I got to give Montu thumbs 👍 up for being the #1 invert in the USA. Better than Raptor, Banshee and Alpengeist. Riding this ride in those trenches did it for me. The pull out on every element in those trenches are so forceful. But the elements like the zero g roll is so graceful. It feels like a long ride. It's like B&M made the perfect invert and it went to the perfect park. You go Busch Gardens Tampa. I know you are striving for the best rides especially when you open Iron Gwazi. You got the best drop tower besides the new one at the park in Orlando and Drop zone at kings Island. All you need now is a top tie hyper or Giga coaster, a few more flat rides and a top tier single rail coaster and you will be my favorite theme park. Thanks Busch Gardens Tampa.

Also, Cedar Point got a contracted "Zone of Exclusivity" with Raptor. For a certain number of years, parks within 300 Miles couldn't build a B&M invert. This is probably why Canada's wonderland (228mi.) and Kings island (170mi) didn't receive a B&M but Williamsburg (435mi) did

[@birdlad]

I’m a FL resident (previously a Universal passholder) here to confirm that the Chinese Fireball track for Dragon’s Challenge was indeed better than the Hungarian Horntail track. It packed such a strong punch, and that airtime hill over the other track’s zero-G roll was one of my favorite elements ever. If I only had time to ride one of them during a visit, I would always pick the fireball. I was seriously upset to see them go.

[@ChibiProwl]

[@reruddock]

The trenches on Montu add a foot-chopper effect, similar to head-choppers on traditional coasters. Totally worth it if riding in the front. Although you logically know it was built high enough to prevent contact, it is still nerve-racking and you reflexively want to pull your feet up. Also, the coaster is straight up intense and the theming is top-notch.

You're top 4 is literally the only 4 I've ridden lol. Definitely can't argue with your placement either, but I'd put Banshee at #1 just because Kings Island is my home park. I rode Afterburn for the first time just 3 years ago (that was actually my second visit to Carowinds after one in 2003). And then I rode Montu 2 years ago. Both of those I thought were amazing as well. Out of all of Kings Island's recent additions, I was most excited for Banshee. I wanted a KI invert ever since I rode Raptor for the first time in like 2006, but I always thought that was a "next level" kind of ride we'd never get...but now we have that, and our own giga.

[@Kreege]

Happy to see you ranked Montu as #1. I grew up in Tampa with busch gardens as my home park and must have ridden it 100+ times. What I find a shame though is the that in the past decade or so they have been trimming the train's speed entering the batwing, and also have significantly increased the breaking force applied at the MCBR. If you search for the opening day footage from 1996(it's on youtube), you can see that neither of these things are in place and the result is the single most intense coaster experience I have yet to encounter. It's not all doom and gloom though, they do occasionally turn off the trim and the MCBR still. If you are ever in Florida during the cooler months of about November-March, take a trip to Busch Gardens. You might just luck out and get the holy grail on North American coaster experiences.

Always been an interesting corner of the park for different/experimental rides. Screamin' Demon, King Cobra, Son of Beast. Not my top rides in the park ever, and usually the last part of the park I'll visit, but usually something interesting over there!

[@DangerrNoodle]

Carowinds is my home park, and Afterburn is go-to for re-rides. It's tucked away in the back and rarely has long lines, and is just an absolute blast. I marathoned it last time I went and I never get tired of it. I'm glad you showed it some love!

[@starryagent9936]

Nice to see Alpie getting some love! I personally rank it over Raptor since it has a slightly weaker layout, but has one of the best settings of any invert in the world. When the MCBR is weak, that second half is crazy whippy. It’s also the coaster I’ve ridden the most, so it has sentimental value for me

[@garminkid]

Finally, someone else who prefers Raptor over Afterburn. Afterburn is just too short of a ride for me. I’ve always said that Afterburn with a real second half would be my favorite invert, and that was proven when I rode Montu for the first time. But going back to Raptor: it’s long, extremely intense, and has an awesome setting. I’ve ridden 112 coasters at several large parks (CP, KI, BGT, BGW, SWO, SFMM, Carowinds, etc), and Raptor is still a top ten coaster for me, and my second favorite at Cedar Point, my home park.

[@TheSonicsean]

I like Raptor, but the final brakes just kill it for me. It's the second harshest stoppage on a coaster where my feet are free (the first being the rollover on T3, which feels like a car crash).

[@notjayy1]

I AM SO GLAD YOU COMMENTED THIS YOUR SO RIGHT! I love raptor and I hear a lot of people say it’s a good ride I like everything about it and it’s pretty smooth for a almost 30 Year old coaster and I know this was 3 years ago but I totally agree raptor never gets any credit!

Top Gun (Flight Deck) was my first inverted coaster, and the theming felt so great back then. Short but sweet is the perfect summation. On less busy days we would ride it back to back to back

[@CoasterFriendsYT]

Nemesis is my absolute favourite! It tops Montu, just! Although it is only 13m (42.7ft) tall, it has a drop of 31.7m (104ft) due to it's location, being built in a pit about 30m (98.4ft) underground at some points with no footer being on the same level in the whole ride! The downwards helix is absolutely insane with sustained bone crushing intensity; and all 4 inversions (2 corkscrews, a zero-g roll, and a vertical loop) are incredibly whippy in both the front and back, with an extremely violent pre-drop off the lift hill too 🤣! As of when this comment has been posted, it is closed for the 2 year retrack, but will be back roaring again in 2024!

They must've been running it fast or something because it was the most fun and intense ride I've ever had on a coaster. Gave me a big headache, but I had a huge smile on my face.. Thanks for the video, brought back some good memories. : )

Great list, when I rode Raptor for the first time, I was expecting to be trimmed pretty hard on the mid-course so I was totally unprepared when the train rolled right through, the transition to the right afterward was nuts and that second half was awesome.

[@markusfreestyle7837]

Don’t get me wrong nemesis is really good, it’s in my top 5 coasters in the UK but it’s so overrated

[@SmileBullet]

It looks fairly overrated. Black Mamba, Katun, and Pyrenees look better imo

[@leebicker5051]

@@SmileBullet nemesis is just as good

[@SmileBullet]

Lee Bicker it looks amazing but not like, an S tier invert

[@lincolntrains2639]

@@SmileBullet I think it is overrated but is still an amazing ride, just how it hugs the ground and is quite intense. I think the vertical loop and the zero g roll are tied for best element on it.

[@psychopiano]

only your top 5? Please enlighten me as to what's above Nemesis in that list...

[@Hydrxs]

I completely agree I went on montu and it was just amazing, especially when you do the Immelmann, Zero-G roll and the batwing back to back

[@jamesparkerjr5539]

I loved this list so much. Awesome video once again.

[@jay_Fx4]

Finally! Someone who appreciates afterburn, that is my first and favorite invert out there followed by banshee and then raptor

[@madamk1818]

B&M Inverts helped me get over my fear of roller coasters. The first one, which also happened to be my first roller coaster, was Raptor at Cedar Point. I still need to ride Montu and Banshee, but they are one of my favorite coaster types for a reason. Cheers, Chris!

[@madorhythm]

I remember being in the back row on Raptor. Fun times. The break run didn’t slow us down at all so I was just being whipped around. It was so fun.

[@fletchlivesdaily348]

Definitely agree with your top 5. Great info and list. And living in Orlando I really miss Dragon Challenge...what a great coaster(s). Thnx for the vid.

[@johnunverzagt9387]

The visual of the loop around the lift hill on Banshee is awesome. I did a little comparison of the layout for Son of Beast and Banshee. Both loops are at the same physical location and approximately the same dimensions. The Son of Beast’s loop was 10 ft taller. Just something I found interesting.

[@Tylerhopkins3106]

Loved the video and great list, the only B&M inverted coaster that I have ridden was Batman the Ride at Six Flags Over Georgia but all of the other B&M inverts on your list look so fun!!! Keep up the good work can't wait to see more videos!!!

[@matheustorres5804]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDING THE INFORMATIONS IN METERS AND KPH!!

[@anagarcia-maunez3876]

I haven’t ridden many of these but dueling dragons has always been one of my favorite coasters! I never knew the stats as a kid but everyone somehow knew red was better. Lots of fond memories of that ride.

[@motogpboy]

I've been on the Batman clones, Fire and Ice, Montu, and Top Gun. Top Gun was the first ever "big" coaster I rode as a child (not counting Demon). It's short, but it is definitely intense, and the last helix over the water is one of my all time favorite elements on any coaster I've ever ridden. The setting, speed, and intensity combine for a truly special ride experience.

[@nathanpayne1502]

I agree 💯 with your list. I road Montu in 1998 and instantly became my favorite over Raptor and Alpengist. I love Banshee but it’s 2nd for sure even being from my home park.

[@Williamsmiked8]

I agree Montu is my favorite invert. I’ve ridden it myself 5 years ago and it’s amazing especially in the back.

[@jacobszilagyi284]

I rode Banshee back in 2019 twice and it was my first invert and I am a big fan of it even tho the vest restraints basically try to squeeze you like a hug but tbh it is kinda something i will have to deal with for the time being. The theme and color design i also like

[@ThemeParkUpdate]

When Silver Bullet is my favorite invert... yes I have ridden Montu and alpengeist, but not Banshee which looks to me like the best

[@roxynano]

I love Great Bear! It’s my second favorite invert! (Favorite being Banshee) Great Bear really is intense! It’s my favorite ride at Hersheypark park surprisingly! Plus with its quirks it makes it feel unique! You feel like you are going way faster than you may think probably because it starts with a helix then the first drop! The first half feels like I’m riding a airplane going berserk!

[@mitchellries256]

Of all the B&M coasters I've ridden, my favorite is Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg followed by Montu at Busch Gardens Tampa, Banshee at Kings Island, Dragon Challenge (Hungarian Horntail and Chines Fireball to be exact) at Universal's Islands of Adventure (R.I.P), Raptor at Cedar Point, Goliath at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great America and then Six Flags Over Texas, The Great White at SeaWorld San Antonio and finally Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm.

[@takoyarobinson5708]

My heart was broken for a little until you finally mentioned Montu as number one Lol I was like FINALLY!!!!! I have Loved this ride since I was a kid

[@DavidD-KingWolf65]

Montu is STILL the greatest thing ever ✌️💖

[@joelmoore886]

You really make fantastic videos! Thanks for your hard work! 👍😊
