From the reverse POV I have seen it shuffles a great deal: there are noticeable jolts between first drop and immelman and coming into the brakes.

Here’s a reverse POV courtesy of ElToroRyan:
I’m always hesitant to judge a ride’s smoothness based on POVs, but from that video, it definitely looks a bit rattly and looks to have some surprisingly jolty moments. There looks to be quite a bad jolt towards the end in particular (at around 0:59 in the video).
I wonder why some new B&Ms seem to have become so rattly in the past year or two?

The lateral jolt into the brake run seem quite pronounce (also judging from the video of Coaster Studios).
Honestly between the cost of B&Ms, the sense that parks might be getting closer to saturated with their models, and more shakiness/rattle-y-ness indicating a quality drop, this could really signal a shift in the American market where Vekoma makes more and more inroads as a go to for looping coasters. Esp with Flash at SFGAdv and Circuit Breaker making debuts soon.
