I rode my frirst b&m hyper yesterday at sf great america and i prefer those trains to intamins plus they have no safety belts:). If i did not look down i wouldn't have known i had a restraint on, they are so free. They make milleniums feel too restrictive in my view.
I've never been on a B&M hyper, but when I'm on MF or TTD, I like knowing I'm not going to fall out. Pulling the seatbelt and pushing down the lapbar as far as they go makes me feel safer. If you don't feel the lapbars on a B&M hyper then I don't think I'd like that too much.

I like the Intamin ones just because I don't like sitting 4-across on hyper coasters. It just doesn't seem...right.
Cedar Point rocks my socks.
My favorite trains are the B&M hyper trains used on Apollo's Chariot and Raging Bull because of their unique restraint systems. They seem less confining than Intamin trains, although I do like the way Intamin has the 2nd row of a car sitting higher than the first row. The stadium seating is really cool on a ride like Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster. It gives the 2nd row people more of a 1st row view, although nothing beats the front seat in my book.

I would say I like MF's trains the best. I haven't been on a B&M hyper and Millie's seats are smaller and just feel more comfortable than TTD's. Storm Runner's OTSR ruin the feeling because they are bulkier.

I prefer Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragsters trains. The restraint system is a lot more comfortable, and I feel a lot safer with a seatbelt and lap bar[url][url].
The B&M restraints are a lot bulkier. The Intamin restraint is small and gives you the feeling of not being held in at all.
