OldJJman Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I was kind of surprised to see that I hadn't posted in this thread yet. Out of 48 B&M's, I'd say Kumba, Hulk, Fire, Nemeis, and the Batmen. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCLcoasters Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Flight Deck at Carowinds. Back row 3 times without standing up = amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Idiot God Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Montu when trimless, now THATS an intense B&M! The Batwing, I would have to agree. Hell, the batwing rips you a new one even WITH trims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nemesis, Montu and Kumba for me. A lot of B & M inverts have their moments of high g-forces but I found these 3 (well, 2 inverts and a sit down) kept the intensity up for most of the ride. Kumba was my first B & M sit down of it's type (only rode it for the first time last month) and it packed a punch, as did Montu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Idiot God Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I don't have many to my name, but I'd have to go with Kumba. The second half is markedly less intense, but the first half seems to just keep growing faster by the second, and the cobra roll is absolutely ridiculous on its good days.

odene497 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Some of the Batman clones, Behemoth (airtime speaking), I think the most intense stand-up I was on was Vortex at Carowinds... I love my forces, but if I have to keep on top of gray-outs it's a bit meh. I'd prefer a smooth, twisty, *fun* ride over a super forceful one that I have to be concerned about blacking out on.

rcdude Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Out of all the B&M coasters I've been on, these are the ones I consider the most intense of their type. Inverted: Tie: Batman The Ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Flight Deck at California's Great America Floorless: Medusa at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Flying: Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain Stand-Up: All stand-ups seem to be about equal Mega: Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg Diving Machine: I've only been on Griffon, but it wasn't very intense Edited November 3, 2010 by rcdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 From my limited B&M experience, I would either have to say Dominator at KD or Apollo's Chariot at BG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteocrepaldi Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think Chang was the most intense I've been on. I couldn't ride it more than three times in a raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormrider Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Batman the Ride was intense enough that I do not wish to ride them again Vortex at Great America was forceful, so I'm thinking the 1990s B&Ms are the most forceful. Tatsu's pretzel loop is forceful, and the moment before diving down is the best part of the ride. It caught me off guard because I thought the ride would be slow and meandering, but I was wrong. Also, if I sit in the back car of any B&M, the intensity raises significantly when compared to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Flight Deck at CGA is easily the most intense I've ridden. I experience a significant grey-out almost every time I ride it. The most intense single moment I've experienced is Tatsu's pretzel loop. I also enjoy S:UF's pretzel, but I've ridden nothing so far that can match Tatsu. I enjoy all B&M inverts, although I'm not the biggest fan of Batmen. I've had mixed experiences among the three I've ridden, with some laps providing the "signature" Batman intensity with pins and needles, and others not really standing out in any way. My favorite Batman is the original (SFGAm) because of its refreshing setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclisso Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Back Row on Afterburn at Carowinds, especially during Scarowinds when it's dark and a little cold. It's amazing! It definitely beat Intimidator when I rode it at Scarowinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 My list: SFGAM's B:TR - This is easily the most intense B&M I've been on. The speed through the ride is great, as is how the ride interacts with the surroundings. The ride in the back row, outer left is easily the most intense coaster ride I've experienced. For some reason, SFSTL's B:TR, the only other one I've been on, seemed pretty weak when I rode it. Iron Wolf - While it is rough, the ride is surprisingly intense. No single element stands out, but throughout the ride, it pulls some great forces. It is probably the second most intense B&M I've been on, and if it were smooth, it would be a very good coaster. Other B&M's still have intense moments Nitro's helix - I heard things about it, but it still came as a shock. It was probably one of, if not the most, intense moments I've had on a coaster. It is the only time I've greyed-out on a coaster. S:UF's pretzel loop - the only intense part of the ride Raging Bull's finale - while nowhere close to Nitro's helix, it is still intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Which seat were you riding in on Nitro? I rode in the back and nowhere in the ride did I find it intense. What I loved about Nitro was that it wasn't intense, it was like flying (my favorite moments were reaching down to the right on the hammerhead turn, and reaching to the sky when flying through the supports at the end). After reading about the helix, I was thinking it'd be like Goliath's (Magic Mountain) but it was not memorable to me But the ride was still amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayzle Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Unfortunately I have only been on the 4 B&Ms at Great Adventure, but it's amazing how intense Batman is and how (for lack of a better term) weak Bizarro is. It is a really fun ride, especially the fire, but the forces just don't seem to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1000 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 In terms of forces, Batman: The Ride (SFMM) gets my vote. The ride was pretty much one long greyout to me - it was fun though, if a little rough. Mantis is pretty intense without trims but not in a good way! My feet hurt after my ride. I also found Dragon Khan to be pretty disorienting from what I can remember from my single ride (maybe the 2 1/2 wait did that...) The best? Raptor.

Lenaapple1974 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Up until this year, B&M was the only looping coaster manufacturer that I had ridden, with the exception of RNR. I think that without a doubt, the most forceful layout is B:TR. I have only ridden the one in SFGAdv though. Especially if you ride it at the end of the day, it packs a punch in a short amount of time that is sure to drum up a headache for it's quick paced elements. I have ridden both Kumba & Montu, but didn't find them intense as mentioned. To me, all the Orlando coasters, including Kraken, and DC - seemed like they pulled you through the elements, not feeling the drops (and they are taller), where others back home such as Bizarro, seem to hold you to your seat, but you feel the fall in the drops. I am not sure how to explain it, but they all had it. Maybe that is the force talking. The pretzel loop in S:UF wasn't intense to me, and especially after I rode Manta in the rear, S:UF lost any intensity factor it had. Still a yummy ride though. I did not grey or black out on Manta, as I have heard some have in the rear. I almost wouldn't ride it in the rear for the fear of the grey out. In the end, I guess the intensity varies on the individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I don't get out of my region that much. The most intense B&M I've ridden is Alpengeist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSiRockin Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Batman, especially Le Vampire. Nitro's helix is crazy too. I have to do deep breathing on that to not black out. I've only been on around 10 Beemers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
