- Scott Gerken asks:
-
- >Do all B&M coasters first drop curve to the left? I ask this because
- >both of the B&M coasters at Paramount Great America (PGA) do.
-
- Not all of them.
-
- The Intamin Stand-up coaster (formerly Shockwave at SFGAd, now going
- to be Batman--the Ride at Astroworld) was designed by Bollinger and
- Mabillard, swoop drops off to the right, as does the "Vortex" B&M
- stand-up coaster at Carowinds in Charlotte, NC.
-
-
- The remaining B&M rides:
-
- Batman--the Ride - SFGAm; Gurnee, IL
- Iron Wolf - SFGAm; Gurnee, IL
- Vortex - Paramount's GAm; Santa Clara, CA
-
- (and to be built)
-
- Top Gun - Paramount's GAm; Santa Clara, CA
- Batman--the Ride - SFGAd; Jackson, NJ
-
-
- ...all swoop drop to the left.
