Wouldn't you like to see 2 more B&M's in Cedar Poi

I would love to see a Floorless and Vertical coaster from B&M come to CP. Or any other type of ride they can dream up. PLEASE BUILD AN INVERTED-STANDUP PLEASE.

I had mentioned this in an earlier post.I think it will be a while b4 CP decides on this.I think they want to see how the floorless's work out before they take a leap and buy one.safe investment I guess.Verticals have not yet come to the US.THey are still in the prototype phase and will probably take a few more years until they come to a park near you.I believe Alton Towers owns the patent on it(am I wrong??)I dont really find the floorless a big thrill like I hoped unless you are in the front car.Anywhere else it feels like you are in a regular coaster.

hmmmmmmmm no.

I wouldn't mind a floorless or a vertical, but I'd much rather see a Seizmic or an ArrowBatic first.

Would you let the inverted stand-up nonsense go, please?

Thank you, Jeff.... Just the thought of that makes me cringe. Why people won't let that concept go is beyond me!

I think if CP decides to go for a multi-looper, they should get something different. I think Intamin would be great! B&M's are too commomplace now, and Intamin has proved that they are worthy.

Intamin has proved indeed. Inverted stand-up? That's almost as crazy as laying down...oh, wait a minute...

I'm not crazy about a vertical coaster. I have seen lots of photos of the one at Alton Towers and one in Japan. The course is too short. A Floorless would be good, but I am high on Intamin right now...how smooth MF is simply amazing. I would love to see an Intamin looper and a CCI wooden. A flying coaster would be cool too, but I don't like the laydown aspect of it, just the hang-gliding aspect of it.

This inverted stand-up concept...so many of you are complaining about the fact that you feel pain on Mantis, so why would you want this concept.

Well, why not Kumba? Huh? Not enough inversions you say? Well, we could add two more in there easy. Just give me the job. No, seriously, I know exactly where a pair could go without making it too insane for most.

Inverted stand up is out of the question! I think it would pull to many g's going down the hills and loops. We need a foorless coaster with a new invesion.

Screw floorless. Build a new coaster, and use Intanim

Well, after riding the Batman Knight Flight, I'm just getting sick of B&M's. The only two that really do anything for me is the Raptor, and the Hulk. IF cp HAS to get a B&M, they better make it launching like the hulk. CP needs a launched coaster and a wooden. The latter of the two first, as CP has 12 steelies and only 2 woodies.

net, There are only 2 DIVE coasters in the world-Alton Towers and Taiwan.

We CAN put the inverted stand-up to a rest. It WILL happen eventually, but not in the immediate future. It wouldn't pull too many G's, but I'm sure it's still on the drawing board as an idea and not quite reality.

Taiwan, Japan oops. I got Alton Towers right.

Lift, drop, big giant loop, swooping turn, cobra roll, midcourse with steep drop, interlocking corkscrews, positive G pulling helix finale, brakes.

That, my friends is much like 95% of B&M coasters. Think about Raptor and Mantis' layouts. B&M, while a great company, has become almost as predictable as Vekoma SLC'S and Boomerangs. If they can give us something more unique, than i'm game.

2 more b&m's??? [dr. evil voice] ummm how bout NO scott.

3 Force rides:
3-2, 5-1, 9-2

The lack of track length isn't a technological limitation and mich as it was a park area limitation of the dive machine. I don't think we've seen its full potential, yet.

I wouldn't be shocked by an eventual stand-up inverted. The basic idea of the suspended [not inverted, mind you] coaster existed for 80 years before it was realized.

It's funny, we were all big B&M supporters. Now that we have MF, we are all big Intamin supporters, and for good reason. I never thought a manfacturer would come along with a smoother ride than B&M supplied, but it happened. MF is like gliding on ice it is so smooth.

If B&M does build some more rides at CP, I hope they come up with some innovative designs. The B&Ms are all starting to feel about the same. Batman's Night Flight at SFO feels very tame, with the same old sequence of B&M inversions. From what I've heard, many of the newer B&Ms are more like family rides, with low forces. Mantis was one of the last intense B&M rides. BTW, I hope CP doesn't go with the floorless concept, it's very overated IMHO. Maybe the view is good in the front seat, but every other row feels and looks just like a conventional sit down looper.

I think we need a coaster where you hang by your ankles upside-down. Think of how exciting it would be getting whipped around an outside loop on one of those babies!
