SeaWorld Orlando | Mako | B&M Hyper Coaster
- Thread starter Intricks
- Start date
but I can only go off of what I've heard/experienced on similar rides. Reviews for SS have been on the negative side throughout it's time.. with Trims being the main problem.

Raging bull was the first B&M Hyper, and is still smooth as butter.
True, the trims are a bit of a let down, but you do get some nice floater on the drops.

Why don't you do a poll? I'm pretty sure there are a number of people here who disagree with that statement.

^ What a stupid poll, wording it to make you look right.

Yes but the way it is worded is stupid, then I think the comments speak for themselves.Snoo said:The poll speaks for itself Owen.

You're asking two different questions.
Initially the debate was over wether B&M Hypers are "good roller coasters", or if "other, better rides" exist.
But then your poll asks if
"B&M Hypers are the best airtime machine"
So are we talking about B&M hypers being good rides in general, or being good airtime machines in general? Because you can have a good ride that isn't an airtime machine.

From what I can determine, what we have here is a classic case of Americans vs. Everyone Else (Europe mostly). We don't really have big things like this over here so to have one in a place where a LOT of Brits/Europeans visit on holiday is exciting because they'll finally be able to access a properly big coaster (yes I know Silver Star lives in Germany but ask your average Sun-reading UK citizen and they won't have heard of Europa, they will have heard of the Florida parks and I'd say a good portion of them would have visited). So basically, this is getting the reaction it is because it is somewhere a lot of us would have the option of visiting in the future. It's almost like it's being built in the UK, us Brits feel a kind of ownership over the Orlando parks that we don't get with other US parks.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Apollo's Chariot was the first B&M Hyper.

As for this ride it seems fine. I like B&M hypers but this doesn't look like it will be the best one by any means.
The reason on why the term airtime machine was chosen was because absolutely there are better roller coasters in the world than the B&M Hyper. I have yet to see someone's Top 10 lead off with a Hyper.
So in the faith that we can all agree that there are indeed better roller coasters than the B&M Hyper, a more apt question which has gathered a good response is within the rank of airtime machines, how does the B&M Hyper stack up? I felt the approach was a more apples to apples comparison, to help drive more at how every ranks B&M Hypers.
