B&M Flying Coasters Here In the States?

do you think a B&M flying coaster would ever come here to the states, my guess is yes, but b&m and alton towers probably signed that damn contract saying that they have the b&m flying for 2 years and no one else could build one. i would love one here in my homepark of great adventure.

well if the B&M flyers turn out like the B&M inverteds then we can expect to alot in the future.

Hmmmmmm, I wonder if these things will steel the invert's fire...?

B&M can not go wrong . They are going to make the flying coaster a common sight. They sat by and watched vekoma and their duchman fall apart and now their gonna bring us one hell af a ride. i think by 2003 their will be five B&M fliers in the us

nice. what parks do you think the flying would go to.

Well of Course, SFAW! lol, I wish!!

May be in a few years we will se Busch Gardens get a couple flyers to go along with there inverts

well the flying coaster are taking shape just like the inverted ones. verkoma came out with the SLC, in this case the flying dutchmans. then B&M came out with there version and nothing been the same since then.

Jephry...the reason that Dive Machines weren't mass produced was because of cost. For such a short little coaster (lift, turn, dive, fan turn, brakes), it cost a fortune! I don't know exatly how much Oblivion or G5 cost, but the trains that B&M created for this ride alone cost a pretty penny!

I would see one being put in at IOA, BG, SFGAdv... Because they seem to like B&M to build their coasters. I think that AT signed another contract with them not to produce the flyer.

Actually, B&M came out with the first inverted coaster (Batman at SFGAm) in 1992. Vekoma didn't introduce the SLC until 1994 (El Condor at Six Flags Holland).

I think we will see a B&M flyer in the U.S. soon. The flying coaster isn't a one trick pony like the dive machine, so I can see more parks putting them in.

The word out of IOA is that ANOTHER B&M will be going in there, at least that's what the signs say. Whether it will be a flyer, a floorless, or something else is up in the air. Since they have a sit-down (Hulk) and double-inverted(DD), options for more B&M's become limited...and SeaWorld, <10 miles away, HAS a floorless, so we'll have to wait and see....

I was just gonna set that straight myself. The Batman was the first inverted or SLC, they are the same just different names. I think if they signed a contract with Alton Towers it is more like limiting B&M to not making another flyer within a certain region or distance to Alton. They can't stop them from building them here, since most parks here are not competition with Alton. I believe they will be building some here soon, perhaps in a year or two, but who knows?

Any resemblance to living or
dead people is purely coincidental.

My guess would be SFGAM. They have a great working relationship with B&M.

First B&M Coaster - Iron Wolf

First Inverted B&M - Batman

First Hyper-Twister - Raging Bull

Look for the Flying coaster to make it's home at SFGAM.

I wouldn't be shocked to see one at a Busch park. Busch seems to have a very good relationship with B&M, and I think all of their parks except SWT are due another coaster. I wouldn't be shocked to see SWC get one, to start with a splash, just as SWO did with Kraken.

May I remind you all that Alton and B&M have techniclly been working on this coaster for 7 years which means I am pretty sure Alton will have a deal with this coaster, as If I was a manager at Alton Towers or if I was John Wardley , I would be very pissed if I found a park in America getting the same kind of coaster just a year later or even on the same year.

I wouldnt worry, I am sure you Americans will get a B&M Flyer, But you have to understand that another Exclusive Contract between Alton and B&M will be a Fair Deal this time simply because of the fact they have been working on it for so long.

I agree with that statement, although I also think that Six Flags Great Adventure will receive one that same season or the season after. After all, they have the second Batman: The Ride (1993), Medusa - the first floorless coaster (1999), and Nitro.
As for seeing these things all over the place, I highly doubt that will happen. Expect this new design to be no cheaper (probably more expensive, actually) than any other B&M coaster, so the chances of them becoming the next Boomerang are pretty slim.
