To bad you didn't get to ride it. It puts Nitro to shame.

Overall as a company, but Drachen Fire? It was their masterpiece. Nitro is probably B&M's most overrated and dissappointing hyper.

Actually, Drachen Fire is basicly an Arrow made B&M sitdown. The only difference is that it was rough. And Nitro blows your face away 3r1c!

Does B&M have a first drop like that? An airtime hill? A cutback? Drachen Fire was very, very intense unlike most B&M things.
Drachen Fire blew Nitro away, and I've ridden both, unlike you.

I would like to die on Hulk. My OTSR could pop open right before the launch, and I would fall out during the zero-g roll adn fall into that net they have below. I would then probably fall out of the net and fall to my fun-filled death.

You ALWAYS are dissing Nitro and praising Drachen Fire. I seriously doubt that Nitro is that overrated if it is at all.

Now, Did I say Nitro blew Drachen Fire away? No, no, no, no, no, I said: "Nitro blows your face away 3r1c"

Nitro has two good elements: a first drop (but there are others which are better), and a hammerhead. Airtime is literally non-exisistant, or not very powerful. The helix is intense, but only in a few seats. It leaves you with that guy feeling "that was it?" at the end.

Could it be that you put your harness down to far or you weren't sitting in a good seat?

I sat in 5 different seats, I left 2-3 inches and didn't hold my hands up and left them on the harness to get maximum airtime. I barely got any. It's nothing compared to Apollos Chariot.

Apollo's Chariot is amazing. The airtime is incredible and you're held in by almost nothing. Nitro does look fun though.

You can't go wrong with AC's third drop.

Oh hell no he didn't just say that. IMO AC beats Hulk, and Hulk was amazing. AC is amazing in the back row.

I agree, the third drop is amazing in every seat. I would have to say that I liked Hulk a little more than AC though (it has a more interesting layout) although AC was incredible.

No, he just said said "AC sucks," giving no reason why he thought it sucked.

And AC doesn't suck. The only B&M hyper that may be better than AC is Silverstar, and I don't know anybody who's ridden that

Death is an adventure that I never want to embark on. To me the best way to die on a coaster would be of a heart attack when the train enters the station after an enjoyable ride. Not very cool but a peace full way out of this world. But I do not plan to every die. ??????

You know, we have the technology to keep people alive for very long periods of time. The only problem with that would be overpopulating the planet.

I'd want to die on the Mindbender @ SFoG. It was my 1st coaster so it might as well be my last
