Talon is definitely a great ride, my second favorite coaster at Dorney. The ride begins in typical B&M Invert fashion, with a twisted drop followed by three consecutive large inversions. I didnt find anything too special about these, except for a very intense "pull out" of the vertical loop. The best parts of the ride are simple turns! This is where Talon is unique among B&M inverts and is the most intense part of the ride. Several of the turns are low to the ground, and I really felt blood sort of rushing to my feet as I was painless whisked through the elements. The corkscrew is probably the best of the inversions, taken low to the ground and at a nice speed. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a break in the action, right before the corkscrew, where the train seems to hover over a straight piece of track near the station at a very slow speed. I didnt get a ride in the front, but Im sure the visuals are great up there. Talon is not quite my favorite inverted coaster, but I really do appreciate B&M and Cedar Fair doing something unique that worked out very well.
