[WithTheBeatles1990]

hey COASTERFORCE which is better in your opinion batman or vertical velocity? please respond

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@WithTheBeatles1990 They're two completely different types of coasters, but generally speaking we like B&M inverts more than Intamin twisted impulse coasters.

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom why do all inverted coasters curve at the first drop

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@trickyricky98 Like suspended coasters, inverts swing from side to side since they hang under the track. Curved drops cause the coaster to swing out left or right, creating additional lateral g-forces that riders would not experience if the coaster dropped straight down like most other coaster types do.

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom This response seems a little misleading. To my knowledge, the only cars on inverted or "floorless suspended" coaster trains that actually swing below the track are the floorless cars created by Vekoma for such rides as Vampire at Chessington World of Adventures and Vekoma's family rides. However, the cars used on Bolliger & Mabillard's trains don't actually swing; they change direction only in direct relationship to the track's change of direction. Am I wrong?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Mechum22 That's correct, but we were just trying to keep it simple rather than trying to explain all that & that the track angle on the drop causes the coaster to "swing out" creating the lateral Gs. Even though the trains on B&M inverts or Vekoma SLCs don't actually swing out, it feels like they do since the track is angled that way on curved drops.

@wrestlemaniainlondon No, this came fist & was the one that got those built in England.

@RameyXL Raptor wasn't the first. Five B&M inverts opened before Raptor. This coaster was the first & opened two years before Raptor.

nemisis inferno and air at thorpe park and alton towers beat this.

@Fromp4 meh i wouldnt agree. Kingda Ka does not make the park the best. you need many different types of rides for all ages, and all different styles.

[wexham08]

B&M, I love you. You have made some of the greatest coasters around including Nemesis.

[INTERVENTIONmw21997]

This ride is awesome

[Mechum22]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Gotcha.

[trickyricky98]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom i like the curved drops but they dont give you the drop feeling like so many others do

thanks for responding
