if tatsu was just a lift hill and its pretzel loop id still get back in line to reride it

Next up: Chris ranks all the Batman clones

B&M is the most consistent manufacturer in my opinion

Hulk be like "is Hulk joke to you, puny human?" 😂

I'm happy to see Dominator on here. I think it's a great underrated floorless coaster with perfect smoothness, layout, and intensity with some really solid pacing.

"Sheikra doesn't have much to it" Wait until he finds out about Oblivion at alton towers 😂😂

when he includes dragon challenge *everyone liked that*

Whenever you get to ride Nemesis, if I were you I wouldn’t hype it up too much. It’s a short ride, so the chances of it topping something like Montu are slim. Definitely try it in the front row first to see the terrain and near misses. Then try the back for the forces.

I really hope you can get a re ride on Georgia scorcher because it’s honestly just as good as riddlers revenge

Busch Gardens Tampa is my home park and Kumba rocks. It is super intense and awesome. Another great video!

Baron 1898 gets really good reviews and many people say it’s their favorite dive coaster

Great Bear is my favorite B&M looper. Its super whippy and sounds so badass

I love b and m. I want to be an engineer for them eventually, and build one for my home park, which uses them a lot, Kings Island.

Chris, you're not missing anything about Firebird. If you ever do ride it, I'd be willing to bet that the ghost of Iron Wolf will make your twins vibrate.

Montu doesn't just do a batwing into a trench, it does a batwing into a *themed* trench

I feel like Bizarro at SFGA is underrated. It has a decent layout with head choppers and feet choppers, doesn’t have a rattle that I could notice, and it’s surprisingly smooth for its age. Not to mention, it pulls great positive forces.

In high school, we used to ride the Iron Wolf and do the "Iron Wolf Iron Man Challenge." You had to try to ride the entire thing without putting your feet down. The winner was proclaimed to have balls of Iron. Needless to say, you're not missing much if that's your only missing B&M looper credit in America, since the only reason we'd ride it was to torture ourselves, even when it was relatively new...

It makes me really happy to see Montu so high up there! It is such a smooth ride and the the speed it has through the tunnel into the Immelmann is unlike anything else I've experienced. Plus it's just gorgeous to look at.

“Enthusiasts love an old school b&m” Firebird and vortex: ........

Firebird is the smoothest B&M in Maryland

Georgia Scorcher is such an incredible ride, imo. I'd place it above 1/2 of the hypers, even. I sincerely hope SFoG never converts it!

I had missed the Hulk mention too but for now this is my favorite. Great location, amazing layout and awesome pacing. In Europe it is a tie for me between Nemesis in Alton Towers and AIR in the same park. I love the floating experience in AIR, a real flying feeling, and Nemesis is just Nemesis, epic scenery, great layout and pretty forceful. Love it!

Yukon Striker is not only my favorite B&M looper, but it’s my favorite coaster period. Ever since I was a kid I found dive coasters fascinating and I don’t understand why so many enthusiasts like to hate on them.

Best coaster from every model Vekoma or Intamin has made, an interesting idea....

I’m hyped up, later this week I’m getting rides on montu, kumba, kraken, shiekra, manta, and mako. Florida really is a state full of B&Ms.

my top two probably have to be Nemesis and Black Mamba, both are VERY intense, with the addition of being mostly in trenches and underground (especially Black Mamba, Phantasialand does NOT skimp on theming) so it genuinely feels like there's a risk of having your legs chopped off. A sleeper pick of mine would be Flight Deck at CGA, which unfortunately got that new paint job that isn't quite as intimidating as the all-black color scheme it used to have. It's very short, yes, with only 3 inversions, but it does NOT slow down during the entire layout, and that last helix over the water feels like it's going to rip your legs off.

My favourite so far would have to be Yukon Striker! Considering your love for Valravn, I would say that it's right up your alley. Montu would be my second choice though, so it makes perfect sense why you'd put it at no. 1.

I loved seeing Valravn at # 2. That was a nice surprise. I may not have it as high as you, but I respect you for not caving to enthusiast peer pressure and putting it at # 2. I still think it's a great ride, and it's still my mom's 2nd favorite at Cedar Point. You will love Yukon Striker. It might top Montu for you. My favorite B&M looper is Thunderbird. Least favorite: no contest, it's the crime against humanity known as Firebird, my least favorite coaster of all time.

You know the deal thanks for the dinner reminder

Gatekeeper at Cedar Point is one of the most underrated coasters on the planet. And yes, Valravn is dope!

Great idea for a video! I have been 33 of them. My current top 10: 1. Tatsu 2. Thunderbird 3. Afterburn 4. GateKeeper 5. Raptor 6. Flight Deck 7. Banshee 8/9 Dragon Challenge 10. Superman Krypton My bottom 5: 1.- Vortex 2. Iron Wolf 3. Patriot 4. Georgia Scorcher 5. Riddler's Revenge (Scream was next) Big gap between my #4 and #5. I agree Vortex is the worst by a wide margin. Top 5 bucket list (US Only): 1. Montu 2. Alpengeist 3. Manta 4, Great Bear 5. Kumba . Side note: Valravn is 26th overall out of the 33. I like the last inversion, but the vest restraints kills the drop for me.

Fascinating list. I appreciate your personal takes, which you argued fair. I'd be curious to see a new B&M looper. As you said, their engineering has evolved a fair bit.

Georgia Scorcher is so good!!! Green Lantern is just long enough to kill your legs while Georgia Scorcher doesn’t. And, GS has great airtime

When it comes to steel roller coasters, B&M is my favorite manufacturer. They have so many different models, they're built to last and they're almost ways incredibly smooth. Even their worst roller coasters aren't that rough very much.

Only rode a few B&M's so far, but they've all been great. Favorite looper is Manta, it's just so much fun to fly with the setting, speed, inversions and crazy pretzel loop! Hulk, Montu, and Kraken are all really good rides too. You said you needed a few rides to fully appreciate Montu. I only got 1, so when I go back for Iron Gwazi (and SheiKra, that was closed) I'll certainly ride it again! Kumba is my least favorite B&M so far, but it's still a good ride. My only problem with it is it has an awful rattle that gave me a headache for a few days... Maybe it's better in a different seat/train though. I look forward to riding more B&M loopers in the future, like Afterburn, SheiKra, Wild Eagle, Superman, Batman, Scorcher, and Vortex (wait, not that one)

I should warn you that you are in an upcoming YTP releasing on April Fool's Day. Beware.

Mountu is so snappy! I’m happy to see that it’s your number 1 b&m looper and your number 31 ride!

Props for showing raptor some love! That was the coaster that really did me in when I was a kid. I was hooked after raptor.

Thank you for ranking 3 Ohio coasters at the top of your list! All 3 are awesome! I didn't like Valravn at first cause it how it felt rough on my stomach. But when I rode it a 2nd time (and after riding other coasters throughout the day), it didn't feel so intense, and it ended up winning me over!

Batman: The Dark Knight at SFNE is so average that it will never be mentioned in a list video. just so painfully average.

When you got to the end right before you announced your number one I was freaking out about you not mentioning Montu. So glad to see you gave it the love it deserves. I remember marathoning it the one time I visited and the line for it was short in the morning.

Do a video where you find what coasters are needed at independent parks or Seaworld parks

Montu and Afterburn do compete for the most force at times, but Montu's extra length and extra trenches do give it the edge. Kumba's got a good rattle to it now, so I can see why you ranked it lower. The Hulk may have gotten redone, but it still has some of that ole' headbang. RIP Dueling Dragons

I love Valravn! I finally got to ride it in the fall of 2021. First ride we were in the back, immediately got back on and rode in the front. I love it!

Ugh finally! I love Valravn as well! I never understood why so many enthusiasts hated it.

Montu is amazing and I loved it. Nemesis will always beat everything though. There’s just something about it, I don’t know what. Maybe it’s low to the ground layout, or how it picks up speed? It just rips you around and by the time you’re coming into the brake run you’re so disoriented. I love it.

I read the title as B&M Bloopers.... clearly haven't had my coffee yet.

I'm glad to see Raptor made a great showing on your list. I remember when it first opened, the lines stretched for over four hours. Over twenty years later, Raptor still rules the skies! I found it funny that the only thing good you could say about Rugaroux/Mantis was its color scheme. I hated Mantis as a stand-up coaster, and love the floorless configuration. However, I still prefer the name and color scheme of Mantis over Rugaroux.

Wildfire at SDC never gets the love it deserves.

As a coaster enthusiast who has never been outside italian parks, I only have 3 B&M coasters in my credit list, and those being Raptor and Oblivion at Gardaland and Katun at Mirabilandia. Of course, Katun tops them all. That's all I can say about B&M for now, sadly : (

Pretty good list chris. Trust me you are missing NOTHING with firebird. Also Banshee used to be a top 15 coaster for me when I first rode it in 2014 but now I wouldn't even put it in my top 50. Unfortunately it wins first place for coaster I've fallen out of love with over the years. The thing's rattle has gotten rediculous since I first rode it amplified by those vests. No idea why that is since Alpi, Montu, Afterburn, and others have remained incredibly smooth over the years.

Here's my ranking of the B&M loopers I've ridden. 01: Afterburn at Carowinds 02: Bizarro at Six Flags Great Adventure 03: Talon at Dorney Park 04: Gatekeeper at Cedar Point 05: Batman: the Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure 06: Hydra: the Revenge at Dorney Park 07: Raptor at Cedar Point 08: Green Lantern at Six Flags Great Adventure 09: Great Bear at Hersheypark 10: Vortex at Carowinds 11: Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great Adventure 12: Mantis at Cedar Point As an addendum to this list, the only non-looping B&M's that I've ridden are Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure, which is my number one B&M and all time favorite roller coaster, and Intimidator at Carowinds, which a ride that I'm not too fond of especially compared to Nitro; it probably would sit between Green Lantern and Great Bear on this list. I need to get out to more amusement parks so I can experience some of the true elite B&M's since Nitro and Afterburn are the only two that ever get any praise on my list.

Great video to watch after just getting back from a trip to Florida where I rode several awesome B&Ms. I think every B&M in Florida is really good and I thought SheiKra was butter smooth. Strangely, the only 2 that I thought had small rattles were Hulk and Manta but again, every single B&M in the state is fantastic. Obviously the best being the non looper Mako.

5:43 R.I.P. phone

Tatsu is my #1 and my puny count includes Raptor and Griffon. To me it's a flying coaster like Superman at GAdv or Air at Alton Towers the same way Millennium Force resembles the Coney Island Cyclone.

I really enjoy your videos ATT!! I must say that I find your Coaster Palate to be quite unique compared to other popular KZfaq Coaster Channels and I really appreciate your uniqueness!!

Superman was my first inversion coaster, rode it front row after an entire childhood of fear of going upside down, I fell in love, and rode every ride at fiesta Texas and over Texas front row that week

I'm so sad to not here too much trashing of Firebird, as you havent ridden it 😥. There is absolutely nothing good about Firebird lol

Montu was my first "adult" coaster, and permanently ruined my expectations of coasters. I have yet to find another ride in my 18 years of riding coasters that beats it. Also I might have the unofficial record for most rides on Montu in a single day. On a lazy summer day in 2007 I rode it 73 times in a row without getting off.

Medusa is far and away the best coaster at Discovery Kingdom. The smoothness with all the loops is just amazing... especially in the front row where the feeling of flight is strongest.

I understand it was the name of the ride upon closing, but for the people like me who grew up in central Florida (my late dad even worked at Universal for a few years), it will ALWAYS be Dueling Dragons, with the two sides as Fire and Ice. I got to ride it many times before they changed the name, long before little magic boi got the best dueling coaster ever built removed.

Dominator is so underrated, it’s nice to see it on here

My favorite B&M looper is definitely Tatsu if we're counting flying coasters, and I actually prefer it slightly over Fury as my favorite B&M just because of how incredible it feels flying over the mountain and diving into the bone crushing pretzel loop. Also, unpopular opinion: Rougarou is my favorite floorless. I haven't been on Kraken yet, though it looks like it could definitely top Rou. I definitely like Medusa too, but its honestly a bit too graceful for me to rank it higher than Rou.

Just as a heads up for whenever you get to ride Firebird, RIDE IN THE VERY LAST ROW! Its the only somewhat smooth ride. And keep your head forward of course. But nice video.

My favorite B&M Looper is Banshee at KI cuz I've ridden it the most out of all of them that I have ridden. It is a really good ride and a front row ride is just crazy. Highly recommend for anyone going to Kings Island!

I knew Vortex was going to get the #1 worse!!! I agree completely! I'm really glad Afterburn ranked high though because I love that coaster!

Finally someone agrees with me about Kumba. It was intense but I got a rough ride on it even though I was in the front row.

Montu is sooooo good!! I need to get back on it!! It’s been since 2014... Valravn #2, interesting... I enjoy this coaster and is my favorite Dive... Next time you’re at Carowinds, I will show you the Vortex magic seat, and trust me, you’ll love it! 😂

What's better than Montu ? If you like strong and majestic layouts with world class inversions (Katun's cobra roll is pure ecstasy), substantial pacing, stunning theming and barely no brakes, well Katun is your pick here. And there's also OzIris. It's surely less intense, but much more subtle and balanced. There's a tiny airtime in a tunnel between the loop and the Imelmann which contrasts with the positive G's of those 2 inversions : it's absolutely lovely !

Raptor is what I compare every inverted coaster to. Most of the time, it's "It's fine, but it's no Raptor."

Griffon is still super smooth. Definitely my favorite dive machine.

I have some friends that list Georgia Scorcher as their favorite ride in the park. I loved it when I was a kid just barely tall enough to ride it, but now I wish they would at least convert it into a floorless. Ideally, they would just build a new ride there. It could still be floorless, and they could add in one of those massive loops like Dominator and Superman Krypton, inch a little bit closer to Mind Bender, maybe cross the road like Goliath. I doubt that will happen soon, but man would it be nice to have a better ride there.

My favorite B&M looper is.........Kumba! I always go back and forth between it and Montu but last November Kumba was running incredible.

The hate for Vortex. Ouch lol that was my first coaster so it'll always be sentimental to me. As for my favorite B&M loopers. Great Bear is my favorite inverts and Bizzaro is my favorite floor less.

Great Bear looks weird and nothing special on the surface, but imo those inversions are forceful (holy crap that zero g), that opening helix is surprisingly forceful, and who can get over that roar? a work of art from B&M, especially considering their restrictions (unable to build supports in the creek).

B&M have made some great casters outside of America as well. In England, we have a VR tide (we'll not anymore but originally did. Kinda at the start it had no vr, then it was turned into having vr then most of the headsets were dozen which ended up with like 0 vr headsets.) We also swarm which is the second wing coaster to be built and the only one in the UK. I wish we had some good rides over here but we stick to the great themings.

When Chris has more Vekoma Credits than all your Credits :| Makes me so mad when you say Superman is a must ride because this last weekend I couldn’t ride it due to two hour lines and breaking down and I know I won’t be back for a while. Looked awesome, great video!

Carowinds is my home park and I know I’m in a super minority here, but Vortex is actually a pretty fun ride. There is definitely an art to the standup restraints, but if you know how to wear them there is a lot of enjoyment to be had. It’s a really unique experience to ride front row while standing up, and honestly I’ve been on B&M’s with much worse rattles. There’s rarely ever a line and I find myself riding it when I’m switching between Fury and Intimidator almost every opportunity I get. It’s certainly not a masterpiece, but I would miss it if they took it out.

Georgia Scorcher is by far the best standup. I’d put it well above many on your best list. It has tons of airtime in the back and it’s super smooth.

5:42 bro someone's phone flew away 😂

Hello, it is I, the alpengeist fanboy! My favorite B&M looper right now is actually kumba, followed by the incredible hulk, and the trio of inverts I've ridden. The inverts are alpengeist (obviously), montu, and great bear. I've ridden others, but these rides are in my top 10 out of about 53 credits

i’ve only ridden 4 but nemesis is brilliant

Banshee is my favorite B&M, but i have only ridden 4

I get why people say patriot’s a little boring but the way you face the lake makes up for it

I dont get how Chris could hate rougarou and say green lantern is underrated in other videos when they have basically the same layout

I think you'd LOVE Katun at Mirabilandia, italy- huge invert with big swooping inversions and a very high, straight drop. Super intense and still runs like a charm

My only b and m coaster is a Batman clone at SFSL. I enjoy it a lot and its my second favorite coaster in the park. First is the screaming eagle. But that's mostly for sentimental reasons as it was my first coaster ever. Gave me a love of coasters of the wooden type

I went to Busch Gardens again after a few years and I am convinced that there is no other ride in Florida better than Montu, its not the smoothest ride but that makes it so much better and it has that beautiful sound, I'd say it is a must ride

Starting with Montu as my first coaster really blew my comparison scale. It was weird never having a ride after my very first match that kind of intensity for quite a long time

I think dragon khan gives Montu a run for its money, especially at night when it’s running super fast and aggressive, one of the most intense rides I’ve ever been on

You seriously need to ride Flying Dinosaur. That zero G roll and a half into a reversed raven turn into a pretzel loop is the craziest set of three elements

suggestion: mine trains ranked/prime ride time

So, did you see the new YTP where you fail a Sporcle quiz, Chris?

As always, Hydra don't get no respect... I actually really liked your rankings. Keep up the good work!

my favorite is the hypothetical B&M Invert that we will get at Valleyfair any day now

Wow I'm surprised by raptor... Whenever I ride it, it always raddles at the end of the ride on the final break and my head gets banged up!

Kumba has a special place in my heart. It was the first big coaster that I rode 20 years ago. Also, it's B&M's looper OG!

My rankings of my FAVORITES thru 156 credits: 10. Superman ultimate flight six flags great adventure 9. Batman clone SFoGA 8. Great White - Sea World SA 7. Gatekeeper - CP 6. Manta -Sea World Orlando 5. Superman Ultimate Flight SFoGA 4. Raptor - CP 3. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa 2. Kraken - Sea World Orlando 1. Banshee - Kings Island I just love riding Banshee.

The Mantis -> Rougarou conversion was definitely a downgrade.

Finally some respect for Dragons Challenge. This was the coaster that I always rode on when I went to the park, I always go red side, just seemed more intense to me. Wish I could have ridden the ride with the dueling feature. I've heard great things about the dueling aspect
