Silver Bullet Loop

The loops appear to be different sizes because the riders travel on the inside of a sit-down loop and the outside of an invert loop. In actuality, the height of the riders is pretty much the same.

Sure, but Raptor's loop *is* rather small for the height of the ride (look how high the loop exit is). On the other hand,Talon's loop is quite large. I'd agree that the majority of vertical loops on early B&M inverted coasters were small, but that's not the case with all of the current rides.

I'm sorry, just visiting Knott's last year makes me think that the area will now look too crowded with all those supports. Just personal preference I guess.

Well, it looks like a good ride, almost 'mini-Alpengeist' with the unique inversion staging. Well, the loop on Alpengeist is big too. So, although this one's smaller, it just adds to the intensity.

Well, it still looks fun either way...
