Which Flying coaster is best?

Hi there again, fellow coaster friends

I recently posted a new topic 'Which Nemesis is best? refering to Nemesis at Alton Towers and Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park.

Alot of the replies stated that all B&M coasters were the same, one even said they were so similar you could close your eyes on both rides and it would be almost impossible to tell which one you were on.

The only B&M coasters I've been on have all been at Alton Towers 'Nemesis, Air & Oblivion' and I think they are all very unique and each give you a totally different thrill and level of excitement.

Now I'm very curious to know from people which have riden both B&M flying coasters. Air at Alton Towers and Superman - Ultimate Flight at 6 Flags over Georgia, which is best?

Not that I have the money to fly over to America any time soon hehehe, but hopefully I will be able to come on holiday to visit America's best theme parks sometime in the future coz it's something I've always dreamed of.

those don't even come close.

S:UF is hundreds of times better than air. Air is suposed to just be just a relaxing ride or something.

S:UF certainly looks alot taller.

Probably because of the crap restrictions Alton Towers has to adhear too like not having any rides that are taller then the tree lines.

However, this height restriction worked out to Nemesis advantage making the ride more intense due to the fact its built into a huge hole in the ground.

Doesn't the same apply to Air? Surley this must make it scarier than S:UF since your flying alot lower and just missing the ground at some points (including the people standing in the queue hehehe)

you feel like your gonna hit the ground on S:UF a couple of times even though when you watch, its a lot higher than the ground.

But the Pretzel Loop itself just kills Air in terms of intensity.

no imo AIR was the biggest coaster let down for me since well ever. I watched the progress of the ride being constructed non-stop and really thought it looked awesome. I remember going there the week after it opened. I got to the park at dead-on 8:30 for XART. And before i even gotto air there was 2 hour queues. When i first got on, first impressions was good, first bad point was that it nearly broke down on the lift twice, and then it got worse from there on in. The ride was dull and boring, and really wasnt much different from some of the baby rides. I mean the ride would be fun for first timers, but for me it was just dull.
On the other hand when i saw S:UF is was taken away compared to air it looks top class.... and i dont have much else to say so yeah........

I haven't been on a flying coaster,but to me S:UF looks awesome.

IMO, X-Flight, Batwing, etc.(Vekoma flyers) are way better. S:UF is a great ride, but the VF's are still much better.

Rider+Vekoma Ride=Death[xx(] S:UF is the best! Nothing, and i mean NOTHING comes close to the feeling you get on that pretzel loop!

yeah, the loop on X-Flight.

The Vekoma Flying Dutchmans are WAY better. They aren't rough, and they are way more intense than B&M flyers. The Flying Dutchmans have lats also.

I don't go on coasters to sleep, I go on them for thrill and intensity.

Yeah Air is so realxing, you could literally go to sleep on it. Not intense at all(i was dissapointed)

You have to remember that Air was not designed to be an intense thrill machine. It's purpose was to simulate flying!

ive never ridden one but suf looks a lot better because it stays upside down and simulate's flying(Ive never seen a bird fly on it's back lol)

X-Flight! I know I'm bias to SFWOA but the Vekoma's are Smashing! I mean starting off on your back has some sort of special effect or something because the 180 at the top of the hill is very cool. It's like your flipped into flying position even though some people don't consider it a flying but a lay-down coaster but i think they are the same.
