Beate's Freak Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hey I was just thinking about how most of the old B&M were really intense, and started wondering what was the most intense B&M made? What do you think? For me I'd have to say Riddeler's Revenge, it's so cool feeling all of the forces going right to your legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The Pretzel Loop on Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFoG is the most intense roller coaster element I have experinced so far. But for overall coaster, maybe Batman: The Ride or Dueling Dragons Fire. Though Kumba is up there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 i'd say dueling dragons...but goliath is pretty intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Montu when trimless, now THATS an intense B&M! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Well if you ask my lower half, its definitely going to say that Mantis is pretty forceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I'll agree with Erik on this one, S:UF's pretzel loop is insane. It'll be interesting to see how Tatsu's compares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 To me, the most intense B&Ms are also my favorite ones. Batman, Kumba, Nemesis, Goliath, Montu (when brakeless), and Fire Dragon. Superman's pretzel loop is pretty intense, but the rest of the ride is pretty lame. One intense element doesn't make an intense ride per say.

memphish Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Batman, specifically SFoG's seems to be the most intense to me. It absolutly does not stop. The only place that you could possibly consider a deadspot is the S turn before the first flatspin. I'd follow that up with Kumba. Kumba's diving loop > Zero G (really negative g) roll > Cobra roll is nuts. And that little hop while you're in the trench going into the cobra roll is one of those cool touches they haven't done in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 As far as elements go, yeah, S:UF's pretzel loop is #1. Now you're all going to laugh at me, but... Patriot is the most intense B&M in my opinion. Totally serious on this one. It is a twisted mass of unknown forces. I really like the loop and the curve after the loop. You get airtime, then you slam down into your seat and experience extremely intense positives. I think it's the only coaster I've been on with airtime in all but one of its inversions. And the other one is big on the positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Out of 6 I have been on, I think Top Gun at PGA is probably the most intense. It has fast inversions, and it has a high-g helix over the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VekomaSucks1234 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 DD Fire definatley. The helix is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'll put in my vote for B:TR for the overall ride....and once again, the preztel as top element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 For those of you choosing SFOG Batman, what's the difference between it and any other Batman clone? Is there that much of a noticeable difference in intensity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefall Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Dragon Khan with minimum braking in the break run befor the 2nd loop and intwinded corkscrews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Nemesis for me, by a long shot, especially in the back, its just insanse, after a few rides in a row my head was feeling a bit strange, its not a rough coaster at all, in fact its very smooth even though it was built 12 years ago, its probably smoother than most new coasters, but its so intense from start to finish, especially that last corkscrew!

Billy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 i know batman is a heavy ride but i gotta say Kumba. This coaster aged nicely. i rode it back in June last year for the first time since i think 98? and it was still if not more powerful at everypoint on the ride.

pvcoasterguy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'd say Iron Wolf is the most forceful B&M that I have been on. When you can get a smooth ride, it is totally amazing and mind-blowing. The loop is taken at an incredibly high speed, as is the corkscrew. The "spaghetti bowl" section after the corkscrew is totally insane and very fast. It's just a very intense ride that doesn't let up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimahri Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'd have to say Nemesis's first helix thing is quite forcefull (although I'v only been on 3 B&M's that would be intense that, nemmy inferno and oblivion) but since I havent been on many and I'm sort of like a nemmy fanboy and oblivion comes close.

Rockman89 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I have to say Kumba. It has that relentless feel to it that makes for one hell of a ride, every ride. Also up high on the intensity would be B:TR (never noticed a diference on any of the ones I've ridden) and Deuling Dragons. Riddler's, for me, doesn't do much. It was cool the first time a few years ago, but getting off it last time I really didn't feel anything compeling me to go back. It felt more like a catologue of inversions than the rush that Batman provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm 30 for 66 on B&M's. I'd say B:tR or Kumba. Ask me again after June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah_killa Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 B:tr... but, I can't believe that nobody has said this, Georgia Scorcher is the most intense stand up i've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Kumba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resonancej Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 It's interesting how everyone so far who has said DD has said Fire. I would say Ice, that 1-2-3 punch of heartline/cobra roll/vertical loop makes my head spin everytime. Its awesome. Anyone else notice how cobra rolls on inverts tend to snap hard?

ECZenith Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Alpengeist was FAST before they braked it, going through the inversions at that speed was just WOW. Nowadays... SFGADV's Batman TR still delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
