"You get a view of all of the land Worlds of Fun hasn't used yet." That's a very common view at this park. I don't know if I would agree that it's the weakest B&M invert. I think it's one of the most fun and rerideable B&M inverts, and it's one of my favorites. The reason is because of things you touched on: it's smooth and graceful with no headbanging. On some inverts, I have to ride defensively to avoid headbanging, which effects my enjoyment of it. I don't have to do that with Patriot, which makes it one of my favorites. If it is the "weakest", then it works in the rides' favor, in my opinion. It makes this ride a huge crowd pleaser to the public.

B&M inverts are all great so I wouldn’t be surprised if I still love it when if it’s the worst

This is now the closest park to me, although I have yet to visit. While growing up, Great Adventure was my home park, and Batman was my favorite there, followed by Scream Machine and Rolling Thunder. I used to love the back row of Batman so much, and at the time, it was a fairly unique and thrilling experience.

Worlds of Fun just needs so much love.

Kudos on the paint scheme. As a former SF worker (food serv, rides, maintenance) I used to watch rides/buildings being repainted. Ride painting isn't cheap. That white stripe was very time consuming & costly to apply. It has a cool name (love your subtle background music) I am proud WOF has this coaster though. It's a very nice park that still held the "traditional" theme park tone. Still operating a steam powered grand circle tour railroad. This is Defunctland (Ytube channel) Kevin Perjurer's home park. Thanks for the review Canobie!

Of all inverts you could have reviewed, you just HAPPENED to review the one I should be first-time riding next weekend. Now, I know what to expect. Many thanks, haha! P.S. - I CAN'T WAIT to try Prowler! I'm a big GCI fanboy, and Prowler looks great!

It may be the weakest Invert but it does some stuff cool. It has a layout simular to Talon and also like Talon, it has got to have the best color skyme on an invert. The white stripe just makes it look so cool. It looks like the 3rd best coaster at WOF.

Classic B&M curved drop, vertical loop, zero-g roll, immelman combo.

Does this vertical loop feel different compared to the more well known vertical loops on these

Looks like a pretty good ride. Do you prefer this to Dominator at Kings Dominion? I know they are different types of coasters but it's probably the most similar ride I've ridden to it.

You should do a video on the best prelift sections.

Fun ride

I got a few rides on this last year. It is like the state of Deleware. Just kind of there.

I went on a Saturday last June and they were only running 1 train. The ride itself was less than impressive except for the faint airtime which was unique

Is silver bullet better in your opinion? I feel like this would at least be stronger then silver bullet.

I found it funny how you talked about the view at the top of Patriot's lift hill being empty land wof hasn't used yet. What isn't funny is they probably won't use it for a while...

wow. this is the first time I’ve ever heard this take. this coaster is a complete gem.

Which do you prefer on an B&M Invert? A nice and floaty zero G Roll, or a tenacious and extremely whippy zero g Roll found and old school B&M Inverts. I prefer the tenacious zero G Rolls as I am a sucker for tenacious inversions which is why I think the Batman The Ride Clones are very underrated and deserve more love.

I would ride this coaster. I think that this type of coaster would be really good for Canada's Wonderland.

Will you ever review the rides at Canada’s Wonderland

Did you like Patriot at Worlds of Fun more than the Batman the Ride clones at Six Flags parks?

Either going to great adventure or casino pier today.

Now if only Worlds of Fun would use all that land 😂

Best colour scheme on any coaster?

Did you go for opening day 2022?

1:55 haha good 1 😂

cool.

This thing was one of the roughest b&ms the only day I got to go here somehow, so it was kind of just garbage. Luckily Mamba was running trimless and absolutely hauled through and gave airtime on every hill so there was that

they really need to name it christmas coaster

You ever been on Flight Deck at CGA? That gets my vote for bottom of the list.

As a Bills fan I'm obligated to hate on you for the football comment but this is a fair review

This and the St. Louis Batman are the last B&M inverts in America that I haven’t ridden. I guess I saved the worst for last 😆. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Talon.

You forgot that not a single part goer knows what your talking about and it’s enjoyable because it’s not to insane

Cedar point raptor pyrenees parque and patriot has same zero g roll

I am not a fan of B&M’s newer inversions. I find them to be much blander and floatier than their older ones, which were snappier and produced much stronger positive Gs.

This and Talon are the remaining 2 B&M Inverts in the country I have yet to ride (plus a couple Batmans but I've done tons of Batmans). Objectively this does look the weakest one but still nice for the park it's in.

When I rode this in 2017 I thought it was one of the stronger inverts, although maybe it was just running fast when I was there.

Bolliger & Mabillard inverted coater

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

All American coaster

Weak, what means?

I must have gotten a good ride on it, just must have been the day, as it was about a 7.5 for me. I believe the video though, as it's possible to get a freak good ride on something, and I did only get one ride at that cause it was a busy day. For me the one I actually don't like is Silver Bullet (and I have ridden that enough to form a definite opinion on it as I have been to Knotts many times). I also had an amazing ride on Talon, opening year, month actually. It was POURING at Dorney and, well, something else happened that was hilarious but I won't mention it here, then we went on to have a really strong ride and got airtime as well. I mean that's considered one of the weaker B&M's so again we probably just got it on a good day. We had two rides on that one and when the rain stopped the queue was all for Steel Forceless and we waited like 2 hours unfortunately. But see, it's possible we got an exceptionally bad ride on THAT, as we were in the very back car and got not one single pop of airtime, anywhere. And people rave about Steel Force.. so who knows...

Oh gosh a coaster named after the New England Patriots.

Why are they so hesitant to use all that empty land.

I wish WOF didn't end up with such a below-average invert. The only one I rank lower than this is Silver Bullet at Knotts.

coaster

What was your favorite part of the rides on those B&M inverted coasters: Patriot at Worlds of Fun, Talon at Dorney Park and Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm?

Definitely looks like a weaker invert, but in the end, it’s not like this coaster illegally spied on other football teams or used deflated footballs, unlike the other entity that shares this coasters name.

All B&M Inverts Are Not Awful At All Some Are Just Short Or Not The Best Pacing

I went last year and for the most part it's my least favorite B&M Invert. Also they added a soundtrack as you go up the lift, which is more of an 'America' theme and once you crest the lift you hear an eagle screech.

vertical loop zero g roll immelman helix weird straight track corkscrew helix… must be talon for real

This is basically a weaker Talon

Worlds of fun patriot is a talon dorney clone

As a dolphins fan, no

Early

Patriots just took an L in the draft
