I think they mean just the wing coasters, not all of B&M's latest. And this does look to be a very intense ride. I hope they fix the restraint rubber tightening thing on this. But whether people like the new trains or not, I like them because now there will be no head banging, which in my opinion can ruin a ride more than a tight restraint.Lofty said:It does look like a great coaster - I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome of "Forceless and boring" that most seem to rate the new B&M creations.
I don't think it's just wing coasters, but just a majority of all new B&Ms. MAJORITY is the key word, not all, a majority. I've generally been hearing this about new B&Ms built after 2006-ish, namely the two Busch Gardens dive machines, newer B&M hypers, and the wing coasters.CPSFMMCW said:I think they mean just the wing coasters, not all of B&M's latest.

bob_3_ said:I appriciate the effort going into comparing trackwork over B&Ms done by Jarett... BUT older and newer B&Ms have a different track style, and I think you'd be wrong to expect a 90s style coaster or old school B&M force.
Older B&Ms have alot more tension in the banking transitions and even changes in force whereas newer ones tend to blend things together and elongate roll speeds, which effects the shapes of elements. I also think they HAVE toned down force on their designs over time and focused on the "open and floaty" aspect of coaster design (which is why their newer wing-coasters and hypers go down better than their recent multi loopers). This also reduces wear and tear on the track and trains. Nemesis for example is a maintenance nightmare, the force the trains whizz round the track means train pieces and even track has to replaced regularly.
If you want an idea of how Banshee will perform I'd look at Phaethon or Oz'iris. As the shaping is most like these coasters.
