Wasn't RB the first B&M hyper?

I could've sworn that Raging Bull was the first to open between it and Apollo's Chariot. Is it that or is it ONLY a hyper twister?

AC, opened 03/27/99

RB, opened 05/01/99

AC may have opened first but technically they are both the first B&M speed coasters.

Im going to grab a cold one! WHAT? Walk to my computer! WHAT? Turn the thing on! WHAT? Log on to Coasterbuzz! WHAT? I said log on to Coasterbuzz!! WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?

I believe RB was put into design first, making it the first. Just what I think.

Actually, Raging Bull was B&Ms first hyper twister.

Also, contrary to former belief, Raging Bull was the world's second hyper twister. The first was Fujiyama.

Yes, it was designed my TOGO international.

RB was the second '1st generation' B&M hypers. I would guess, though, that it was in design before AC, ac AFL said. I would think a twister would take longer to design than a out-and back, as people are more sensitive laterals, and it takes more time to design the support strucure so it doesn't hit people on the ride.
