What was the pioneering B&M Looper Coaster?

Basically the standard B&M Looper includes a Loop, Zero G Roll, Cobra Roll, and 2 Corkscrews. What was the first B&M coaster to include all of these? The oldest I can think of would be Raptor.

Not saying B&M pioneered any of these elements though, I know Arrow abd others did it before B&M.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Kumba was. It's the (oldest/first B&M?) built back in 1993. People claim that's when B&M made their "intense" coasters.

I'm thinking Kumba? I may be wrong though.

Well, it depends. Kumba was indeed the first B&M looper that had the traditional element sequence of spiral drop, loop, dive loop, 0-g roll, cobra roll, interlocking double corkscrew. However, there is also Batman: The Ride, which featured pretty much all of the standard B&M elements aside from the dive loop and cobra roll.

The first B&Ms, standups, also had a few inversions like that. They have the corkscrews and loop, but lack a cobra or zero-g.

Kumba was the first sit-down looper they built. They built 3 stand-ups (2 Vortex's and Iron Wolf, which was their first official coaster) prior to those. Batman preceded Raptor. And after that it's all kinda smushed together.

Iron Wolf was the first coaster B&M built after leaving intamin. It still used the intamin stand-up trains, but later got B&M restraints.

Giovanola trains . . .

Batman preceded Top gun which preceded Raptor. Most people forget about Top Gun (Now Flight Deck) but if you check the shaping, its quite odd by comparison to even Raptor.

Erm Nemesis opened before Raptor. Batman > Top Gun > Nemesis > Raptor is it not? May be wrong though. Thought Nemesis opened a couple of months before.

Kumba

Yea I know the other two were in between I forgot about them. LOL

But your right.
