Do you remember your 1st B&M experience? Doesn't matter what type of B&M coaster it was. Mine was the Great Bear at Hersheypark. I was 11 years old & very frighteneed of roller coasters. I've ridden it a lot ever since then. It's still a good ride. The only other B&M coaster I've ridden was Talon & I love it a lot more than Great Bear.

Gosh, I can't even remember.  It was either Hulk, Montu, or Kumba, but I really have no idea which. Might have been Hulk though...

I'm pretty sure mine was Batman the Ride at SFGAm, since neither of my local parks have ever had a B & M. This was about 9 years ago, and I could not have cared less about designs back then. But my totals:
'96- BTR
'99- Apollo's chariot and Alpengeist
'99- Iron Wolf (got the courage), Raging Bull
'00- Mantis and Raptor
'02- Great Bear
Not bad since I've never really done a coaster road trip.

I'm only asking this question because a lot of people say that B&M are the coaster geniuses in the amusement industry. I just wandered about your 1st experience & how that made you become a B&M fan.

First B&M was Montu and even after going on rides like Dragster and Millenium Force in Cedar Point, which are amazing rides! I still consider Montu my favorite coaster, I just think It's a perfect ride the whole way through!
Some of my other B&M favorites are Kraken, Hulk, Dueling Dragons and Apollo's Chariot.Hopefully Sheikra will be another favorite when I ride it in about two months.

The first ever B & M for me was Batman the Ride at Six Flags Over Georgia. It was in 1998, which was my first trip back to the park since the early 90's. I had heard alot about the ride through websites like this one before riding it, so I was well-prepared for the ride experience, which, in my opinion, is one of the best inverted coasters I have ever ridden to this point behind, Volcano:TBC, Raptor, and Deja Vu. It is #2 on the B & M Inverted list currently behind Raptor only, but I know that will change after my many first-time park trips this and next year.
