PKI Jizzman Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Am I the only one that thinks the B:TR clones at various six flags parts are the most intense B&M inverts? I've been on: -Top Gun:TJC/Afterburn -Raptor -Batman:TR at SFOG Batman BY FAR is the most intense I've been on. I've heard the most intense are: -Great White -Nemesis -Batman Clones
Calicoasters Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm! Super steep drop, high speed loop and cobra roll... No but seriously it is probably Batman The Ride clones. To be more specific, probably Great White at Seaworld San Antonio. I've read reviews of Alpengeist and Pyrenees being very intense as well.
andyuk200523 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Definately Nemesis, during heavy rain, the rear car is roped off due to too high G's. I did have the pleasure of riding in the back during a rain storm once and it flew round, I almost greyed out on the first Helix! Great times!
Homer Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 B:TR is indeed one of the more intense B&M inverts. Raptor and Montu are the only ones that I think are really intense. Montu's first half is god tier for inverted coasters.
coolcalicoaster Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 B:TR clones are the most intense but by far the worst invert I have ridden. I am not a fan at all. I much prefer any other invert.
CGA_88 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 The only B&M inverts I have been on are Silver Bullet, Flight Deck (CGA), and B:TR (SFMM). IMO, I think FD packs a bigger punch that the batman clones.
Josh Linn Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I'd probably rank the inverts I've been on intensity wise as follows: Batman: The Ride Raptor Montu Talon Great Bear Alpengeist
larrygator Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Am I the only one that thinks the B:TR clones at various six flags parts are the most intense B&M inverts? I merged this with a older topic. Please use the search function before starting a new Topic, there was no need a start a new thread so similar to this older one.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Most intense:Hands down B:TR Intense/Fun: Tie-B:TR and S:KC
BuschSchoe Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I'm going to basically go with what everyone else is going with (an invert) and say Alpengeist. The forces are just so intense.
Jds03 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Of the ones I've ridden I'd say either B:TR or Kumba, But I know from what people have said that Pyrenees is hands down the most intence B&M.
rydrmr9 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Has anyone said Hulk? The first four inversions are insane! The launch into the zero-g/drop into a cobra roll following that is a massive verticle loop. I'd say it packs a mean punch. Also Kumba, Montu, Kraken, Georgia Scorcher, SUF at SFOG, and B:Tr, Montu, Basically all the south east B&M's. lol ~Ryan
LJGoBlue Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I would say Raptor is one of the more intense B&M Inverts. Mantis would be intense without the trims, but IMO it is just painful.
CreditCrazy Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Batman The Ride and Tatsu IMO...that pretzel loop is intense.
Ali Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 The most intense one that I have been on has to B:TR but from what I've heard Pyrenees is by the far the most forceful B&M out there.
Team Thriller Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Alpengiest Black Mamba Batman: The Ride They all are intense. --James
shepp Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Since this thread has been resurrected...I'll revise my earlier entry and agree that Tatsu's pretzel is the single most intense B&M element I've experienced...and unlike the S:UF I've ridden (SFGAdv), the rest of the ride - partly due to the siting - is a whole lot of fun, too. I just love that first drop off the side of the hill.
X2coasterfreak Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Tatsu's pretzel loop, Bat Man: The Ride, and, I can't believe I am saying this, Silver Bullett. It had a lot of G- Force in the corkscrews. Yay 100th post
JuanSe_Colombia Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 TATSU teh pretzel loop is very intense. Tatsu is awesome!
cal1br3tto Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I've been on so many. Like, 3. Out of those 3 I would say Flight Deck (CGA). I kept greying out somewhere in the middle of the ride. Sometimes I'd miss a pretty big section of the ride before regaining my vision. And on every on-ride photo I appeared to be grimacing more than screaming. I just love the theming and setting of that ride. I might as well mention the other two. I used to think Medusa (SFDK) was was majorly thrilling. Now I think it's fun, but almost tame. Vortex (CGA) is fun, but I think it's more rough than intense. I guess I'll have to work my way up to the more highly regarded rides.
sam06pr Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Kumba is really intense ride, but now is getting rough. Still is intense Second is DD fire. Raptor @ CP The Pretzel loop on Manta
Maverickrocks Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 For me, Raptor, Alpengeist, Griffon, Sheikra and Diamondback. Raptor, Sheikra and Griffon all have some crazy extreme moments (helix on Raptor, drops on the Dive Machines). I found Alpengeist to be an all-around intense ride. The same goes for Diamondback.
B-RadG Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Alpengeist undoubtedly. It may bash your head in if you catch it on an off day or sit in the wrong row, but if it's smooth you get the wind knocked out of you. Cobra Roll.
ArizonaGuy Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I'd say Kumba as most intense and Tatsu for the intense pretzel loop
Pufferfish Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 The most intense in my opinion is probably Manta. It is the best flyer I've ever experienced and its pretzel is about 3 times the intensity of S:UF's pretzel. Now I could be a copy cat of everyone else and name a couple other Florida B&Ms, but I'm going to be different and name one no one has mentioned yet. Afterburn. Think Montu with a higher speed in a more compact layout with a more intense batwing and no trim break. Especially now with the new wheels on blue train, and the fresh grease, it's a g-force machine. After that, I would have to say B:TR at SFOG. It would be a great ride if it were better kept and operated, but it is still one intense little invert.
