengeist. But I haven't been on too many B&M inverts.

1. Raptor 2. Montu 3. Alpengeist 4. Batman clones 5. Patriot

Seriously why doesn't Patriot get any love? It's one of the smoothest B&M Inverts and has on the best zero-G rolls out there.

The best American invert I've ridden would be Montu. It's just an awesome coaster and has many great moments.

I switched my favorite to Montu. It has decent theming and landscaping (not that it's alone in this among inverts). It goes on for a long time and keeps you guessing. And instead of focusing solely on intensity like many others that I like to varying degrees, it simply provides a purely enjoyable coaster experience that isn't attributable only to forces.

I chose Raptor because all the other inverted B&Ms I have been on are Batman clones

Finally, we agree on something.

I've been on Alpengeist, Montu, and both sides of Dragon Challenge. This was honestly a tough choice between Alpengeist and Montu. Montu maybe a better ride in terms of being forceful, but there's something about Alpengeist that makes me love the ride a lot. It might be a combination of it's layout, theming, and use of terrain. Or it could be the fact it was my first B&M invert, which made me fall in love with them. Still trying to get a Batman credit.
