the b&m awards

Floorless: NA
Inverted: Raptor/ Dueling Dragons
Stand up: Riddler
Sitdown: Hulk

Vertical: NA, there is only two and they are clones anyway.

what's the best style of b&m coasters

Floorless: Superman Krypton Coaster
Inverted: Alpengeist
Stand Up: Riddler's Revenge
Sitdown: Dragon Khan
Hyper: ? probably Raging Bull
Vertical: G5 looks to be better with the cliff face
Batman: The Ride gets bonus points for being the sole B&M that is intense. (Batman Knight Flight is almost intense, but not quite)

Justin: I would have to say the Inverteds. Thought the stand-ups would be a close second

Floorless: Medusa East(original and still the best)
Inverted: Dueling Dragons(Ice)
Stand-up: Mantis
Sitdown: Incredible Hulk
Hyper: Apollo's Chariot
Vertical: Oblivion

Floorless: Medusa (SFGAdv.)

Standup: N/A
Sit down: Incredible Hulk

Vertical: Oblivion - a big disappointment! Its waaaaaay too short!

Florida is a B&M mecca!

THE **BEST** floorless coaster is MEDUSA at Six Flags Marine World, it is way better than the orginal at SFGA. IT has a taller drop and a vertical drop instead of a curving drop that you cannot feel. It has the world first back to back super loop.
The best stand up is riddlers revenge at SFMM

Have you been on Medusa East, Kraken, Batman Knight Flight and Superman Krypton Coaster? Have you been on Mantis, Chang, Iron Wolf? I'd suggest riding them all before proclaiming them best.

Nope, haven't been on them. I'm not the one claiming they are best-of-class either.

"First Back To Back Super loop"? What is that? The Sea Serpent? Then I suggest you take a look at its inverted neighbor ( Kong ) and tell if its the first "Sea Serpent".... On a sitdown, the first whould be RnRC ( with its "Rollover" as the two first inversions ).

Not only that, but the element is just a cobra roll that exits in the same direction it entered. One might even consider it an elongated corkscrew!
