What is an Intamin Rocket or BM Flyer?

I haven't been paying much attention to ride design lately. Is the Intamin Rocket an Xcelerator type ride? And what is a "Flyer"? Don't flame me please,I just haven't been on the net much lately paying much attention to these things, I watched a show on Discovery a few weeks back and see that we now have coasters with riders outside the tracks hanging and spinning in circles as the ride goes along, a year or so away sure makes a difference.

An Intamin Rocket Coaster is a coaster like Xcelerator. A Flyer is a coaster which puts you face down to the ground while it's running. Sort of like lying on your stomach while you ride.

It's very hard to drink all day...
Unless you start first thing in the morning.

There is a B&M Flyer @ Six FLags Georgia. There is an Intamin Flyer @ Six Flags Worlds of Adventure and Six Flags America.
