What's new

Your B&M Count

To expand upon my post above, I'll rank the 14 B&M coasters I've done, and put the date on which I first rode each coaster alongside it.
  1. Mako - SeaWorld Orlando (first ridden 23rd August 2016)
  2. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa (first ridden 22nd August 2016)
  3. SheiKra - Busch Gardens Tampa (first ridden 22nd August 2016)
  4. Oblivion - Alton Towers (first ridden 28th September 2013)
  5. Nemesis Inferno - Thorpe Park (first ridden 27th July 2014)
  6. Nemesis - Alton Towers (first ridden 28th September 2013)
  7. The Swarm - Thorpe Park (first ridden 27th July 2014)
  8. Kraken - SeaWorld Orlando (first ridden 26th August 2016)
  9. Incredible Hulk - Universal's Islands of Adventure (first ridden 17th August 2014)
  10. Kumba - Busch Gardens Tampa (first ridden 22nd August 2016)
  11. Galactica - Alton Towers (first ridden 28th September 2013)
  12. Manta - SeaWorld Orlando (first ridden 26th August 2016)
  13. Dragon Challenge Hungarian Horntail (first ridden 17th August 2014)
  14. Dragon Challenge Chinese Fireball (first ridden 25th August 2016)
Overall, I do generally like B&M coasters a lot, and I'm certainly well overdue a new B&M credit; out of 79 ridden coasters, the top 10 of that ranking all sit in my top 20, with even Kumba sitting at #17 and an 8/10 for me. The overall rankings do take quite a significant nosedive at 11-14, however... all of those 4 sit somewhere in the 40s, with a rating of 5/10.

I'm very keen to see where on that list Silver Star ends up sitting when I ride it in April... the fact that the other B&M hyper I've done is top dog within that list (and my overall coaster ranking) makes me hopeful that SS could at least make the upper 50% of the B&M coasters I've ridden, but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, as ultimately, anything could happen at Europa in April.

Guess i need 1 more to get to 50% of open B&Ms. Which is going to happen before the next 2 B&Ms open
 
Hmmm, very interesting.
I will have to check my coaster-count for this.
But i can tell my first ever B&M was the former Vortex standup at what was called Paramount Great America back in 2001.
And my last B&M was Dæmonen at Tivoli Gardens in 2019

EDIT:
I've been on 36 different B&M coasters in the USA and Europe.
Right now I still need 3 more coasters to complete the Euro set, Valkyria and Monster in Sweden and Monster in France.
The 2 Swedish coasters I will ride in 3 or 4 weeks time.

My top 10 B&M coasters are:
1. Shambhala
2. Nemesis
3. Tatsu
4. Montu
5. Manta
6. Katun
7. Oziris
8. Riddler's Revenge
9. Dragon Khan
10. Fenix

I've been on 30, or 8.6% of my count. They're my 4th most ridden manufacturer
I have ambitious plans to get another 10 or so this year so fingers crossed!

I'm on 51, missing quite a few from Europe, still 7 to get.

I'm now up to a nice round 20, which is 7.02% of my overall count:

Yeah, this yeah has been good for the B&M count. Hoping to up it by a couple more yet this year.

I need to finesse my cred sheet a bit more, but I can say B&M are my sixth most ridden manufacturer now, with Vekoma (50) coming in 1st, Mack (24) in 2nd and Gerstlauer, Intamin and Zierer (21) in a joint 3rd-place tie.
 
I'm on 91 now, so have just crept past 75% of their 120 'extant' coasters.

They make up 6.63% of the total count and are currently 4th most numerous of the manufacturers behind Vekoma, Mack and Intamin.
 
There won’t be any more for me this year, might as well update too!

As it turns out, Silver Star ended up pretty high on this list! It was also good to finally get on a new B&M for the first time since 2016, and I’m glad it was such a good one:
  1. Mako - SeaWorld Orlando (first ridden 23rd August 2016)
  2. Silver Star - Europa Park (first ridden 27th April 2022)
  3. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa (first ridden 22nd August 2016)

I'm on 91 now, so have just crept past 75% of their 120 'extant' coasters.

They make up 6.63% of the total count and are currently 4th most numerous of the manufacturers behind Vekoma, Mack and Intamin.
To back this up I figured it might be fun to do an alternative list of those that I haven't ridden. Turns out that that 120 includes 2 under construction and the 2 dormant HotGo ones I've looked at from a taxi, so the to do list is sitting at 25 right now:

Batman The Ride - Six Flags Over Texas
Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland
DaVinci Ride - Fantasy Valley
Decepticoaster - Universal Studios Beijing
Diving Machine G5 - Janfusun Fancyworld
Dragon's Run - Dragon Park
Emperor - SeaWorld San Diego
Falcon - Wuxi Sunac Land
Family Inverted Coaster - Happy Valley Beijing
Firebird - Six Flags America
Flight of the Himalayan Eagle Music Roller Coaster - Happy Valley Beijing
Forest Predator - Happy Valley Nanjing
Georgia Scorcher - Six Flags Over Georgia
Goliath - La Ronde
Goliath - Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Great White - SeaWorld San Antonio
Heaven's Wing - HB World
Hot Wheels Nitro - Imagicaa
Insane Speed - Janfusun Fancyworld
Leviathan - Canada's Wonderland
Monster - Gröna Lund
Superman Krypton Coaster - Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Superman - Ultimate Flight - Six Flags Over Georgia
Vampire - La Ronde
Yukon Striker - Canada's Wonderland

That makes 7 in China, 5 in Canada, 4 in Texas, 2 in Taiwan, 2 in Georgia (both spiters!) and 1 each in California, India, Maryland, Sweden and Vietnam.
Which might just tell me where I'm due to go next.
 
I have been meaning to get to Taiwan for so long and also hope to get to all beemers one day. But when they explode all over China that should be option A. Just hope they are still there when getting to the island.

Flight Deck at CGA was an excellent addition to my list and that was before news of its potential demise.
