Best American B&M Inverted coaster

[ShannonSomerville]

Even though Alpengeist was my very first B&M,period,I like Top Gun:The Jet Coaster a little bit better because of its quick pacing and the mist-filled tunnel. I also liked Talon also. Great Bear is OK. Take care SES

[dandaman]

I voted Raptor. Only one I've ridden, but still a favorite nonetheless.

[Satoshi]

will you guess what am i talkin' about my favolite B&M

 

not taller than boomerang

lots of g's felt at all elements

gonna pass out in the helix

has sudden stops after ride has over

feel a little shakiness

 

what kind of B&M do i mean?

[GeorgiaDawg278]

(not in your^ response) Top Gun at Carowinds. Very intense, especially through the batwing .

[coaster mad]

the only ones i have been on are DD Montu Batman and out of them i would have to say montu is the best

[mforce79]

So why is Patriot on the list when it is not open yet?

 

Patriot must be on the list in case Paul Ruben decides to declare it his "new #1 coaster" before it opens. Just like he does for every new ride.

Paul Ruben is retarded

[Gnome]

^ Well he DOES get to cut in front of everybody in line on the coaster just because he's a coaster celebrity.

[PhishyBrewer]

I would love to say Raptor due to me working on the ride for a number of years. But that straight section before the helix kills me.

 

My vote goes to Silver Bullet.

[PKDFreak]

Alpingeist all the way!

[PKDFreak]

Alpengeist all the way!

[jamesdillaman]

I still like Raptor. Liked it in 96 when I first rode it and still enjoy it today. Haven't been on dueling dragons or patriot, though, but nostalgia will probably leave me liking raptor best... guess I'll have to wait and see what the summer holds

[Bk1870]

My vote went to Dueling Dragons...there is noting like it, in my opinion. I LOVE Fire...its just...GREAT!

 

Second would have to be Alpingeist...also an awesome ride, very HUGE and that Boomerang section is just CRAZY!

[CreditCrazy]

I voted for Raptor. I love the first drop and the great zero-g roll.

 

And...

 

2 - Batman The Ride (SFMM)

3 - Silver Bullet

4 - Flight Deck

 

I really enjoy all 4, B&M Inverts are one of my favorite types of coasters.

[X2coasterfreak]

I vote Silver Bullett. I have only ridden two inverts, Bullett and Batman(SFMM). Silver Bullett is longer, the hellixes are forceful, oh and of course Zero-G-Roll

[atem122]

I voted for Silver Bullet because X2coasterfreak and I understand that somebody needs to show that ride some love....somebody who has also only been on SB and BTR at SFMM

[fisher1095]

I think Afterburn takes the cake, and not because Carowinds is my home park.

[coasterbilly]

Awesome poll, to me it's Alpengeist. I've ridden pretty much half the list there (including Montu). I just love the pacing on it, the speed in the front is rediculous and the inversions just flow so nicely. Yeah it probably doesn't run as well as it did back during it's first few seasons, but it still amazes me everytime I ride it now.

 

Actually, I just re-read the poll and saw I've been on more then half, here they are:

 

Batman clones in Jersey and Illinois

Alpengeist

Raptor

Montu

Dueling Dragons

Afterburn

Great Bear

Talon

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

I voted for the clones. Batman kicks ass. Talon os a very close second, but it's on the other side of the country, so it doesn't have quite the same place in my heart. As for Silver Bulls4!t-Well there's a reason I prefer driving 45 minutes to Valencia opposed to 20 minutes to Buena Park...

[jbarner14]

I voted Montu. It was the first one I was on and its still my favorite.

 

For reference, I've been on:

 

Montu

Alpengeist

Raptor

Talon

Batman: The Ride (SFGAdv)

Great Bear

[Maverickrocks]

I've been on five of them so far, including the top three in the poll. I'd choose Alpengeist as the best. It's a notch above all of the others for me.

[rcdude]

I'd rank the four I've been on in the following order:

 

1. Raptor

2. Flight Deck

3. Silver Bullet

4. Batman The Ride

[Sir Clinksalot]

Out of the ones I have ridden:

 

Dueling Dragons (Ice)

Great Bear

Dueling Dragons (Fire)

Flight Deck (PGA)

Batman: The Clone

Silver Bullet

Talon

[cycamps]

Dueling Dragons is my favorite. Although I've only been on fire, I LOVE it. Batman at SFGAm would be in second though...

[CHILLERLC1]

Afterburn. I just rode it too.

[fisher1095]

^ Good choice.
