I think Orion is my favorite so far. One good underrated one is X-Flight at Great America though.
The worst B&M hyper
Nice! Orion gets way too much hate, it’s an awesome ride.
Orion is awesome but Diamondback is better
@@leyoshivenere350 nah Orion is way better
@@blainebasil6577 it’s a giga (300ft drop)
Underrated B&M that I know of is probably manta Seaworld Orlando
Shambhala definitely deserves its place. I live in Spain and that coaster alone is worth the entry fee... although Furious Baco is an awesome launched wing coaster, but it's Intamin and not B&M
Shambhala is just incredible
Fenix at Toverland, the most intense wingcoaster in the world pulling near 5 Gs in the helix and ejector airtime. (Also, they are adding a Gerstlauer Sky Fly in the Helix as a near miss).
Fenix is not that good honestly, not at all in the top 15 B&M, Flug der Dämonen is better in almost every categories layout wise and is only at a 3h drive. Fenix theming and presentation are top notch though
@@GoldenBrothersMC Flug der Dämonen and Fenix have different layouts and try to achieve different things.
Fenix takes inversions faster and is more intense.
Meanwhile Flug der Dämonen has a layout focused on floater airtime and hangtime.
It's personal preference what you like more and no Flug der Dämonen is not better in every category
@@GoldenBrothersMC Flug der Damonen had a very strong rattle to it and not much force when I did it. The same I experienced on The Swarm. They rode like they had square wheels. So I do not agree with that.
@@GoldenBrothersMC Felix is better
The hill makes floater not ejector also. The helix pulls 3.8Gs (sustained) 5Gs for 3 seconds like people say is illegal. It pulls 4.1Gs in the Immelmann and 3.8Gs (sustained)
Fury 325 is at carowinds my home park done it over 200 times I love it
I love B&M rollercoasters! 1. Orion 2. ValRavn 3. Thunderbird 4. Diamondback 5. GateKeeper 6. Rougarou 7. Banshee 8. Raptor are my top 8 B&M rollercoasters and the only ones I've ridden.
They have so many great rides, that's a solid amount of good ones. Curious as to your thoughts on ranking Rougarou over the two inverts?
@@coasterEV I'm not a fan of rollercoasters that are under the tracks.
@@nationalchampions That's fair, thanks for sharing!
My absolute favorite is yukon striker/valravn/griffon. This might sound stupid, but I love dives
nvm I meant my fav b&m dives
My favourite is Baron 1898 at Efteling in the Netherlands, because it's the best themed B&M dive coaster in the world and I care more about overall experience than just speed or height.
That's a great point, I largely based this video on ride layout/forces and not as much on theming but that might be a great video idea in the future. European parks easily take the cake for having some of the best themed coasters out there!
It’s like my 2nd or 3rd
Shambhala has one of the best first drops ever! I was out of my seat for hours!
You wish 😄
My home park is Canada's Wonderland. I rode Behemoth and Yukon Striker last summer. Behemoth was fun and Yukon was insane. Haven't ridden Leviathan yet. Too scary. Enjoyed your video. Thank you.
you missed out big time on leviathan. behemoth and yukon striker seem like kiddie rides compared to leviathan.
@@aarusharya5658 Lineups were nuts all day long.
Thanks for sharing, Canada's Wonderland may have the best B&M trio of coasters in the world. Appreciate the support! You'll work up the courage to do Leviathan someday and I'm sure you'll love it.
I have not been on many B&Ms, but These are my favourites
6. Flug der Dämonen
5. Monster (Gronalund)
Pretty cool small scale invert that Profits from its setting alone
4. Oziris
Just a big, nice themed invert.
3. Fenix
Very intense, very fun
2. Baron 1898
Amazing Theming and my favourite dive coaster, i love being there
1. Black Mamba, easily.
One of my first thrill rides and its just a beast. Fast paced, you physically cant see the corkscrews until you are in them, the ride is a Giant nearmiss, its very cool
My top 5 B&Ms I've ridden are:
1. Shambhala
2. Nemesis Inferno
3. Swarm
4. Batman: Arkham Asylum
5. Superman Atracción de Acero
@@blank3078 It's so underrated!
I like Inferno, but the original will always be for me.
@@katashworth41 I might agree after the retrack! It was too rough for me in 2021
proud to have Fury 325 at my home park. Awesome ride.
1. Alpengeist
2. Hyper, Invert
3. Fury 325 (going to carowinds next spring)
4. Alpengeist
5. Dominator
Bro didn’t even include Fenix and black mamba 💀
Those B&Ms are intense af and especially Fenix
Black Mamba 💯
Thank you for bringing these rides to my attention. To be fair, I haven't ridden the European ones and it's hard to judge intensity on POVs or by looking at the stats. The stats (length, speed, height, # of inversions) on Fenix and Black Mamba were sub-par compared to the others on this list which is why they weren't included, but it's good to know these rides have great intensity. Based on what I've seen in the comments, I agree, I should have at least talked about these both of these in the honorable mentions.
I believe gatekeeper and falcon, fenix in the netherlands are tied and maybe even fenix who takes the W. also, considering, also if you're considering theming for dive coasters take baron 1889 but the ride itself isn't amazing
Good points. I may make a separate video in the future ranking the best themed coasters, as this list wasn't primarily focused on theming.
Inma say something controversial. The B&M that suits my taste the most is honestly Montu at BGT and I’m blessed to say BGT is my home park since I moved.
Sweet, Montu is a gem for sure! I love coaster opinions that go against the grain and B&M inverts are great rides, I haven’t ridden a bad one yet!
Thank you for sharing some love for raging bull # 1 b and m hyper imo #1 b and m is fury
Going to be strange without Nemesis (or Nemmy as I affectionately know her) next season as she is having a re-track. She'll be back in 2024 though!
I suspect a lot of the older B&Ms from the 90s are going to reach the same fate getting a full retrack soon if parks want to keep them around another 20+ years.
Nemmy is a legend.
Hydra at dorny park is so underrated in my opinion
I’m just gonna say my favorite b&m from each type:
Giga:Orion(the only one I rode)
Hyper:Nitro
Invert:Montu
Floreless:Superman at fiesta Texas
Standup:Green lantern but I hate all of them
Flying:Manta
Wing:Gatekeeper
Dive:Griffon
Montu is my favorite B&M at my home park BGT. Kumba is rough and noisy and I love it! 👌🏻
Waiting for Vortex at Carowinds to be placed #1 and to be in the spotlight.
Manta and Superman Krypton Koaster are clearing their throats and saying “hellllooooo”
Rankings (only includes ones I have ridden - which leaves off Montu/Kumba and all those outside NA)
1. Fury
2. Orion
3. Diamond Back
4. Banshee
5. Nitro
6 Leviathan
7.Griffon
8. Valravn
9. Behemoth
10. Intimidator
11. Raging Bull
12. Superman Ultimate Flight (either one they are the same)
13. Alpengeist
14. Incredible Hulk
15. GateKeeper
Favorite: Fury 325
Favorite ride model: Hyper (Specifically Gigas but B&M calls them Hypers.)
Biggest B&M bucket list coaster: GateKeeper (The only B&M model I haven't ridden is a Wing Coaster.)
Should've made the list: Alpengeist, Apollo's Chariot, Afterburn, Intimidator, Kraken
Underrated B&Ms: Intimidator (lives in Fury's shadow and I felt that it had better airtime than Mako in any row but especially the back) and Kraken (I prefer it to Dominator. Relentless and trenches and tunnel are very fun to fly through.)
I've done silver star in the winter and that thing was hauling so fast, all trimless... all camelbacks had flowjector and the midcourse had 2 fucked ejector moments and the helix drop has an insane ejector moment
I wish they had the trims off when I was there a week ago. It was a great ride but would be even better with the trims off. Being from the US who knows if I'll ever get back there to ride it again.
I’ve been on flying dinosaur and tatsu and I still think tatsu has two things over flying dinosaur which I feel make it more unique the pretzel loop is insane the one on dinosaur isn’t close to the tatsu one and the fact that tatsus layout goes through the mountains that magic mountain has it flies so high from the ground that it’s awesome best night ride in the park and it’s not close
That's sweet you've ridden both, very few people can say that. Tatsu is a true terrain coaster on the mountain, so I bet the drops and the pretzel loop like you said are amazing!
Kumba and hulk. Yes. But montu will always be my favorite inverts are also my fav type of coaster. 90s coaster so so smooth smoother than most coasters even much newer model's
It’s amazing their inverts from the 90s hold up so well and they are generally more intense than the rides they put out today too.
It's great to see some love finally given to Raging Bull!! It's a great coaster and best hyper first drop. I totally agree with your number 1 as well. However I think the OG Batman deserves a mention in this list. To me it just seems more intense than its clones and rivals Montu (equally). It's also the first Invert, the coaster that kinda made BnM famous.
Loved this video man! I feel like a dweeb but I haven’t ridden a B&M yet… I’m a huge scaredy-cat and I have to start slow and work my way up to them, lol.
Hey no worries and thanks for the support! You'll work up the courage to do them someday. I have a video I put out on Halloween about overcoming your fear of rollercoasters if you're interested. You may find some good tips in it.
I’ve done 45 B&Ms, here’s my top 15 that I have ridden
1. Fury 325
2. Montu
3. Kumba
4. Leviathan
5. Incredible Hulk
6. Afterburn
7. Thunderbird
8. Diamondback
9. Banshee
10. Behemoth
11. Mako
12. Batman the Ride clones
13. Alpengeist
14. Goliath SFOG
15. Flug der Dämonen
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
What abt yukon? Prob the best dive coaster ever. Most people complain about the vest restraints but nonetheless its the greatest dive coaster of all time
for me the best one Id say is leviathan, but that's because I've only been on the Canadian B&Ms, though this isn't me criticizing your opinions, just adding my 2 cents, I did all the Canadian roller coasters and I actually found that Goliath at la ronde and Behemoth were more fun then Yukon striker, which isn't dissing Yukon, just says something really good about those 2
I think Fenix (at Toverland) and Flug der Dämonen (at Heide Park) are pretty underrated. Fenix is very intense with high g-forces and Flug der Dämonen has unique inversions
Montu and Afterburn are tied for my favorite B&M Inverts
LOOOOVE THIS THUMBNAIL! Great job! 😊
Thanks man, appreciate it! You are a huge inspiration.
@@coasterEV I spend anywhere from 15-60 min per thumbnail! They are so important!
@@TP_Recommendations Same here. I probably average about 30 minutes per thumbnail, but it is worth it!
Black Mamba at Phantasialand is incredible, I have it ranked better than Montu
Candymonium is one of my favorite rides. Here’s might get a giga with everything there in 5-10 years
I’d add Dragon Khan at Portaventura to that also
The swarm at Thorpe park is extremely underrated
I've only rode 4 so far, great rides though!
Flying Dinosaur is a great ride. It is one of my 4 B&M credits, and is the best out of them. My only complain about the ride is its crazy long line, and the fact that you cannot choose your row.
Yeah I saw ElToroRyan’s video and the line for it was insanely long, I’m sure that’s how it always is.
@@coasterEV Nope when i rode it, it actually wasn't that bad, 30-40 min, in single rider line you can even get to about 5-15 min when I was there, great operations too. Got to ride it many times, absolutely amazing ride.
I was at USJ last month during a weekday and it was still a long wait time. I preferred Acrobat at Nagashima Spa Land which for some reason had no line at all and is a smoother, more graceful experience. But The Flying Dinosaur stands out more since it's not a clone model and since it is so massive. I'm not sure that headache inflicting loop is all that pleasurable though. That part also felt more fun at Acrobat.
But my favourite B&M on this trip was actually Pyrenees. What a sweet ride that was! Worth the lenghty side trip to Shima.
Orion is my favorite b&m favorite b&m ride models inverted and giga/hyper biggest bucket list Fury325 underrated intimidator is because of its trim but I view it as just fine
I agree with this list!
Banshee. Best invert ever.
It's a great ride for sure!
Black mamba - phantasialand
It's similar to nemesis
Ive only rode wild eagle. Riding great bear and candymonium in the next month coming
Kumba is the reason why Busch Gardens Williamsburg got the disastrous Drachen Fire
Love the raging bull representation
Wonderful video but I too am on this coaster page and am getting POV's of many rides across America. I'd reserve opinions for guys like coaster studios, El Toro Ryan and airtime thrills who have actually ridden these coasters you speak of. Banshee is the best invert I've been on to date because it's the newest of the batch. 👍🤷
Flying Dinosaur looks wild I really wish we had a clone of this in America
My favourite b&m coaster I none. I have never been on one.
Raging Bull is such a Underrated Hyper. But its The best B&M ive been on
I’m only here for Nemesis nothing else
Glad it’s high up
It should be said that Thunderbird is no longer the only launched wing coaster, but is still the only one not to be a shuttle coaster
Fury 325 is still my number 1 B&M and my number 1 coaster
Raging Bulls first drop is so good
I’ve ridden all of these except Falcon and Flying Dinosaur-I should pick up the latter next year.
I think your list is missing Black Mamba at Phantasialand and Baron 1850 at Efteling. Black Mamba has great theming and is a standout invert-second to Nemesis on my list. The theming and storyline on Baron are fabulous as is the drop into the mine.
My favorites aside from those are Leviathan, Shambhala, and Diamondback. Every time someone complains about the rattle on Diamondback I just have to laugh a little-because it’s a rattlesnake coaster.
Thank you for your insight, that's awesome you have been on so many of these! It's hard to rank them without having ridden some of them, Black Mamba's and Baron's lackluster stats are what made me pass them up but thank you for bringing them to my attention. I laugh about the Diamondback rattle comment too, it's all part of the theming haha.
Say what you want about dive coasters, but they are capacity monsters.
A 30 person car.
It keeps a lot of GP off of, or distracted from, the most thrilling coasters.
That's a great point and they should be capacity monsters as long as a park employee is properly filling the rows. I've waited in a 90 minute line for Valravn at Cedar Point before and saw every train go out only half full because the ride op wasn't doing their job well.
Gatekeeper is my number one
I’ve only been on leviathan behemoth and Yukon striker but I want to try so many more. Leviathan is the most fun out of the 3 but Yukon has the best drop. Behemoth is fun but not as smooth
My home park is Canada's wonderland I've ridden all the b&m there Leviathan Yukon striker and behemoth
I have ridden Hulk. It's fine and all, but I would put Candymonium and even the Great Bear over Hulk.
ive only ridden one b&m hyper which was Nitro. if people really say that its one of the best hypers, then b&m hypers just arent for me 😂
i felt no airtime on any hill but the 2nd to last one and besides the helix, everything is so drawn out that you just feel nothing. its not like it was cold and running slow either. because it was mid august
Starry Sky Ripper!
Nemesis.
Nemisis is my fav but im biased
Best B&Ms in uk are nemesis nemesis inferno and the swarm 🎢 we need more please B&M !
Ive been on 5 b&m hypers and thought they basically all were more or less the same… kinda just meanders with floater not intense idk i actually prefer the inverts
I thought Raging Bull would suck but it ended up being better than Nitro and even Leviathan IMO, but I didn't like it as much as I like Behemoth. I've only ridden 4 B&M hypers so I can only go by what I know. Nitro is a tall, fast, scenic and long ride. Then when I went to SFGA I 1st rode Raging Bull in the middle car 1st and was surprised to find airtime during the twisted drop after the 1st camelback, which is an element I wouldn't expect to get airtime in the back car let alone the middle! In fact: there are SEVEN airtime moments on Raging Bull: 1: drop; 2: 1st camelback; 3: following "twisted" drop: 4: drop off the MCBR; 5: post MCBR camelback; 6: drop into the twister section: 7: last dip before turning up left into the EBR. They're all forceful and there are also positive gs from the twister elements as well. Raging Bull is best in the back row but is still good anywhere in the back third of the train. Of the 4 B&M hypers I'ver ridden: Nitro and Leviathan tie in 3rd place; Raging Bull comes in 2nd place and Behemoth comes in 1st place. My guess is that I'd like Diamondback and Fury 325 better than any other B&M hyper. BTW I think few people think Jersey Devil is better than Nitro.
B&M dive coasters aren't my favourite but Yukon Striker is the best I've ridden (the only other two being Valravn and Oblivion) and Griffon is the largest with the OTSRs. OTSRs are usually my least favourite restraint but they're beloved on Dive coasters because of the hold before the drop which prevents the possibility of ejector airtime, and the head banging OTSRs might otherwise do in that situation. Besides: most of the layout of a major dive coaster is POSITIVE gs during all of it's ride time duration except the two drops (which contradicts the unfair "one trick pony" reputation B&M dive coasters have been unfairly saddled with)
I've ridden three B&M wing coasters: Gatekeeper, Swarm And X-Flight. Of those three: Gatekeeper is my favourite. In fact: Gatekeeper was my third favourite coaster at Cedar Point after Steel Vengeance and Millennium Force. In fact: I prefer it to Top Thrill Dragster, Raptor and Maverick! But Falcon un China looks to be even better than Gatekeeper.
Diamondback has the best layout of any B&M hyper with two untrimmed camelbacks immediately following the drop. It also has those long staggered seating trains and one mile of track with little used for EBR, station and lift hill.
Flying Dinosaur is the best B&M flying coaster ever built.
Fury 325 is B&M's best coaster. PERIOD.
Thanks for posting this awesome video! I LOVE your top 5 best B&M coasters.
Thank you for sharing, very insightful! I agree with just about everything you said too. Gatekeeper is one of the best coasters at Cedar Point. The camelback after the first drop on Diamondback is insane, you get like 7 seconds straight of sustained floater airtime near the back of the train!
@@coasterEV I wouldn't say 7 seconds but I'd agree that it's it's a completely overlooked and seemingly underrated element, that's for sure! Also: floater airtime is felt in the stomach so vest restraints don't actually curtail any of it either, so I don't know why people complain about vest restraints on a wing coaster.
What are your thoughts on behemoth at Canada's wonderland?
What about The Swarm and Nemisis Inferno
Mako is my favorite B&M Hyper
black mamba??
Nitro is way better than Griffin ill take the coaster with triple the track length and better pacing every time over a gimmicky dive..yukon striker does look good though ill admit
There is a flying coaster in China that is quite similar to Flying dinosaur - Starry Sky Ripper. Would have probably made the list, but it is a ride most people don't know abot. Pretty silly name too.
You're right, this is the first time I've heard about this coaster, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Air time on a invert???
Leviathan is my fav, my second fav is behemoth and my third fav is
yukon striker, and wth is millenium force?
Those are some good ones. Millennium force is an Intamin.
Black Mamba???
I respect the placement of most rides on here, but GateKeeper honestly shouldn´t be anywhere near this list. It´s just not intense at all
Hey I respect that, thanks for sharing your opinion. I personally don't think a ride has to be intense to be good. Most B&M hypers aren't very intense.
So much America, it's more like an American list and not the world. You forgot far better B&M coasters like The monster at Walygator parc in France. No trimbreaks, so smooth. Katun at Mirabilandia, Italy. Fluch der Demonen in Heide park, Germany. And my personal favorite, Superman, atracction de acero in Parque Warner, Spain.
Thanks for bringing those rides to my attention, I personally prefer B&M hypers and gigas (the majority of which are in America) which is why there are a lot of American coasters on here. Even so, 6 of them I listed were not in the US.
Apollo's chariot at bgw
The original B&M hyper but easily the worst one
@@coastersandbrews raging bull is worse
You should get on Nitro
Planning a trip to great adventure next summer!
B&M inverts are meant for inversions not airtime
Black mamba is nemesis done better
Straight cap
if people think diamondback has a rattle they havnt rode goliath at over georgia
Am I the only person who felt a really annoying rattle on Gatekeeper? The ride has great forces but I couldn't enjoy them.
The outside seat especially can have a rattle on most wing coasters I've been on, including Gatekeeper. The B&M rattle in general doesn't bother me much but to others it does.
its glass smooth on the inside seats
B&m didn’t Make Goliath
Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia is a B&M hyper.
@@coasterEV you’re right, I was thinking of the other Goliath, sorry.
Orion is the worst B&M it’s so boring and is over way too fast the best part is the brake run so I can go ride diamondback and mystic Timbers Orion is just a waste of space should have kept firehawk
Lol your just mad it’s not what you were expecting it to be so go get mad somewhere else
@@Jakebtw no it’s just a shit ride
@@Jakebtw I’m not mad just saying it’s boring af
@@blainebasil6577 wow I’m surprised you found it to be boring, ig it’s just about how much you like speed because I love the speed it has, the airtime moments are great, and the first drop too.
@@Jakebtw maybe I’ve had bad rides on it just kidding it sucks
