I actually completely agree with your Afterburn take. Everybody hypes it up but I just couldn’t find those rides that everybody raves about. Definitely want to give it another shot and hopefully find what everybody talks about
If I had a dollar for every time you said Batman…😂 Great video though, I haven’t ridden half of these, I loved Afterburn, Great Bear was so smooth, same for Raptor. I really liked Banshee as well, but I really need to ride Montu! I see what you did with the clips and word placements lol.
Nice editing and script. You can tell the effort you put into this video. I've given up ranking Batmans. Just collectively: "Batman the Ride". Where would you put OzIris curiously? I think between Oziris, Black Mamba and Monster @ Grona. Europe wins the cat. I know Nemesis has it's fans too.
Ah appreciate that so much Keith!! Means a lot ❤️. I think I’d put it at #4 between Alpengeist and Silver Bullet, loved that thing and it looks beautiful with the theming
My favorite B&M invert is Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, followed by Montu at Busch Gardens Tampa, Banshee at Kings Island, Dragon Challenge at Universal's Islands of Adventure (Hungarian Horntail and Chinese Fireball respectively), Raptor at Cedar Point, Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm, Goliath at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Great America, and Six Flags Over Georgia respectively, and Great White at SeaWorld San Antonio.
Great list with some unique takes! I hope you consider more ranking videos in the future... would love to see how you stack up those RMCs! I've done all B&M Inverts in North America and 4 in Europe. My list: 1. Montu 2. Raptor 3. Afterburn 4. Black Mamba 5. OzIris 6. Banshee 7. Alpengeist 8. Flight Deck 9. Silver Bullet 10. Talon 11. Great Bear 12. Batman (SFOG) 13. Batman (SFMM) 14. Batman (SFGAm) 15. Vampire 16. Shadows of Arkham 17. Batman (SFSL) 18. Batman (SFOT- I made a comment earlier on your Twitter about how this one is much better now haha) 19. Batman (SFGAdv) 20. Goliath 21. Great White 22. Monster (Gröna Lund) 23. Patriot I will say B&M Inverts are all at least good. I really think all of them are probably 7.5-8/10 minimum in my opinion.
The only inverts I’ve ridden are SFOG Batman, Afterburn, Raptor and Alpengeist and I thought I was crazy for having Batman at the top. SFOG Batman really is on another level IMO
A quality list, very well thought out. I'm totally with you on your placement of Raptor and Banshee. Not so much Afterburn or Silver Bullet, but that's what makes a list interesting!
I can definitely agree with a few of these. I had my skepticism about SFOG's Batman, but that ride delivers. I'm missing SFOT's Batman and Vampire, but have done Flight Deck, which i'd probably put top 5 in this list even though it's one of the shortest. Gets a bit tricky once you had Oziris, Black Mamba and Katun though.
If you go to Japan you will be tempted to skip Shima Spanish Village over Universal Studios, Disneysea, Fuji-Q Highland and Nagashima Spa Land. It doesn't have a huge selection of rides. It's difficult to get to. I understand. But it has Pyrenees. My favourite rollercoaster in the world. No other coaster on this trip made me grin like Pyrenees. I thought I was a classic coaster guy who loved historical wooden coasters and steel coasters with huge lifthills and drops....but it turned out I am an invert guy! My favourite element, above airtime, drops and helixes, is the feeling of being pulled outwards in those inverted loops. 🥰
Love that Banshee is in the top 5! Hoping this year that the rattle has gone down a little since it's pretty much my favorite invert! Even after riding Black Mamba at Phantasialand in Germany a few weeks ago. 🙂
High praise after Black Mamba still!! Yeah I compare Banshee to Goliath (the hyper at SFOG) in terms of, yeah the rattle is there, but the layout is so good I can overlook it
Bryant, where do you think Dueling Dragons (or even Dragon Challenge if you're like me and sadly only have done the non-dueling version) would rank on your list? I generally find inverts to be a lot for my stomach (especially Batman: The Ride at Six Flags St. Louis), but I didn't have any issues on Dragon Challenge. Fun video!
Thank you Dan! I definitely preferred Chinese Fireball from my memory, and it’s tough because I didn’t ride it “as an enthusiast”, but I’d probably say it’s around #7 or #8, with Hungarian Horntail maybe 9-10ish?
Question; where would you put Great NorEaster in this list? Personally I have it ranked in-between Talon & Alpie (I have Alpie ranked a little lower than most because I've only gotten rough rides) Also thought I was crazy for thinking the Over Georgia clone was faster than the others.
Nah OG Batman is for sure LEGIT! Oh man that’s hard to say since it’s an SLC… I mean it has the best view of any of these 😅. I’d probably say between Banshee and Talon (so #6)
Been on 22 B&M inverts and everything in North America other than Vampire at LaRonde. Let see how the rankings differ (And I won't include the defunct Dragons at IOA nor anything in Europe): 1. Montu 2. Alpengeist 3. Afterburn- Yellow train is tracking better than the red in 2024. 4. Raptor 5. Flight Deck- you need to get to this one before they close it. 6. Great Bear 7. Batman (SFOG)- Best Batman invert 8. Batman (SFMM)- Close second 9. Batman (SF GAm) 10. Batman (SFOT) 11. Batman (SF GAdv) 12. Goliath 13. Batman (SFSL) 14. Great White 15. Banshee- Layout is good but that rattle is brutal 16. Silver Bullet- You failed to mention the ramp. 17. Talon- My #500 coaster, wish I liked it more but still a milestone coaster 18. Patriot- Great paint job but by far the worst B&M invert
@@alantrotter2077 ahhh, well I mean I kinda did, saying “no other invert keeps gets better as it goes”, because I definitely agree the drop is its weakest moment

@@coaster365 I only got morning rides on Talon since inclement weather shut the coasters down for a lot of the short day I had at Dorney Park. As for Afterburn, I rode it in 2022 and wasn’t impressed, and then in 2023 it knocked my socks off. Seems like you got really unlucky with it
Also, wow, I don't understand your silver bullet ranking at all. Maybe I was there on a bad day, but that was easily one of the most dissapointing rides I have had on any coaster. I was sad about raptor at 10, but SB just confused me.
And potentially we just rode it on a good day! Check out that review, reviewed it with a pretty large group, and it was an almost near consensus score wise that it was really good
@@coaster365 I just get off rides there like Montu and IG and just immediately think “I don’t get it” and then ride them a dozen times and just feel nothing. I know I’m clearly wrong but I’ve tried and tried and there’s just nothing exciting there for me.
That Over Texas shot of Mr Freeze and Batman dueling deserves a Pulitzer Prize. Still iconic from the day you dropped it, my guy!
Awww haha! Thank you good sir ☺️
Bryant with the fake-outs!! I almost raged multiple times😂😂
I’m so happy to hear they worked 😂, definitely was a last minute “how do I fill these gaps without giving the next ride away” move haha
Same 😂
I loved how you flashed multiple shots of other inverts before showing the “real” next invert in the list! Kept me guessing!
😂, I’m so happy so many people enjoyed that haha
I actually completely agree with your Afterburn take. Everybody hypes it up but I just couldn’t find those rides that everybody raves about. Definitely want to give it another shot and hopefully find what everybody talks about
I think the final corkscrew is my favorite part, but I definitely agree its an overhyped ride
Glad I’m not in the minority haha, maybe one day we’ll get that supposedly elite ride 🤷♂️
Afterburn needs to be ridden in the back row in the far right seat. It’s an elite experience, especially on the batwing and corkscrew.
Just like Montu.
Well whenever I get to Carowinds again (where I still need like, half the park cred wise 😬), I shall sit there!
Really enjoyed this! Looking forward to more ranking videos. Also, was nice to see that Talon girl make a cameo. 🤣
Thanks so much man! Yeah that’s pretty much required for any Talon mention 😂
If I had a dollar for every time you said Batman…😂 Great video though, I haven’t ridden half of these, I loved Afterburn, Great Bear was so smooth, same for Raptor. I really liked Banshee as well, but I really need to ride Montu! I see what you did with the clips and word placements lol.
I avoided it at all costs 😂, appreciate the kind words my dude!!
I agree with this ranking. Simple as this. You scared me showing Alpengeist right before Patriot :P
Love me a good tease 😊
5:53 yeah, I see ya.
Nice editing and script. You can tell the effort you put into this video.
I've given up ranking Batmans. Just collectively: "Batman the Ride".

Not at ALL, and you’re far from the only one!

Appreciate that Brian! Yeah because of the small gap (IMO), there’s going to be a large variety of lists of these for sure lol

SFOG’s has no business being that good. Hoping to get Flight Deck later this summer!!
Just because it's at my homepark alpengeist is my favorite but I will admit montu is the best for sure
Surprised to see talon pretty high! Jen must have had some inspiration with that spot 😏
Oh I’m just waiting for the rant of her saying it’s too LOW 🙄😝

My favourite element, above airtime, drops and helixes, is the feeling of being pulled outwards in those inverted loops. 🥰
That’s good to know!! If I do plan a trip of that scale, it would be definitely be hard to leave Pyrenees out
I gotta say, Batman at magic mountain has been running amazing recently! But banshee is still my favorite invert.
Love that Banshee is in the top 5! Hoping this year that the rattle has gone down a little since it's pretty much my favorite invert! Even after riding Black Mamba at Phantasialand in Germany a few weeks ago. 🙂

@@coaster365 That makes sense. I think without the dueling, they weren't super thrilling compared to your top picks.
The fun thing about banshee is that it doesn’t reach its max speed till halfway through the layout. Due to being a Terrain coaster.
No kidding! Honestly makes a ton of sense if so
I’m NGL alpie is the best invert at least for America I have no idea what nemesis, b mamba, Katun, are like. Great video btw.
I get that Alpie love!! And thank you so much ❤️
3:18 I would've been on board with this take lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥 take 😝
