yeah Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Tall? Headchoppers? Pain? Altitude, you could have worded your post a little bit better, not because it's offensive or anything, but because it sounds like you hit your head on the headchoppers every ride.

Coaster Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't find any of the coasters at Blackpool rough apart from Infusion on a bad day, it's all down to opinion though. Ian-S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude, you could have worded your post a little bit better, not because it's offensive or anything, but because it sounds like you hit your head on the headchoppers every ride. it's the vests.... when you're tall and they go tight they literally dig in so much to your collar bone and tops of your shoulders which is very uncomfortable once the ride has hit the brake run and you've realised how tight it is!

Deleted Users Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Anyone that has Swarm in there top 10 is basic and needs to actually go and travel the world or ride shambhala. Check your coaster privilege. Graw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Users Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Do I see someone bragging about their coaster count when they've only done their first wooden and foreign coasters this year? Also, B&M standups are dreadful, like, really awful... Riddlers is legit good though. Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm gonna hold my hands in the air and admit I am basic because - I love The Swarm Like some others I have only ridden the 5 B&M coasters in the UK and I love them all (least fave is Nemesis Inferno because I can't breath on it!) For many years now I've wanted to ride The Hulk and Manta - maybe one day. Mark9 - I'm extremely jealous of your B&M ride count - my face was like this just reading it >>>>> :o I think I'm basic too then, Swarm isn't in my top ten, but I think its a great ride, the second best at Thorpe certainly and definitely more enjoyable to ride then a lot of rides in Europe. Bless ya though Han, my B&M list is relatively small compared to the hardcore enthusiasts out there that chase the creds. In the UK, we're very lucky to even have five B&M's, let alone the first inverter, flyer and dive machine in Europe. Whilst a lot of people don't like Oblivion and Air, I think they're great for what they are, particularly now as both ride types have taken off quite massively in the last five years, too think for a long time there was only one dive machine in Europe, and now there's four is a bit strange.

yeah Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Valravn at Cedar Point is going to be B&M's 100th roller coaster and will break 10 records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I know, but I was a little confused at first because I thought he meant he got hit by the billboard every ride How were you confused? I clearly said in my post... I think I would rate Swarm in my top 10 if it was slightly longer, and those god awful vests didn't have the locking pins on the shoulders. It's literally what destroys the ride for me, and because I'm tall, it's agonising. It's painful because of the vests, so no, I don't think I needed to word my post better!

Benin Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Riddlers is legit good though. I barely remember it tbh, which is usually a bad sign (arguably worse than remembering a ride for being dreadful)... The one at Great America was really dreadful though, mainly cos the ride ops locked the seating way too early, but that's a flaw with the stand-up design really... And Mantis was quite bad as well (hence why they've converted it since)... I'm currently listing my B&Ms and it's actually really difficult because the mid-card is still really strong... Is Medusa better than Kraken? Is Diamondback better than Silver Star? So many questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I find B&M standups a mixed bunch. Vortex at Carowinds is pretty dreadful and Mantis was rather unpleasant too, but Georgia Scorcher is actually pretty good, and I was very impressed by Green Lantern (though I'm not sure how much that was due to me expecting it to be rubbish). Part of the problem with them it that getting your seat adjusted correctly is difficult even if you've ridden a few and know where you want it. I often find I've got it somewhere vaguely comfortable only for the op to unlock the row when I'm not paying attention and when it relocks I can only just reach the floor.

J.S217 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 B&M rides Nemesis: Gets boring. Baron: 1898 Experience outstanding ride okay. Nemesis Inferno: Fantastic Coaster still number 1. Air: only flying Coaster I've ridden. Black Mamba: Super Coaster forceful but last section of the ride is samey. Oblivion: Does what it does fun coaster. The Swarm: Very forceful on certain elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 B&M rides Nemesis Inferno: Fantastic Coaster still number 1. Now why doesn't this surprise me Should get most ones done by 2017 hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 My B&M count that I can recall is 26: Nemesis InfernoThe SwarmNemesisOblivionAirSilver StarDragon KhanBatman The Ride (SF Over Georgia)Georgia ScorcherGoliathKrakenMantaDragon Challenge – BlueDragon Challenge – RedHulkBatman – The Ride (SF Great Adventure)BizarroGreen LanternNitroSuperman – Ultimate FlightApocalypseMontuKumbaSheikraLeviathanBehemoth Best 3Leviathan – incredible first drop, insane airtime and the smoothest B&M I’ve ridden despite being the tallest and fastestKraken – such a solid and re-ridable ride with a reliable layout (AND I got lifthill evacuated which was my SeaWorld highlight)Sheikra – somehow doesn’t quite pack the punch of Oblivion but tops it because of the rest of the layoutWorst 3Manta – The bottom of a pretzel loop is just awful, the few seconds you’re down there are just horrible. The water skim element is fun to ride and is a great visual. What was there before Manta, does anyone know?Green Lantern – similar story to Manta, uncomfortable and feels like an endurance test so not enjoyable, Georgia Scorcher, a smaller stand-up is far superiorSuperman – Ultimate Flight – similar story to Manta again, uncomfortable and feels like an endurance test so not enjoyable, Air, a smaller flyer is far superior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordanluke2009 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well done to everyone for admitting they are basic have a round of applause from me. The reason I don't like The Swarm is because the restraints do like to dig into my collar bone and after riding baco and riding Swarm to death that the vibrations do put me off riding it. As well I think it's got abit to forceful for my liking when I rode it last year the force was manageable whereas now it just makes me grey out too much.

Jordanluke2009 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Honey boo don't call me basic that just makes you even more basic. Dragon Khan is more intense than The Swarm and I didn't grey out once. Swarm the only good thing about it is the theming which is absolutely fantastic. Love you Jamie.

Benin Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 The irony of you calling anyone else basic is amazing...
