[quote=""Fanta""][quote=""genesis""][quote=""Beaver Dude""]Plus Intamin is way better than B&M.[/quote]I completely disagree, B&M changed the face of roller coaster design as we know it.[/quote]
Well there older ones did. They haven't done much revolutionary since, ooh I'd say 1999 with there Floorless coaster. And even that was just an evolution of a sit down design. Intamin are the forerunners of coaster designs at the moment, look at the amount of Accelerator coasters they have already running.[/quote]What about Air in 2002? I know it was in development soon after Nemesis was complete but the world didn't know about it until 2002.
Have we seen the last of the 'Secret Weapons'?

Yeah, but it's debatable as to whether the Flying Dutchman's were actually a true flying coaster, as they relied on tilting the trains round the track rather than in the way B&M spent years designing on their Aerial Inversion Coasters. I believe Vekoma's efforts were viewed as 'cheating' a bit...
There's more Volare models from Zamperla than Flying Dutchmans! And who's heard of them! :P

Yes, and what an amazing and revolutionary mechanism it is. The other 'flying roller coasters are boarded the oppisite way. (You sit down, pulled back to 'lying down' position, track rotated so you're in 'flying' position.)
