Our last "Best B&M Invert" discussion was June 2012. Surprising this topic didn't spring up sooner! :razz:

Hmmm tough actually. I've enjoyed all of them.
I'll say:
Batman clones (love the forcefulness!)
Talon
Raptor
Great Bear
Alpengeist (fun but was kinda forceless)
Dueling Dragons (it was long ago, I don't really remember them but thought they were solid. I think Fire was better)

Dueling Fragons Fire

However putting them like this is out of context as I love B&M Inverts. The top 3 of these are in my top 5 of all time. All of these would be in the top section of my list anyway.

DC was really good when it duelled, and it didn't feel like you were doing half the coaster because there was a reason behind it, but, now... Yeah, it feels like you're only doing half of it and it's so dumb.
My list would be uhhh...

Alpengeist

I don't like the term "best to worst" because I <3 B&M Inverts, so here's my list from "best to least best".
Nemesis
Katun
Batman (Great America)
Raptor
Inferno
Montu
I should have three more to add to this list by the end of the season.

Copy, paste and slightly modify from an older topic, which itself was copied and pasted from the exact same topic before that:
1. Pyrennees - Fantastic coaster. It has the height, speed, length and "old school" B&M feel to it.
2. Afterburn - Where did it come from? Never heard of it before, but it was amazing. Could have benefitted from some actual mist in the tunnel though, instead of that pathetic sprinkle that was there.
3. Nemesis - Maybe it's loyalty/nostalgia, but there really is nothing else like it.
4. Katun - Best first drop of any invert I've ridden, and stupidly forceful to the point of feeling quite ill after a few rerides.
5. Black Mamba - Really good fun with excellent theming. Smooth and forceful.
6. Talon - Forceful layout with no "dead" spots at all. An excellent coaster.
7. Great Bear - Huge surprise! I've heard so many mediocre reports on it, but I thought it was excellent. The whole "dying at the end" argument left me expecting a really crappy second half, but it's literally RIGHT at the end. There's not much track left after the corkscrew anyway.
8. Alpengeist - Loved the first half. The second half was ****, especially the zero g that actually does NOTHING. End of discussion.
9. Phaethon - One of the best zero g rolls I've ridden, but the rest of the coaster is a bit bland. It's tall, long and has a nice layout, but it's just too smooth and lacks force. It's easily, along with Patriot, the most reridable of the bunch though, and one of the most enjoyable.
10. Patriot - Reminded me a lot of Phaethon, in that it's really smooth and reridable, though not particularly forceful. The zero-g ties with Phaethon's for my favourite zero g of any coaster.
11. Batman The Ride (Warner Madrid) - Yeah, they're all the same ride, but I enjoyed this one the most. Probably to do with the theming of the area and station.
12. Batman The Ride (St. Louis) - Seemed much more forceful than Great Adventure's. However, I wasn't in the best condition to judge on the day I rode it. A big apple would have felt too forceful to be honest.
13. Batman The Ride (Great Adventure) - Maybe I was expecting too much, but it did nothing for me. This was my first Batman clone, but I much preferred the two I rode after it.
14. Nemesis Inferno - I liked it a lot more last time I rode it, but it's still not as good as the ones I've listed above it.
15. Raptor - Just a bit crap to be honest when compared with all the others.
