Maverick44 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I have seen some discussion about some of the B&M inverts in the CF chain. I was wondering how we all rank them? Maybe top 3? Mine would be Afterburn - Carowinds Banshee - KI. Raptor - CP. 1 Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I'd have to go 1. Afterburn, Cwinds. 2. Silver Bulltet, KBF. 3. Raptor-CP. 4. Banshee-KI. (I'm not dissing Banshee, she is a fun ride, but I prefer tight layouts. And B&M inverts are not favorites of mine.) 2 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I can't decide what is the best.... I've enjoy the Batman clones...but love Afterburn at Carowinds for the intensity yet smooth ending....love Banshee for the non stop action and love Talon at Dorney. Raptor at CP is okay but hate how rough it can be at the ending although I love the intensity. 3 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Banshee and Afterburn are very close for me. Banshee takes the cake for the more comfy restraints. Banshee - KI Afterburn - Carowinds Raptor - CP 3 Quote
Maverick44 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 Raptor is getting really rough. I wonder if they would ever "rebuild" it like Island of Adventures did to the Hulk. 1 Quote
rcwizard13 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I've been on 4 of the B&M inverts. Banshee and Afterburn are the top for me, but I struggle to pick one over the other. The other two are Raptor and Talon. Raptor was great on my first ride, but has been meh ever since. Talon I only rode once, and I honestly can't remember the experience. Which is kinda sad considering it was only this past June, but oh well. 1 Quote
VortexBFForever Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I really enjoy Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Out of the three B&M inverts I've ridden (Alpengeist, Raptor, and Banshee), it's my favorite! 3 Quote
d-lo775 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I've been on every B&M invert in North America except for the ones in California. I would rank the top 3 as: 1) Banshee 2) Montu 3) Afterburner Honorable Mention: Alpengeist The Worst: Great Bear 2 Quote
Maverick44 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 Ahh yes I forgot about Montu. Hmm I have yet to be on Alpengeist. I hear great things. 1 Quote
shadow9542 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I have only been on Banshee, Raptor and the now defunct Dueling Dragons at Universal Orlando. I happened to like Dueling Dragons better as Banshee ended up giving me a headache so bad that I had to sit down and drink water so I could continue on in the park. Ranking: 1. Dueling Dragons 2. Raptor 3. Banshee 1 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 If we're just talking CF B&M inverts... 1. Talon 2. Banshee 3. Patriot If we're talking all B&M inverts... 1. Montu 2. Talon 3. Great Bear 1 Quote
VekomaRulz Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 1. Raptor 2. Banshee 3. Montu 4. Talon 5. Dueling Dragons Fire 6. Dueling Dragons Ice 7. Silver Bullet 8. Great Bear 9. Batman The Ride (Great Adventure) 1 Quote
silver2005 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I've only been on a handful of B&M inverts- 1. Banshee 2. Raptor 3. Great Bear 4. Batman: The Ride (NJFTP) 1 Quote
goettablitz Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I must say that Montu is my hands down favorite (no competition) invert. Ever since I rode it opening year in 1996 it has been one of my all time favorite coasters. If I were to rate the B&M inverts that I have ridden they would probably go something like this: 1. Montu 2. Fire Dragon 3. Banshee 4. Raptor 5. Afterburn 6. Alpengeist 7. Ice Dragon 8. Silver Bullet 9. Batman Clones 1 Quote
diamondBanshee011 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 1. Banshee 2. Alpengeist 3. Raptor l'll be at Busch Gardens Tampa tomorrow though, so Montu might change things. Edit: Montu is now my #1 invert 3 Quote
rhyano Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 1. Banshee 2. Montu 3. Raptor 4. Afterburn 5. Dueling Dragons (Fire) 6. Dueling Dragons (Ice) yeah I didn't get Dragons, while I did like Fire, Ice just gave me a headache, and was pretty rough for a B&M (at least that's how I feel) 1 Quote
Maverick44 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 I'd really like to go ride Alpengeist. 1 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 I've never totally understood the love a lot of people have for Alpengeist. To me, it headbangs enough that it ruins the ride (especially in the cobra roll and the turn into the MCBR.) If I want to ride something that goes upside down at BGW, I'd so much rather get on Loch Ness Monster or Griffon. But, that's me! I do really like its theme, though. 1 Quote
purdude86 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 I've only been on a handful of B&M Inverts but my top 3 woudl probably be: 1 - Banshee 2 - DC - Chinese Fireball 3 - DC - Hungarian Horntail The only other one I've been on is Raptor and while it's fun it's also pretty rough. Finally get to ride Montu later this year and see where it lands on the list 1 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 I haven't been on a lot B&M inverts but 1. Batman 2. Banshee 3. Raptor 1 Quote
crizzy Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I have been on almost all B&M Inverts in the US, and on all the ones that most people consider the best. 1) Afterburn 2) Montu (close second) 3) Batman (SF Great America) 4) Several other Batman Clones 5) Alpengeist 6) Banshee 7) Raptor 8) Talon The rest kinda blend together due to being all too similar. 1 Quote
Honorarius Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 1) Banshee 2) Raptor 3) Alpengeist 4) Le Vampire 1 Quote
That_B&M_Roar Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Hello everyone! Long time reader. First time "post-er"! As far as the topic at hand, my top 3 goes as follows, Alpengeist Raptor (tie) Banshee and Great Bear 3 Quote
sixohdieselrage Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Welcome to KIC @That_B&M_Roar Now, I've only had a Gold Pass since I was younger. So I haven't had the luxury of going to other parks. Only to KI. So my favorite is Banshee. :P Maybe my Platinum Pass will change that this year. Haha 2 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I have only been on a few inverts but to me the best in the business are the Batman clones. The quickness and forcefullness of the those rides are par to none. 1 Quote

BuckeyeBond Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 My top 3 B&M inverts follow as: 1. Afterburn "Carowinds " 2. Banshee "Kings Island" 3. Montu "Busch Gardens Tampa" 1 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Mine is Banshee Afterburn Raptor Although honestly, If I rated them out of 100 It would probably be, Banshee 92.5 Afterburn 92.4 Raptor 88.5 1 Quote
Tera Ryzing Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 How can people rank Batman so low? 1 Quote
