silver2005 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 If its a floorless coaster, my only real request is that it starts off with a jojo roll. I wonder if B&M can put the newer restraints a la Banshee on a floorless. 1 Quote
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 If they can... But maybe newer floorless coaster to be built. 1 Quote

I wish we had more coasters like it across the country. 1 Quote

BeastForever Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 ^No. Not technically. Its still offered in their catalog (https://www.bolliger-mabillard.com/), and a brand new one opened as recently as 2013 in India. Its just that no park since then has asked for one, or the price was not right... This would also be true of stand-ups. They'd still make one if asked, but hasn't been for 20 years nows (and for good reason). Quote

Most parks have either converted to a floor less from a standup or have already built one (at least in the US). I could see them retiring standup coasters though. Quote

Isn't Intamin making a dueling standup/invert model in China somewhere? Quote
