does anyone else not realy like b&m trains? i think they are some of the best looking(mf has best), but they dont have that much room. i hate those arm rests and the over grown otsr that swallow your head. if i want to hold up my hands, i have to lift them up in the station and keep them there the entire ride. anyone else not care for the trains? i think they are overated.

B&M trains are great especially for people who usually go with more than two people in a group to a park.

Ride a non-looping sitdown (Apollo's Chariot, Raging Bull)... you'll change your mind about B&M trains.

On the looping B&m it is hard to put your hands up.
If I want traditional steel loopers I will ride Arrow but for inverts and hypercoasters than its B&M all the way. The trains on Raging Bull are the best for holding the arms up and sticking the legs straight out. There is more room on that ride than humanly possible.
I love the seats on Apollo's Chariot.They are reclined back a little and super roomy. I wonder if I could buy seats from B&M to put in my car.

That's my one beef about the RB trains, they are almost *too* comfortable. They put my living room furniture to shame (LOL). I like a little shake rattle and roll to my coasters, and these trains are super smooth. At least with the Intamins (based on S:ROS @ SFA) there is a little transfer of vibration of the track to the legs. With your feet so free it really is like your flying. I dont want to fly on a coaster. If I wanted to fly, I would skydive. I want to "feel the road" so to speak. But hey that's me =]
Me and my friend would be willing to sleep on Apollo's Chariot. I think it would be quite comfy. Riding all thorughout the night, oh yeah.....

DOWN WITH TRIM BRAKES!
I do agree that it's hard to put your arms up, especially if the person next to you wishes to also. You gotta agree that the seats are VERY comfortable though!
All rides with OTSR are hard to put the arms up. I pretty much gave up on that due to bruised shoulders. Like Jeff said, ride the 2 B&M coasters with no loops which means no OTSR and you have all the room you can handle.
