watching rollercoasters off-ride like this is so satisfying. they just swoop through the air so smoothly, it’s kinda beautiful

[@5MadMovieMakers]

These rides are just awesome to look at

[@SeanFlaharty]

Fantastic video! It's no secret that I am a big fan of B&M coasters and this video really does a great job of explaining who the firm is. Great job once again.

[@viniciusstellium8012]

The fact that the whole video comes without a "but" or "however" when it comes to reliability and success says a lot. B&M are incredibly accomplished on creating rides that are packed with thrill and very often huge in their own league (such as big looping inverted and floorless coasters), or towering over whole parks like their latest Gigas, and yet, they are crowd pleasing, silky smooth and that counts a LOT when a park is investing million on a new ride. Kudos to the company for its admirable track record (pun intended lol). And for everyone saying they are non innovative, take a look at what their designs brought to the early 90s and how that would set the bar higher for the entire coaster industry - not to mention the inverted coaster breakthrough itself.

They are, as a company, a true example of absolutely exceptional engineering at play. Their rides have great capacity, great reliability, great longevity, and they are incredibly (almost unbelievably) safe. Definitely a very different design philosophy from say Intamin (who deserves much credit for pushing boundaries to new levels, but sometimes with substantial consequences), but once B&M does offer a product, you can have a high level of confidence that product will excel in every measurable metric. I also love how they use a US steel producer for all their rides.

I have to say, if I ever got to ask the creators one thing, it would be how they managed to construct such beautifully smooth rides. I've only ridden a couple of their rollercoasters but the smoothness and ride experience is something unbeatable. I'd love to see them continue to introduce new and exciting elements and ride techs in the near future

I will always have such a soft spot in my heart for Air. I went from liking coasters to loving them with that first ride on it. It was so smooth, so beautifully swooping, it captured my imagination.

[@CoasterConnection]

Can’t go wrong with a B&M coaster! Great video, very informative 👍🏻

[@Hoshimaru57]

Gotta love the look and sound of a B&M. Not only can you identify one by its sturdy box smoothly flowing track, you can also often hear them quite a distance away, as air being pushed through and over the track makes a very distinctive low roaring sound like a large turbofan aircraft.

watches the history of B&M, Still cries when its mentioned Dueling Dragons no longer exists

[@RobertTheHaunter]

Should have gotten a B&M.

[@juanvillegas8377]

Call me a fanboy, but this is easily the best roller coaster manufacturer in my biased opinion. First coaster I ever rode was a B&M, which was Medusa in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, and it was an absolutely enjoyable experience.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

B&M really does have a long history of making world-class roller coasters, and I'm glad you made a video on it :) They are just a high-quality roller coaster manufacturer, and they are well-deserved to have a video like this explaining their work since 1988, when they first became public. Like you said, I hope their number of coaster models expand within the next several years, since they are currently my favourite coaster manufacturer.

[@RedLizard-ez2xj]

I’ve watched this video around 15 times and each time I’ve learned something new

[@SiliconBassist]

Every B&M coaster I've been on has been fantastic. I haven't been on that many coasters yet, but all my favorites so far that are still standing are B&M.

Will forever be a B&M fanboy, since they opened nemmy at Alton Towers, so many wonderful rides. Shambahla/Mako are amazing! I was recently blown away by montu at busch, just expected a bog standard B&M, then remembered, B&M dont do Bog standard!

[@irishmusiclover100]

Wow this video is awesome! B&M is one of the best rollercoaster manufacturers, I love all of their models! I see a lot of amazing coasters from my home parks in this video. You did a great job with this! 🎢🎢
