Being one of my top 3 types of coaster- Inverted, which usually means they are B&M, I thought I would start a thread specifically about the celebrated and much loved B&M Inverted coasters.
Below listed are the 15 original themed/layouts to date.
10 in the USA, 2 -England, 1 -Canada, 1-Italy and 1-Germany.
-How many out of the 15 have you been on?
-Of the ones you have rode, which is your favourite?
-If you could ride any, what top 3 would you most want to ride?
-Are you planning on hitting any you have not yet been on next season?
