B&M is loosing all their B&Mness


How so? As technology evolves, things such as pre-drops become unnecessary.


It's just a matter of design. Maybe parks didn't like the pre-drop? The last new B&M coaster with a pre-drop was Phaethon at Gyeongju World (S. Korea) built in 2007.

While I do find the pre drop amusing and find it to be quite fun in the back row I really hate that they have gradually taken the sudden whip out of their corkscrews, those older corkscrews are so much more fun in my opinion than the new ones

I just noticed this thread, but wow really cool layout. Glad to see B&M building a big custom inverted coaster again. Hopefully this thing has old school B&M forces, but the layout is very interesting at least.
