Reevaluating I actually agree with you. Should’ve given them 2. What I was thinking at the time is that B&M is always the second to the table for a lot of models (not coming up with new ideas, just taking inspiration from other manufacturers and making better models). Other than the invert and dive models, they were second to stand-ups (Togo was first), hypers (Arrow), Gigas (Intamin), flying (Vekoma). And even with their wing coasters, Arrow was first to put seats on the side of the track, and with the dive vekoma came up with the concept first with their tilt coaster. That on top of B&M not experimenting with new elements like RMC, Intamin, Vekoma and others is why I initially gave them 1 star.
@@coasterEV Technically, B&M was third or fourth to stand-ups, Intamin was second and Arrow attempted to put stand-up trains on one of their coasters, but B&M used to work for Intamin before starting their own company.
I don't think arrow can be given 5 stars for Innovation, since they didn't switch to computer based design until far too late, which probably was a major factor in the companies downfall. Computer based roller coaster design is the single greatest innovation in the last 50 years in the coaster industry.
I think b&m is pretty innovative with their invert , flying, dive, and wing models. They deserve more than a one star

@@coasterEV They was first to use the Demonic Twist, Wingover Drop, Saxophone Turnaround...
@@coasterEV don't forget that the 2 models you said were innovative were in the 90s. They don't innovate any more

@@markvolpe2305 True!
Amazing video, just found your channel, cant wait for the other parts!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy!
Dope video! This was exactly what I was looking for when trying to pinpoint track shapes in my mind.
Thank you, Parts 2 and 3 coming soon!
Montu is at Busch Gardens Tampa, not SeaWorld Orlando.

If your not bruised and bashed your not riding an Arrow, but their still fun and great coasters...
Agreed! If the arrow doesn’t give me a headache I usually like it
1000th view
Also, great video! Even tho I’m well versed in this stuff, you did a great job summarizing it!
