Your B&M Count

Never tried adding them up, so let's see:

*Favourites of each kind

Inverted
1. Nemesis Inferno (first ever inversion for me was on this ride so it's special to me)
2. Nemesis
3. Black Mamba*
4. Dueling Dragons - Fire

Dive
5. Oblivion
6. Baron 1898*
7. Krake
8. Oblivion the Black Hole

Wing
9. The Swarm*
10. Flug Der Daemonen
11. Raptor

Sit Down / Floorless
12. The Hulk (original)
13. Kraken*

Hyper
14. Silver Star*

Flying
15. Air*
16. Manta (controversial opinion: never liked Manta, pretzel loop was uncomfortable)

It seems I have 16!
 
Pretzel loops are a bit much, shocking in fact even for those who are fans, so I wouldn't call #16 too controversial. I'm surprised they exist and that more people don't voice a dislike.
 
I was going to say; Manta is probably one of my least favourite B&M coasters almost entirely because of the pretzel loop. Controversially, I definitely prefer Galactica; such a fun ride! I think it boils down to the fact that despite Manta being more intense, I personally find Galactica much more fun.

On the whole, I think that the larger B&M flying coasters are perhaps more polarising than universally loved, and I think part of that comes down to whether you like the really constant, mind-numbing intensity that the pretzel loops offer.
 
Not nearly as many as I'd like.

Dragon Khan
Shambhala
Nemesis
Air
Oblivion
Nemesis Inferno
Swarm

Wow, its even more depressing seeing just 7 on paper. I need to get out more.

I’ve only been on 4: Oblivion, Air, Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno.

Air is my least favourite; not as thrilling unfortunately (sorry Mr Wardley) and hopefully there’s more thrilling flying coasters out there.

Oblivion has to be my favourite, that drop is phenomenal!
 
65 is my B&M count. These are not in order of preference. Just split out into their types.

With the Spanish set now completed, my inner cred-whore is thinking I should actively pursue the 'every B&M in Europe' goal. Whaddya think? Should I go for it? 6 more to go - I need the Italian ones, (which could be done in a single trip), the Swedish ones and the crappy little Danish one (which maybe could also be done in a single trip).
Proper tempting, that is. 🤔

That's 74 total.
 
Quite a bad number, none.... First of all, I don't have too many credits, my interest in rollercoasters really grew just the last couple of years. Second, I already ran into a couple of them (Gardaland this year) but I was refused on these for being too tall. And third, bad weather made Baron close down in front of me and my planned trip to Europa Park (Silver Star) was cancelled two days before going there because Covid was striking hard in the area. But there is also some good news, I am planning on a trip to Efteling this year and nothing is going to stop me from riding Baron.

Sadly, my B&M count still sits at 14, having not added a new one since 2016… they’re still my most ridden manufacturer at present, but will be usurped by Mack Rides when I visit Europa in April if I get to ride every non-kiddie cred there.

On the plus side, Europa will hopefully net me my 15th B&M in the form of Silver Star; first new B&M in 6 years!
 
At first, I expected to come up with quite a low number, but upon counting, I realised that I am currently just missing 5 in Europe (Monster, Batman, Superman, Shambala, Dragon Khan). All coasters sorted according to my personal ranking.


Hyper Coasters:
Silver Star

Floorless
Daemonen

Flying
Galatica

Inverted
Monster (Walygator)
Oziris
Katun
Black Mamba
Nemesis Inferno
Nemesis

Dive-Coaster
Valkyria
Oblivion
Oblivion the Black Hole
Krake
Baron 1898

Winged-Coaster
Fenix
The Swarm
Flug der Dämonen
Raptor

The best one I have done so far is Monster at Walygator, which was such a crazy intense experience. It is certainly not a ride for everyone, but as someone who loves his intense rides, it is amazing.
If all goes according to plan, I might be able to double this number. Crazy to think about it, actually.
