Which park will be the first have 4 B&M creations?

"4 Seats are better than 2"
I hope my home park of SFWoA becomes the home to more B&Ms in the future. Maybe an inverted one the marine park side, and a stand-up too, and a regular sit-down w/ 8 inversions. Probably not going to happen but boy do I wish. And it'll give 4 B&M's. :)

Don't mess with the X in 01
You can count out SFMM, IOA, SFWOA, and CP. Sfmm I don't think they would add anymore b&m coasters they have X a invert, flyer, floorless in one. IOA you might as well leave it at 2 or 3 b&ms how many b&ms are in florida, a lot so they should turn to Intamin. Sfwoa only has 1 b&m even though they can get more they are not going to be the first to get 4. CP same situation they have 2 and what kind of b&m coaster they are going to build not a floorless or flyer they have them at sfwoa.
The only 2 parks I seeing getting the first 4 b&m coasters is Sfgam, and Sfgadv's they both don't have a superman themed ride and the parks around them don't have flyers so they look like perfect candidates for a superman themed b&m flyer.
Alton Towers
Six Flags Great Adventure
Islands of Adventure
Six Flags over Georiga
Six Flags Great America
all have three B&M coasters. I can count Alton out because it will will be years before the next B&M would come to then. The biggest contender would probably be Islands of Adventure.
Oh, how about counting Magic Mountain? You have Riddler Revenge, Batman: The Ride, and Psyclone(at least part of Psyclone )

why hasnt alton towers got more mentions in the topic? as of march 16th this year they had 3 B&Ms, and they are gonna get another one soonish.
i personally think IOA though
SFGAm has always been a prototype park (don't argue with me on this). I think that they would have the best chance at hitting 4 first.
Iron Wolf: First B&M creation, Batman: First B&M suspended; Raging Bull: First B&M Hyper Twister. Seems to be a B&M proving ground.
Lets all remember now that corporate makes these types of desicions, and the park itself has little to say regarding this.

Yeah, everyone forgot to mention Six Flags over Georiga, who has the biggest chance of getting another B&M out of all the Six Flags parks since them and SFoT will be get the most money in the chain.
Facce you guys, floorless and stand up will never exist together in the Six Flags chain. That's just the way it is. Flyer and Dive Machine are your only options but Six Flags has already turned dow nthe thoughs of building a floorless and a stand up in the same park, they're the same type of coaster with different trains. Six Flags doesn't want to build a whole nother scream machine for millions of dollars when all they wanted were the trains.
Look at this one image on Dueling Dragons and tell me that they are following the same layout? Or try this picture. In this pictureyou can see that Ice is of on its own course in the ride and is not going thru any of the same elements that Fire is going through right now. Case closed
You guys also can't forget that one of Busch Gardens is soon to have a trio of B&Ms since Busch does have that three B&M deal along with Dorney Park. I heard someone say that they saw planning for what looked like a red tracked B&M stand up or floorless, but I've yet to believe him.

IF (big if) SFMM reviews what's going on elsewhere with wooden coasters, then the part of Psyclone that's B&M manufacture may not be around too long....(hoping)!
As for AT, it will never get the mention of US parks just 'cause it's SUCH a long drive...
SFoG might also be a good bet...but I really want an Intamin hyper closer to ME!

My Top 5 Coasters:
1. Raging Bull(SFGAm) 2.Millenium Force(CP) 3. Deja Vu(SFGAm) 4.V2(SFGAm) 5.Cornball Express(IB)http://coasterworld.cjb.net
Id say that Great Adventure and Alton Towers are as much of a testing ground for B&M as Great America. The B&M stand up. inverted, and hyper wer both Giovanola's concept, sold through B&M. Which is one reason why Nitro and Apollo's Chariot, and Silver Star are so much diffrent from Raging Bull. The first of every B&M coaster except for floorless and flyer were done with Giovanola because the concepts came from them. Giovanola does not sell their coasters themselves but with through other companies. Goliath, Titan, and Anaconda are the only ones they sold and built by themselves. Alton Towers has Air and Six Flags Great Adventure has Medusa, the only two coaster concepts that B&M came up with and built by themselves.

I wouldn't necessarily say that considering that they built Wicked Twister and S:UE is at SFWOA.
If Cedar Point got flyer by B&M it's a different track style and it's not made by Vekoma.
