I haven't been on a ton of inverts yet, but for now, my favorite is Talon at Dorney Park. It just edges out Raptor. Montu, Afterburn (Carowinds), Dueling Dragons, and Nemesis are high on my must-ride inverts list.

[Skycoastin Steve]

I'll go ahead and bump this for the kid that started the thread today.

 

I've ridden every American B&M invert excluding the BTR at SFGAm and Flight Deck at CGA, so my rankings are pretty set.

 

1. Montu

2. Alpengeist

3. Silver Bullet

4. Afterburn

5. Talon

6. Raptor

7. Dueling Dragons - Fire

8. Dueling Dragons - Ice

9. Patriot

10. Batman clones

11. Great Bear

[Josh Linn]

I'd go:

 

1. Montu

2. Raptor

3. Talon

4. Batman: The Ride

5. Great Bear

6. Alpengeist

[FeelTheFORCE]

Of the 10 B&M Inverts I have been on (2 B:TRs), here is how I rank them.

 

1. Montu

2. Raptor

3. Alpengeist

4. Talon

5. DD - Ice

6. DD - Fire

7. Silver Bullet

8. B:TR

8. B:TR

10. Great Bear

[JEAPUgrad]

1. Montu - also my first B&M

2. Fire Drago

3. Raptor

4. Ice Dragon

5. Talon

6. Alpengiest

7. Batman Clones

8. Great Bear

[PriestofSyrinx]

1. Alpie

2. Montu

3. Raptor/Top Gun (carowinds)

5. Dueling Dragons Ice

6. Dueling Dragons Fire

7. Batman (SFoG)

[cal1br3tto]

I haven't yet been on any full circuit inverts that have really amazed me, so my list will seem very pathetic.

 

1. Aftershock

2. Flight Deck (CGA)

3. Deja Vu (SFMM)

4. Silver Bullet

5. V2: Vertical Velocity

6. Invertigo

7. Batman (SFMM)

8. Kong

 

Note that Flight Deck gains a lot of points simply for theming and atmosphere, although Silver Bullet has a pleasant atmosphere as well. Also, I might have to quit ranking at some point. It's been pretty challenging for a while and only getting worse!

[BaMiTsPaT]

It was close but I had to give the edge to the dragons for theming and the dueling aspect.

 

my ratings went :

1)Dueling Dragons

2) Montu

3) Silver Bullet

4) Alpengeist

5) BTR clones

6) Great Bear

7) The SLCs

Uhh...to the starter: You totally forgot my ******' favorite!!! Patriot at Wof is not on the list!

 

I demand an apology. Disrespect for any B&M Invert is prosecutable by roller coaster law!.

Yeah unfortunately BGT said that they had to trim the ride a bit to it being way to forceful. It used to be much faster and forceful, just not forceful enough to turn on the trims right before the batwings. Without those trims Montu is a great ride

[hill71]

My favorite invert has to be Afterburn at Carowinds. I just remember how much fun I had riding it at night. I think its probably the most underrated invert IMO.

[walibi owner]

black mamba, or a GIB

7. Invertigo - CGA

8. Black Mamba - Phantasialand

12. SLC's (El Condor, MP Express, Limit, Blue Tornado)

[snowboard83]

Dang! More people need to get out to ride Alpengeist! Its missing from 5 of 6 invert ride lists on page 15 alone! But Montu is on a lot of them. My vote goes to Alpengiest. Just got back from riding Montu and even less brakes on MCBR than when I rode it last, Alpengeist still blew it away. Only thing Montu beats Alpengeist on IMO is smoothness. But Alpengeist isn't bad at all minus the 2 "jolts." 1 in the cobra roll, 1 entering the MCBR. In fact, I love the jolt in the cobra roll, especially in the back. It gives the ride an even more out of control feeling.

 

EDIT: I totally agree with Afterburn being EXTREMELY underrated, as it is #2 on my list.
