Personally, out of the ones I've ridden (Montu, Silver Bullet, and the Batman Clones), I'd have to say the Batman Clones because they offer magnificent forces, nonstop action, and a great breath taking ride. In my opinion, I think they are underrated.

What about you?

I enjoy the speed and intensity of Alpengeist, just like the speed and intensity of Dominator.

I'm really not a big fan of the batmans. I loved talon, alpengeist, montu, and nemesis inferno, but it's hard for me to put them in a certain order. I guess if I have to I'd put...no, I really can't pick a favorite.

I like all B&M Inverts, although I have not ridden them. The batman clones are actually pretty fun, but the only ones I've been on are Silver Bullet @ Knotts, Flight Deck (Formerly Top Gun) @ CGA, Batman @ SFMM, and Dueling Dragons (both sides) @ IOA. By far one of the best is Dueling Dragons, or now Dragon Challenge. The interaction between the two trains is quite amazing with the airhill over the 0g, the 2 facing loops, and the intertwining wing-overs. It's an amazing ride, and the queue line was fantastic until it was removed. Or so I've heard.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

What do you guys think i'm gonna say?! [:D]

I mean come on: The 1st immelmann has you coming out of a tunnel, which is then pointing you to the wall (you think ur gonna hit it), and then it swoops up at those pieces of random wood, and then transitions through quite a beautifully made immelmann. Also, that batwing is forceful as hell (my legs feel like they are about to get ripped off), the loop after that MCBR gives that same feeling, and that cork is the most awesome unexpected inversion ever placed on a B&M Invert...EVER.

MONTU POWAH!

I absolutely hated Montu, especially after riding Afterburn at Carowinds. It's not even close.

Are you going to vote for it then (Afterburn)? Or even Flight Deck, (your favorite apparently?)

Also, I just looked at a POV of Afterburn and honestly...other than the placement of the batwing, and no MCBR (instead it has that cool helix, though safety-wise...) it looks like it rides EXACTLY the same.

Batman clones are the only ones that make people dizzy, so those.

That's why judging rides by POVs is retarded. Every single element on Afterburn is wayy more forceful than Montu. And it doesn't have trims. I still prefer Flight Deck though, super neato ride.

That's exactly why I love them. They offer the most extreme forces and they f*cking snap your head into your skull. F*ck man, they are nasty and get right down to business. I'm sure I would love Nemesis then too. Although Montu does have great forces Tidus, it just does not compare at all. Id have to say the best B&M in BGT is Kumba with its snap, high forces, and great layout.

I would have to say Flight Deck at CGA mainly because it was the first one I ever rode. Batman is fun just because of how close together all the elements are.

I'm sorry, but how many times have you rode EITHER? I know them like a personal relationship, the forces on both are insane, but the ride that leaves me going "Holy sh*t" at the end, most of the time, is Montu. Kumba has the nostalgia (probably why you picked it to be the best) and it is a masterpiece in itself (the loop over the lift is the best XD as well as the tunnel) but Montu offers the exact same experience (other than the c roll, and the "dip" before it) with that "legs getting ripped off" feeling! How can it get any better (at least for Busch)?

I've ridden Montu about maybe 15 times, Kumba 10, and Batman about 40. While Montu is fun, Kumba just offers more snap and forces. Yes, I agree Montu is a very good ride. I never said it was not. It has great forces. But, Kumba is so much more intense by a layout standpoint. I'm judging both by their layout not by everything. And even if I were judging by everything, I would still like Kumba the most because it offers better forces, more "OMG I'm gonna hit myself on the scenery" parts, and overall a more snappy, fun, "Oh Sh*t" ride. But then again, that is just my opinion, and we are all entiteled to have one.

Talon. Its the best of the four I have been one and it just has that fun/cool factor to it.

you dont need to have ridden nemesis to know its the best B&M invert ever made.
