What park has the best collection of B&M's?
My vote goes to Six Flags over Georgia, with Busch Gardens Tampa in a close second. Georgia has the quantity mixed with the quality, but I think that BGT has the quality advantage but they need one more B&M type to put them over the top.

Busch Gardens Africa baby. They've got Montu, a 150 foot B&M invert which's world-renowned as one of the best looping coasters ever, SheiKra, USA's first B&M dive machine coaster & obviously the best one since it's the tallest, fastest, longest, & most unique one too. Finally, they've got Kumba, the best B&M twister coaster which really set the bar for B&M's creativity level. Honorable mentions go to Six Flags over Georgia (Goliath, Batman: the Ride, & Georgia Scorcher), Busch Gardens Europe (Apollo's Chariot, Alpengeist, & Griffon), & Six Flags Magic Mountain (Riddler's Revenge, Batman: the Ride, Scream!, & Tatsu).

Six Flags Great America for me. Both Busch Gardens parks would be solid honorable mentions.

I picked BGT too - Montu and Kumba are both superb rides, those two alone beat every other park in my mind.. and then you throw in a fun little ride in sheikra, and yea... it gets my pick. SFMM would be second to me, SFOG third.
I didn't even put Great America in my top.. they have one of the worst B&M stand-ups, a lame SUF, a BTR and the weakest B&M hyper in the US.... not enough quality IMO.

Of my experiences, BGA has the best. All three of their B&M's are in my Top 10, and are amazing rides. If you count Dueling Dragons as seperate rides, then IoA would rank second, SFGAm at a distant third.

I think Busch Gardens Europe does because Apollo's Chariot may just be the best B&M coaster in the world and Griffin is sure to be just as good or better than SheiKra. Alpengeist is also considered one of the best inverted coasters in the world.
Six Flags Great Adventure and Busch Gardens Africa also have great B&M collections.
