Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Nemesis and Katun during night-time, black-outs all the way.
canadianparkfan Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 B:TR clones by a long shot. They're short, but sweet. Non stop action from the first drop to the station.
Halogen Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Well, obviously it's Kumba. From what I've ridden however, I feel Talon's intense Helix was great.
thrillseeker4552 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Most B&M Inverts are forceful to some extent (yes, even Silver Bullet). The Batman clones and Banshee seem to stick out in intensity. I also have to give an honorable mention to Tatsu; that pretzel loop is unreal.
TheCoasterKid211 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Well, obviously it's Kumba. I have ridden many B&M coasters but none of them come close to the intensity of Kumba. Kumba is nonstop intensity. Blew my expectations out of the water. By unanimous decision...
timetrial3141592 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Well, obviously it's Kumba. I have ridden many B&M coasters but none of them come close to the intensity of Kumba. Kumba is nonstop intensity. Blew my expectations out of the water. By unanimous decision...
gerstlaueringvar Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) One more vote for Kumba! As for elements, Sky Scrapper's loop and Montu's Batwing are my choices. Edited November 30, 2015 by gerstlaueringvar
Nitro1118 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Batman clones are definitely number 1. Alpengeist, Montu, Kumba, Raptor, Hulk and Green Lantern are also up there for me. Even the strongest sitdown/floorless/standup Beemers just don't quite match the power of the old school inverts.
Canobie Coaster Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 The most intense B&Ms I've been on are Hulk, Flight Deck (CGA), and Batman the Ride. Any pretzel loop is their most intense element, but the rest of the flyers aren't too intense.
dippindotsguy8 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I find the Batman clones to be the most physically testing B&Ms out there. However in terms of everything the ride has to offer and pacing, I would probably say Kumba or Dragon Khan
jynx242 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I'm with the crowd here - the Batmen and Kumba are, by far, the most intense B&M's to me. Adding to that - Kumba is also one of the BEST B&M's ever built
canadianparkfan Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 As someone who hasn't rode Kumba, what makes it so special compacted to other similar coasters built around the same time? (Ie. Bizzaro SFGAdv, Rougarou, Riddler's). From POVs, I can't tell much of a difference.

Bizzaro SFGAdv, Rougarou, Riddler's). From POVs, I can't tell much of a difference. That Zero G Roll at the last car far left seat made the difference. Also, feels like other B&M's goes through the elements, Kumba PULLs through the elements.
Married a Canadian Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I love this roller coaster hobby simply because it is funny when you feel so out of step with everyone else. In this case..both myself and the missus found Kumba to be "Meh". That is in no way a comment on the ride...just we didn't find it that impressive. Oh well....for this thread....I think the pretzel loop on Tatsu is the most intense moment I have felt on a B and M...followed by the first drop on Leviathan. In terms of overall ride?? Tatsu...but then I think flyers are probably my favourite type of coaster.
KarlaKoaster Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I love people's different opinions too I think Kumba was very high for intensity for me, but I think Dragon Khan seemed more intense when I rode it a couple of years ago. I think the Batmen are very intense too, and Black Mamba is one of the more intense coasters B&M have built in the last few years. When it opened it was OK, but it has really matured into a really fantastic ride! The first half of Hulk was very intense, and it will be interesting to ride it when it reopens to see whether they have taken the bite out of the transitions
coasterbill Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I used to think Kumba blew every other B&M away in the intensity department but after riding Montu in the back row I think it's right up there with it. Those 2 blow everything else away and I'm so jealous of BGT for having a 1-2 punch like that.
canadianparkfan Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Really hoping b&m continue to build more forcefull coasters (ie. Banshee, Fury, Thunderbird) in the future. Odds are CW's next big coaster will be a beemer, and while CF has done wonderful things for the park, im getting a little tired of relatively forceless hypers/gigas.
VCXfreak Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 For me it would be Tatsu's pretzel loop. The head dive into loop and g-force at the bottom always gets to me.
chickenbowl Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Personally, I didn't find Kumba to be particularly intense. It was a decent coaster, but I didn't really find much about it to be better than a lot of other looping B&M's. I found both Kumba and Montu to be a bit overrated. Maybe the days I visited the park were off days?? Side note - I found Fire Dragon to outrank Montu as well. I found these elements to be more intense than Kumba: - Nitro's upward helix - Tatsu's pretzel loop - Fire Dragon's immelman/helix - Incredible Hulk's first half - Montu's batwing - Flight Deck - Kraken's turn after the cobra roll - Any Batman The Ride
coasterbill Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 To each his own but I'm pretty sure that Kumb'a brake run is more intense than anything Nitro does.
mike541x Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I second on Kumba and Montu being the most intense, especially in the last row. By far some of the most forceful moments I've experienced on any coaster. Dominator, Thunderbird, Hulk and Chinese Fireball get honorable mentions as well.
boldikus Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I always wonder why everyone says Nitro's helix is so intense. I suppose compared to the rest of the ride it is this moment of relentless positive G's but its nothing like what I feel during Superman's pretzel loop. Lately on Nitro I've been trying to slap the supports during the helix. I probably shouldn't be able to but it feels like I can. No luck so far, but I'll let you guys know if my arms grow.
Password121 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Batman backwards in the last row (you can see the track you just passed). It's hard to tell if I'm saying this purely based on "potential nausea" factor, but unlike any other ride I've ridden every single moment feels like you're in the middle of a really intense part. You know what I'm talking about... not like "Holy crap sustained g's can't move," kinda thing, but always bracing and clenching my jaw and fingers on the grab bars. It's almost like I was constantly preparing for an old-school B&M corkscrew where you bring your head down a bit and lean in to avoid headbanging, but then it's baby-a$$ smooth and you have no idea what direction you're going or what just happened. I can't imagine this on a coaster that lasts more than about 40 seconds start to finish, but any coaster that does isn't as intense as Batman. Huh. I probably completely butchered explaining that... but forwards Batman is pretty damn intense too.
