I've been on:

Both Vortex's (Thrilling, but short-----5 out of 10 for both)
Iron Wolf (Thrilling, but too short-----5 out of 20)
Chang (Great ride, too much yellow----7 out of 10)
Mantis (Best of them all IMO..-----10 out of 10...Even though Mantis & Chang are almost the same...Chang just didn't thrill me as much, being a mirror image)
Riddler (Damn good ride, love the dive loops!----9 out of 10)
and Georgia Scorcher (Also a damn good ride----8 1/2 out of 10)

My Favorite one is the Mantis. I don't care what anyone says about this coaster, it's fun, fast, and wacky crazy....and has just about the best color scheme on any of the B&M Stand-ups in my opinion. And it just happens to reside in my second favorite park.

hmm, you like mantis, at cedar point (your second favorite park) the best....

yet for some reason you rank the ride's clone 4th out of 6?

**looks at your avatar**

Ooohhh, now i get it! :roll: :lol:


heres my list of B&M standups i've been on, best to worst.

Riddler's Revenge


Ok, so i've only been on one, but i guess i should say that i loved RR, one of my favorite coasters.

Has yet to crush my balls, just "sit" down then scooch back, they'll be fine when they're infront of you (opposed to UNDER you :x )

Where did you hear they are mirror-images? They are similar, but quite different.
and [Mantis] has just about the best color scheme on any of the B&M Stand-ups in my opinion.

Wow, I think Mantis has just about the ugliest color scheme of any coaster.

Beware of the freeze-dried donkey!

The first half of Chang is an almost excact mirrored clone of Mantis. The second half however is different ;)

I have only ridden two B&M stand ups and would have to say that Riddlers Revenge at SFMM was the best. I found Mantis at Cedar Point quite painful and will not rush back to ride this one again

Yummy! I just ate donkey!

But what I'm saying is -- they are mirror images if youre playing RCT, but not from an engineering stand point. The fact is, they have different heights, different drop angles, different sized elements, etc.

I loved Iron Wolf! 8) although, I did expect it to be rough so I rode it in the Vekoma position. The twists and stuff are so insanely quick, and like the track changes angles it dodgy places, like teh bottom of the first drop lol. But yeh, its the only one I've ridden so I can't vote for the best, but I still think it's a tad under-rated, I found it dead fun!

He's kind of sad and pathetic

I've been on...

Mantis
Iron Wolf
Georgia Scorcher
Vortex
Riddler's Revenge

I'd say the best is Riddler's Revenge, but don't bend your knees on the ride or it will hurt! It's best if you stand up straight on any B&M standup. The evil SFMM ride op made me stand on Riddler's Revenge in a sit-down position and it was so evil that it hurt!
