The fly-to-lie-to-fly-to-lie under the lift is what I'm most interested in, it looks to be an incredible element =P~

Have B&M ever installed a vertical loop on one of their flyers while positioned in the the 'fly' position ? thats what I want to see.

No never, plenty of pretzel loops but never a vertical one.

Unfortunately it doesn't show the 1.5 spin very well but it looks like it takes those final in-lines at quite a speed!

First POV. The loop can't be that intense as people aren't screaming more than usual during it.

Video reminds me of Stu. ;)

Looks lovely. Looks like a progression of Air, quite literally!

Looks like more my scene than the pretzel styled Manta and Tatsu.

I have to say this does look incredible. The lying tunnel looks brilliant, and the rest of the layout looks just as great :D

It's a single station though, so B&M must be either confident that they've solved all the issues that bog down throughput (Air anyone?) since this is the first custom one to feature single loading I believe, or experimenting to see wether it will work with a different layout to the Superman model.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but on the lift hill the stairs are to the right and there is nothing under the carriages, how would they escape? Or I'm pressuming they haven't completed it yet :?

Err, have you looked at Air? ;)


B&M flyers have a movable platform, just like Vekoma SLCs.

It looks alot more intense, but it definately makes you appreciate the landscaping Air has with all the foliage...
.Will

Imagine that weird fly-to-lie-to-fly-to-lie thing with Air's landscaping, doing all that inches from the floor...wow...

Just watched the POV. It's perfect. =P~

Love how it has the same mousey type squeak as it goes around as air does :P
