For me, Banshee doesn’t need the whip, that first drop alone is enough to make it my #1. Plus I love how different it is from the others and provides a tremendous amount of hangtime in all of its inversions. Stoked to see Flight Deck made this list! It deserves all the love it gets, despite being the shortest invert.

I was quite disappointed that Banshee's execution of those elements entirely lacked the whip (and floating feeling) that is usually provided with those on most inverts. Removing the best parts of an invert and giving it inferior restraints is not a good recipe. I absolutely love the dive off the mid-course break run on Montu, and Banshee has nothing to compare to that as well. It's sad because being so much newer, B&M could have easily made Banshee one of the best inverts ever. And I agree with Taylor, that it instead ended up inferior to even the Batman clones.

@@aaroncollins1187 I rank it much higher than most. Even after 2 Batman clones the fact that they're exact clones makes them pretty low on my priority list when I go to a park that has one. They're certainly good clones but if Six Flags didn't want to pay for new designs they could have cloned other versions, preferably from overseas although I know they don't operate for enthusiasts and the GP won't care/might even like seeing familiarity if they've been to other Six Flags parks. That said I wouldn't complain if Dragons clones were built even though I've ridden both, preferably for a park that would utilise the dueling. Or a park like Knotts, Carowinds, or Cedar Point built second inverts that dueled their current inverts, it certainly brings both Dragons up in the invert heirchy.

You love trenches on inverts? Come to Europe and you’ll have a completely different top 10

@@TheGreatGritzy I suspect rides like Nemesis and Black Mamba probably would be top 3 inverts if I got to ride them (don't see anything overtaking Montu). I don't see it happening for another 2-3 years at this point being that I'm currently unwilling to get on a plane because of the relaxed mask restrictions and COVID still being a thing.

@@TheGreatGritzy And I actually have been to Europe, sadly not for coasters though since there aren't really any in Portugal (I looked at potentially taking a train to Madrid or Barcelona but it was not workable being there for school. And that's not where the best European coasters are anyways).

I love inverts haven't been on other ones like Banshee but when they put the train backwards on The Batman ride at Great Adventure I'll never forget that ride that was so fun 😩🙌🏽

Alpengheist is my favorite, it just crushes you in that first half. Then you die on a badly made transition to the overpowered brake run. But then the second half still feels decently paced and has some fun inversions.

Raptor for sure is a fantastic B&M Invert. Having been on both Raptor, and Montu I can attest that they are both elite inverts. The only other one I have been on is Banshee which I enjoy a lot more than most people do.

Batman at SFOG is great and was my first invert at my home park. When I visited Busch Gardens Tampa and rode Montu, my reaction to that one was more of a "meh" since I had ridden the crazy SFOG Batman so many times. Batman has no dead spots in it at all, and it's honestly a great ride that deserved to be cloned. I think if it weren't a clone, it would be much higher on the list.

I agree, I don't think Montu's anywhere near as good as it gets made oit to be. Good coaster, but when the dragons were there, it wasn't even the best invert on Florida!

I thought so, until I rode Montu in the front. Front vs any other row is like night and day!

Very strange that Cedar Points ride is on the list, despite being one of the most boring rides I've ever rode. Banshee is definitely more intense than Raptor. Including Raptor is bozo material.😹🤡
@thepanman20242 жыл бұрын
Just gotta say nemesis is number one for me. And black mamba close behind. Nemesis just hits so hard, defo the most intense invert and it fits the theme like a glove with the intensity, roughness and every element hits so hard. The roughness adds to the experience which is crazy to say, John Wardley's magnum opus!

Must’ve rode the Batman clone at SFSTL at a bad time. As someone who has SFSTL as their home park, I’ve noticed that if you ride it on a very hot day with a full train, it absolutely rips through the layout

B&M Inverts are my favorite coaster model in the world! I've loved every one I've ridden and always place them either in my top 25 or just barely missing the cut. My top 2 are also Montu and Raptor, in that order. Raptor is probably my number 0, as I can't get enough of it, and I'm always blown away by the intensity and pacing. I still have it ranked in my top 15. Montu is a better ride, but they're not too far off from each other.

I’ve been hoping for this ranking for a while. Pleasantly surprised to see Nemesis Inferno in there. Admittedly there are many enthusiasts in the UK who believe it gives a better ride experience than the original at Alton Towers. Inferno is unique in having that long pre-lift section and the interlocking corkscrews.
