So...not to be a rip-off or anything (cough, cough), but how about we start one for these babies?

Only ridden Nitro but Raging Bull looks the most unique.

I've been on Behemoth, Diamondback, and Nitro, and in my opinion, Behemoth wins hands down, with Diamondback a distant second. Can't really pinpoint the reason, as I've been on that 4 times and Diamondback something like 30, but I pretty much fell in love with Behemoth when I rode it.

I only road Apollo's Chariot and Silver Star...but I like Silverstar more because it's in my homepark and I rode it 63 times now (3 times at night/evening) :D and I still love it [:D] Apollo's Chariot was good too, but I only road it one time...so I don't know much about it.

All of them look fun. Although I've only been on the bull, it seems to be the most unique. Maybe not the largest, but it has a lot of twists, turns, and banks. Less mediocre 'airtime' hills.

Airtime is fun, but I still don't understand the big fuss about it. Want to feel lighter? Lose weight.

Apollo looks the best to me, nothing beats an aged B&M, however based on the pov of Goliath @ La Ronde, that thing's airtime is insane!
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Apollos chariot to me is the best because its first drop, with insane ejector in the back, the differentiating heights and shapes of the hills (hills after brakes go in order: drop out of brake, normal bunny hill, bunny hill with a large descent diving into ravine, turny thing with support headchopper, and that awsome hill thing with a straight then a dive), and because of its unique turnaround and dive element. Plus it is just gorgeous, with gorgeous colors, and gorgeous setting, and it towers above the trees making it a GREAT ride to see as you enter the park, and drive so close to on the way in. Also it is well themed, and has the best layout of any coaster in the world imo. So simple but so perfect.

Edit again: this is one of my favorite elements on any coaster ive ever ridden . Escpecially in the back. Its a hill, with solid airtime, that suddenly but smoothly flips sideways as you go down, while still sustaning some floater and some decent lats. But just that transition sensation is so cool.

Edit: SECOND PLACE

Wow! Ejector much?

La Ronde definitely deserves second place! WOW, that IS some insane ejector air, more than any other B&M I've ever seen!

But for everything else combining to make a more than satisfying experience (at least from what I've read from kyle, and seen in pictures, and POV's), Apollo's Chariot rules all.

I've never been on a B&M Hyper, but judging from the POV's Goliath at La Ronde looks the best from its insane Airtime, with Behemoth a close second. I was so pissed because I went to montreal a couple years ago and stayed in a hotel right across a small channle for La Ronde. Goliath was the closest, and my uncle would not let me go. It was sad to see the trains of the coasters run from my window about 300 feet away when I could of been on one of them :'(

I've been on AC, Diamondback, Nitro, Silverstar and Raging Bull. I like AC the most and Raging Bull the least. Diamondback and Silverstar are my close 2nd favorites though.

Is it just me or are the old b&m trains a LOT sexier than the new ones. Escpecially the old shape of the seats and restraints. The new seats are too smooth and dont look nice, and the new restraints are weird.

I like the arrangement of seats in the new ones better, but on everything else the old trains are better IMO.

As much as I like Appolo, I like Goliath at georgia better. The layout over the park really did it for me.

lol I think the helix was the least fun part of the entire ride. Overall though it is a really great design, and very often the forces are just absolutely perfect.

Apollo has 2 of the best drops on any coaster anywhere, and a great setting as well. Only been on it and Raging Bull but it looks like the best of them to me.
