B&M Flyers

What are the differences, besides the trains, between the B&M flyer and the Vekoma? What different elements are available? And also, how is the modified steel twister? Thanks.

One is B&M and one is Vekoma. Sorry, that's the answer I got when I asked. :)

Vekoma!

Heh, I answered that question. The difference is really that the station is inverted in the B&M and I think that's about it... Sorry, I didn't completely understand your question when you asked PT300.

I knew that, but that's it? Couldn't you just build different station andtrain types, and have the same thing? I guess thats basically the same thing as inverted compared to a SLC though, besides the inversion size.

Station, train, and track the the main differences between the two. I am not sure if the B&M can do loops though, haven't explored it much.

The B&Ms can only do half loops. This allows you to do a pretzel loop if you use S-bends at the top of the loop

Can you make large half loops like the other B&M coasters?

No. The only inversions are a half-loop and an inline twist.

I love how the B&M flyers are called "flying coasters" and the Vekoma flyers are called "lay down coasters"

LOL :-)

There really is no difference. In the original game if you built a flyer coaster slightly elevated you could drop a bit flip and head up the lift hill in the prone position. The pretzel loop that could be done in the original is exactly the same as the one in RCT2.

Their sound is different too.

I wish you could have bigger inversions I don't care really about the elements but I really wanted bigger inversions for the flyer.

Thats really stupid why cant you do large half loops. Which bring you off to the side a bit like on all the other B+Ms in the game. So we still have to do that stupid S-bend thing. Thats really bad I was really looking forward to making good B+M flyers.
