Other than that, I can't understand the "B&M clones" comment either.
- Batman: The Ride as been cloned at numerous Six Flags parks.
- Chang is a mirror of Mantis, ok, not a clone but pretty close.
- Orochi is a Raptor clone but it's now SBNO.
- G5 and Oblivion are pretty similar but not exact.

That Zero-G roll looks very different from any other B&M Invert Zero-G roll...

I was referring to B&M inverts, not all their coasters. Besides Oz'Iris, most of the layouts on their recent inverts have only had slight changes in their layout, it is nice to see Banshee bringing something new to the table

Orochi now operates as Monster at Walygator Parc in France, sans the MCBs and with a considerably re-profiled drop. The complete lack of any trims makes the second half of the layout easily one of the most intense pieces of coaster I've ever ridden. It's a bit of a shame its existence is so scarcely known, despite Walygator's relative proximity to the UK... That thing really is something of a hidden gem.mikecloud1984 wrote:Erm......danny.g97 wrote:Which B&M inverts are clones?Benji wrote: WOW. That zero-g-roll looks amazing! It's good to see some more B&M inverts being built with different layouts. These days most of them are just clones of each other.
Other non invert B&M clones(ish)

And for the record, it's not technically a Raptor clone - their respective pre-lift turnarounds are completely different.

Banshee seems to have more of a Swarm (Wingrider) style Zero G instead of a invert style that people say look ugly

This is the "ugly" one I'm referring toNickiFan wrote:
Just me that thinks that Zero-G roll is ugly? sorry to go off topic but ya know. Yeah, ugly B&Ms. I still don't like the look of Banshee.
