The first coaster made by B&M after they left Intamin was Iron Wolf at SFGAm. That was also the first one of theirs I rode. The second was the very first Batman:TR. I think Vortex was their ride when they were still with Intamin.

My first B&M was Vortex at PC. I have to admit it is not one of they're best rides, but all B&M's are better than all Arrow loopers in my book. So far I have ridden 14 B&M's and hopefully by next week that mark will turn into 17 when I visit SFGAm! MY favorite B&M's are Apollo's Chariot, Nitro, Kraken, Medusa East, Hulk, Fire Dragon, Raptor, Alpengiest, and Top Gun at PC.

It's my Birthday! Somebody SPANK me!

No, Vortex at PC is all B&M, it was built in '92 (same year as BTR at SFGAm) Also Vortex at PGA and Iron Wolf at SFGAm came before it in '91 and '90 respectivly.

Anyway I have ridden 7 B&M's and hope to make it 9 later in the year with Alpie and AC.

My B&M Rank-
1. Hulk at IoA (my 5th B&M)
2. Top Gun at Carowinds (my 2nd B&M and the coaster that got me "hooked" on coastering)
3. Fire Dragon at IoA (my 7th B&M)
4. Ice Dragon at IoA (my 6th B&M)
5. Georgia Scorcher at SFoG (my 4th B&M)
6. BTR at SFoG (my 3rd B&M)
7. Vortex at Carowinds (my 1st B&M)

Vortex at PGA. By the way, according to RCDB, this is the first B&M built (as an independant company). Is this true? If so, I was the very first person to operate a B&M for the general public! :)


Just looked it up. Iron Wolf was first. Oh well!

Yeeee Haaawwww! *** This post was edited by janfrederick on 7/27/2001. ***

I don't really care for B&M's. Apollo's Chariot was Great, but It would be great no matter who built it. Mabey I am just weird, Arrow is my fav. company, and I am excited about riding a boomerang!

"Bathroom 1 looks too intense for me"-Ed Markey

Orochi in Osaka, Japan was my wife and I's first Beemer. It is a clone of Raptor, and every bit as intense (now since I have ridden both). I was there a few days ago, and rode it seven times. I forgot how intense the back is, or for that matter how awesome (and sometimes frightening) the front row-far right seat is. Great fun....

;)Rollercoasters are like parrots...if you take care of them, they should outlive you;)

SFGA:
Batman: Good ride, but too short.
Iron Wolf: I've heard it being compared to sticking yourself in a blender and pressing Puree.
Raging Bull: WOW. Especially the camel hill element. Lots of air. I think I've been on it 40 times or so, and haven't been disappointed yet. I was driving down to the airport, past SFGA, and it was real foggy, and thought "Man, it would be fun to ride Bull in this soup."
Going to IOA in September to ride Hulk and Dragons, plus BGT for Montu and Kumba. I can't wait!!!
