Two big tecnological deals with B and M IMO.
The Invert Coaster and the station of the floorless coasters. The clamshell floor is extremely innovative.
I have only met one B and M I did not like and thats Iron Wolf. It ranks just slightly Higher then Togo's Viper at SFGADV.

B and M and Intamin are night and day.
Different Strokes for different folks.
Does Intamin have a flyer? No
Does B and M have Bobsled coasters? No
Does Intamin have a floorless coaster? No
Whats the point in that argument?
Intamin is the innovator and has been since they took taht position from Arrow. But nobody perfects the idea better then B and M or has the reliability that B and M have.
I'll be contrary and say I like Arrow's the best.

Did anyone else think of the inverted concept? No. Does anyone else build painless standups? No (while somewhat debateble, I hear they're a HECK of a lot nicer than TOGO's). Does anyone else build floorless? No.
No, they're not the most innovative coaster firm around. But they've had their share.
(And what was with the floorless stand-up? Even if anyone did, it wouldn't exactly be innovative).

Painless Standup? Mantis Kills my head and chest, and Riddlers Revenge was down right killer! That was the most pain I have experienced on a coaster. I think they need to re-fir those trains with the harnesses from X-flight. The packpakish harnesses those are great... No headbang!
Smoothest standup I ever rode was a Togo.
RIP King Cobra
Iron wolf is the second most painful coasdter I have ever rode. Well excpt that one ride over the wheels on Sonny. Its been all middle seats since then.

I would like to see one more inverted coaster constructed by B&M that will climb over 200 feet. A hyper inverted coaster. -A coaster with little or no upside down elements. Just large, steep, and curved drops.
In my opinion, the inverted and floorless coasters are very similar. I think the inverted is more thrilling because you not only have no floor underneath you, but no track as well. A floorless coaster is really no different from a standard coaster such as Bush Gardens' Kumba.
Well, in my humble experiences, Mantis may be a tad painful here and there, but it's still smooth. Iron Wolf was glass-smooth for many years. However, it has deteriorated rather badly the last few years, making the headbanger we know today. If even a quarter of what I've heard about the TOGO's is true, then they have yet to make anything approaching the (original) smoothness of Iron Wolf and Mantis, even temporarily.
Anyway, they were still the first for inverted and floorless. That was really my main point.
