I only got to ride Raging Bull once for the 2019 season, first time ever. Because my grandma is handicapped, they assigned us the third row which is probably one of the worst seats you can get. So I'm definitely gonna ask for a back row

As the only hyper I've ridden, I'm super happy that Mako is so close to my house and that I get to ride it every few months or so. I went earlier this month and the trim brakes were completely off and I couldn't believe how amazing it was. That hill with the trim brake on it gave sustained airtime on par with the larger camelback before it, and the second half of the ride actually gave good floater airtime. I remember on the midcourse on one of my rides absolutely crying of laughter, I don't think I've ever had that much fun on a roller coaster in my life.

[@8877Lego]

Wow, how come the trim brake was off on Mako? Rode it last week and it was definitely on. Loved it anyway!

[@jacobadelsheimer9645]

I love when they have staggered seating. It makes the airtime in the back twice as good as it should be. While I rode it when the trims were barely on, if you ride it in the back row, Intimidator gives you some amazing flojector airtime.

[@Tylerhopkins3106]

[@marty_nz]

Chris, I'm from New Zealand and I've only done three B&M Hypers. They also happen to be the three best ones. All three are in my top 20...in this order - Mako, Raging Bull and then DiamondBack. I love the fact you give Raging Bull some love as it's constantly being crapped on. I suspect it's because Taylor had two rides on it and didn't really rate it as high, then the sheep followed without actually experiencing it themselves. Don't expect the same typical hyper layout and for what it is ...it's an awesome ride. I marathoned the hell out of it over my two days at Great America, almost each ride in the back row. That first drop is spectacular.

I've only been on one of these, Nitro, and that is a spectacular ride in my opinion. The Dive left on the second hill caught me so off guard and it was amazing. The part after the mid-course could use a little more thrill but I'd say it's a great example of what a B&M Hyper can be.

[@johngreenbeck829]

Behemoth is lacking in the original layout department, but when you get a ride where you aren't stapled, it's a pretty dam strong ride. There's a better whip in the back of course, but something should be said for front row outside on the staggered seating cars. I always feel like you're more exposed to the elements which just adds to the wind rushing and such. Great video as always!

[@dajara521]

Good to see Diamonback topping the list. It's been my favorite coaster at Kings Island for years and I've gotten plenty of rides on it. I made two trips to the park in 2020 to ride Orion and get that collector's piece of Vortex. Orion was good but disappointing the first trip, but on the second trip it was seriously impressive. After that second ride I had to go straight to Diamondback to compare them, and the whole time I was in line I was thinking "Diamondback better deliver something real special to keep my top spot at the park." Let me tell you, boy did it deliver. Best ride on it I've ever gotten. Strong floater on every single hill, even the smaller camelbacks toward the end and the drop into the splashdown. Orion impressed me that day, but Diamondback did even more so, defending its spot on my list.

[@tonynussbaum]

I was on Raging Bull for the first time yesterday, in the back row. It's my all time favorite coaster. I actually know what you are talking about when you say "airtime" now.

Ive been on diamondback, intimidator, and mako! Intimidator was unimpressive for me while the other 2 had some very fun stomach-dropping negative g elements!

[@sloviscelery2135]

I'd like to see a B&M hyper by the numbers video, also, Ridden Shambhala and its awesome. The airtime is borderline ejector on every hill before the mid course, and even slowing to a crawl, the final hills offer decent float. The back the drops off the hill feel like intense first drops, considering most are the size of first drops! In the front every valley pulls a surprising amount of positives, and the airtime is stronger, but less sustained than the back. The tunnel on the ride is a great headchoppers, and the first drop is terrifying, considering the only coaster before it I had done comparible in height is stealth. This is all while being Stapled. With an inch of room, back row night ride... the best ride of my life! (but overall smiler is my number 1, shammy bring a close N 2)

[@windowzilla952]

[@njsullyalex2744]

I’ve only been on Nitro at my home park SFGAdv, and needless to say, I’m a fan. I got 3 rides on it in 2020, my final ride was the last of the day on a hot July day, back row, full train (ride ops for whatever reason started doing full trains at the end of the day despite doing half trains all day before). Holy cow, I legit got ejector on some of those drops it was running so fast and that helix is intense and awesome. Easily 2nd best in the park behind El Toro and an elite coaster in my eyes. Also best station music of any coaster out there.

[@speks_coaster_crap7415]

Agree on Diamondback @ No. 1! Flawless ride. Also appreciate the love for Nitro!

[@himbimbly]

Great Adventure is not really my home park, but it's the closest one with a hyper. Nitro usually has almost no line (partially due to massive capacity) and the operators are mad chill, so it's easy to get a whole lot of rides quickly if you're a single rider. The view to the left is a pretty forest, and getting a warm night ride is highly recommended if possible. The upward helix on that and the first one on Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion are the only times so far I've grayed out on a coaster. That being said, that helix is nothing compared to Intimidator. Apollo's Chariot is actually the first roller coaster I went on. I recently went to BGW again, and it was also a cool, damp day. It was definitely running slow and I was a bit disappointed, I'm not surprised to hear you had a similar experience.

[@al0742]

I have ridden Goliath about 20 times so here is my review. First off, at the top of the lift hill, you have a fantastic view of Downtown Montreal and the Saint Lawrence River. You do get stapled most times but when you don't, the floater airtime is amazing. There is one ejector moment I'll mention later. I actually rank it over every coaster at BGT, even Montu and Kumba. Yes it is repetitive but near the end there is a killer outer bank turn that ejects you out of your seat violently and it ends right when you're about to hit the ground. There is also a slight pop of air before you hit the brake run. The coaster track, supports and sign have really nice colours. Bonus, the queue house isn't another metal box. It's my favorite coaster at the park and overall but I haven't ridden many.

[@seancooler12]

Completely agree with Nitro getting more love, as for Candymonium I was able to get full trains on a hot day and it blew me away I could easily see it moving up 4 spots or more

[@CinHotlanta]

I like the way Goliath in SFoG solves its site problems by just going over them and having such a high degree of interactivity with the rest of the park.

[@noname117spore]

If you got good weather for Apollo's Chariot (And probably Candemonium) I'd imagine both would rise in the rankings far, probably into the top half. At least past Intrimidator. The thing is, back in 2018 I got full train back row hot summer day night rides on Apollo's Chariot, and that pre-camera hill has to be the best airtime on a B&M hyper. Yes, better than Raging Bull's main drop from the back (although tbf in 2019 I didn't get airtime on that). Maybe Mako's 5-second camelback competes just due to how sustained it is, but that was more floa-jector. That moment on Apollo's? That was proper ejector airtime. None of that floater nonsense, none of that floa-jector nonsense. Proper. Ejector. Airtime. It wouldn't be out-of-place on an RMC.

[@noname117spore]

You know what? Am I going to say it? Am I going to piss off every coaster enthusiast here? I guess I will... THE AIRTIME ON APOLLO's CHARIOT'S PRE-CAMERA HILL FELT STRONGER THAN ANY AIRTIME MOMENT OUTSIDE OF THE LAST ONE ON LIGHTNING ROD Ok, there we go. Time to get downvoted into oblivion.

[@pappaslivery]

Nitro is the only one of these I've ridden. The drop and camelbacks were great, but the helix and the after mid course brake drop were the most surprising elements. My only problem was I'm a bit big for the seats... I was literally bruised on the sides for a week from two rides on this thing. Still though, it was worth it. Can't wait to go back once jersey devil is done

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I've ridden the same ones as you, all on multiple days and in the warmth. I'm one of those that you referenced near the beginning that just don't see B&M hypers as elite. They're upper-mid-tier for me. Diamondback's strong rattle has spoiled it for me before, but I have gotten a couple decently smooth rides. 9. Intimidator 8. Diamondback 7. Raging Bull (best first drop for sure) 6. Behemoth 5. Apollo's Chariot 4. Goliath 3. Nitro (I totally agree with you!) 2. Candymonium (It rode great for me, and I like the visual of circling the fountain at the end) 1. Mako

[@StamfordBridge]

Nice to hear your views. For me, the top two are easy: 1. Behemoth; 2. Mako. After that it gets a lot harder to pick.

[@zacg_]

I don't understand people knocking Apollo's Chariot. I really think you must have gotten some bad rides due to the weather because the first drop is my favorite first drop on a B&M hypercoaster and the setting is easily the best for a B&M hypercoaster. Since most of them are very similar, mixing it up with a fantastic setting really makes a difference. For me it ranks just behind Mako and Diamondback. The most disappointed I've been on a B&M hypercoaster was Goliath at SFOG. It's really cool in general (as are all B&M hypercoasters) but I found it to be much rougher than the others.

I love seeing raging bull so high! Riding in the back row at night while in the rain is just insane.

[@slaughteredwolf]

I have ridden Apollo in many different temperatures, weather conditions, and with a near empty train and a completely full train. It’s very weird how different the experiences can be. I had a full train ride in the second row on a very hot July day and it was one of the most boring rides I have ever had on ANY coaster. I recently got a ride on Thanksgiving day when the temp was around fifty and it was a blast. Great airtime, no rattle on the helix, and the first drop did have solid ejector. It’s just a very different ride depending on a multitude of circumstances. I will always ride it though because of the high capacity, the usually stellar ops, the journey through the trees, and the bank near the Rhine River.

[@djeez553]

Goliath at La Ronde is a sleeper, it offers so much air time even though it's small. Also fun fact about why it is only 175ft, this is due to Montreal having stupidly strict zone planning. It was originally supposed to be 230ft, but it would have impacted the views of Mont Royal, which is the mountain in the middle of the downtown core. The city has strict height limits as is, and they applied this to La Ronde, which reduced the height from 230ft to 175ft.

I was a bit disappointed and like Raging Bull more. I think the twister section at the end of Bull just makes it a more complete coaster. Diamondback just felt a bit short in comparison. Still a great ride, but was expecting to be more blown away. Too high expectations I guess.

Could you rank the intamin hypers you’ve ridden? Also, I have something to ask u

I have only been on Diamondback and I was very impressed by it. My home park is Kentucky Kingdom so we don't really get any of the floater air time so when I got on Diamondback as my first hyper just a week ago, I was in heaven and wanted to get back on. I still consider Orion and Mystic Timbers better but Diamondback is still amazing!

I've been on Behemoth, Apollo's Chariot, Diamondback, and Nitro. With Great Adventure being one of my home parks, I've ridden Nitro the most and so far it's my favorite. I love the floater airtime in the front row. I prefer to experience my airtime as I'm cresting the hill, not going down the hill. I also rank Nitro higher than Diamondback because it doesn't have the unnecessary seatbelts.

you have GOT to get on Behemoth on a hot day. I've ridden it more times than I could ever count and I have yet to get a bad ride, so when Behemoth isn't cold, it is absolutely a top tier hyper
