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 agree. To be fair, I haven’t ridden any other inverts so I feel like I shouldn’t judge. When I went to cedar point raptor was closed. I just don’t think the vest restraints can be that bad.

I've ridden four of these now and there is no way that the Batman clones are better than Banshee. It could be that the original Batman is at my home park and I've rode it hundreds of times since it opened. I just rode Montu for the first time yesterday and I would go 1-Montu 2-Banshee 3-Raptor.

I'm shocked Banshee wasn't on this list! I get that it has been getting rough, but I would put it way over the Batman clones. I'm not surprised that Alpengeist didn't make the list. When I rode that, I was bored. It pulled no forces and was too smooth. I heard that people said it was rough, but I disagree... There was no head banging what so ever (It might have something to do with me being 6'3). Anyway, great video as always!

I found the majority of Alpengeist very forceful. Its has one bad transition but thats about it. Banshee has gotten a bit shaky from my last ride but it has the best drop and the best mix of inversions on an invert ive ridden. Its definetly better than everything on this list except Montu.

I'm glad to see Banshee not on this list. I don't like Banshee's layout, and the vests just reduce the quality even more. Two of my favorite parts on Raptor are the first drop and the zero-g roll. 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.

Hey thanks for the video, I enjoyed it! I do love riding them, BUT I have a phobia: Strapping in one when my legs dangle. 😮 Because you can’t control involuntary functions like breathing, tremor, & blood pressure; I knew my panic was real. Still, I’ve never let my fear stop me. Especially when I know the fear is irrational. So, I finally did it! I refused to miss out any longer, & by chance it happened to be on the Silver Bullet. 6 inversions & 3100+ feet of track later, I exited the ride. My knees were shaking! 😅 Just wanted to say that late 50’s is not too old. You’re as old as you feel. Keep on conquering life, one fear at a time! It’s a worthwhile journey! ❤

I've ridden 3 of these so far, and I love a good invert. I have them ranked as 3. Batman the Ride (SFOG) 2. Afterburn 1. Montu I will say that Batman at Over Georgia is relentless from start to finish, can't say how the other clones feel but I can agree that this Batman is running great. Afterburn is a longer ride with more terrain, so I prefer it to Batman. The front row is also much better as you get more wind. Montu wasn't #1 until I got to ride the front recently (twice) and it is insane. Front row vs any other row is like night and day. I know a lot prefer the back of inverts, but I'm front row 100%. I feel like the front is always MORE intense than the back, but then again, I'm the guy who ranks Journey to Atlantis over Kraken and Goliath (SFOG) over Mako, so, I wouldn't trust my opinions lol

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.

Montu for what it does holds it’s own against my other favorites and was my undoubted favorite coaster until Fury 325 and Iron Gwazi and even then I still find myself thinking I’d rather ride montu over those two depending on the experience I want

I only rode 4 Bolliger and Mabilliard. Batman The Ride at Six Flags Over Texas, Raptor at Cedar Point which I loved at all times, Talon Grip Of Fear at Dorney Park, and Banshee at Kings Island.

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

My list from what I have ridden: 10. Raptor 9. Dueling Dragons-Ice 8. Alpengheist 7. Great Bear 6. Talon 5. Flight Deck 4. Patriot (note: I understand it was running a lot faster than normal when I was at WoF, resulting in near grey outs from the bottom of the drop through the first 2 inversions) 3. Dueling Dragons-Fire 2. Afterburn 1. Montu You can tell I love trenches by my top 2, that is what puts Montu and Afterburn over the others for me (well Afterburn anyways, Montu would probably get my top spot either way because of it's crazy intensity and the trenches just further cement it in the top spot for me).

Glad to see someone else comment on Patriot. While I havent ridden as many inverts as Taylor. I honestly would put Patriot above 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

@urbex_coasters 2 жыл бұрын

@@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’ve done 11 B&M inverts (3 of which are Batman clones), here’s my rankings and where they sit in my overall rankings: 1. Montu (14/243) 2. Afterburn (23/243) 3. Banshee (30/243) 4. Batman SFGADV (43/243) 5. Batman SFSTL (44/243) 6. Alpengeist (46/243) 7. Chinese Fireball (60/243) 8. Hungarian Horntail (61/243) 9. Great Bear (63/243) 10. Raptor (66/243) 11. Batman SFOG (92/243) Funny enough, my experiences on SFOG’s Batman and Raptor were the two LEAST intense inverts that I had done. I don’t know if I went on a bad day or not, but I found those two to be far less forceful than any of the other inverts I have done

I've ridden Raptor maybe 100 times. It's not just you, the experience can vary dramatically

@thepanman2024 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!

Montu is my favorite as well. A super underrated one is Silver Bullet! Once you get past that first drop, the layout is amazing! Where else can you find a wave turn on an invert?
