Fantastic video! It's no secret that I am a big fan of B&M coasters and this video really does a great job of explaining who the firm is. Great job once again.
I will always have such a soft spot in my heart for Air. I went from liking coasters to loving them with that first ride on it. It was so smooth, so beautifully swooping, it captured my imagination.
The fact that the whole video comes without a "but" or "however" when it comes to reliability and success says a lot. B&M are incredibly accomplished on creating rides that are packed with thrill and very often huge in their own league (such as big looping inverted and floorless coasters), or towering over whole parks like their latest Gigas, and yet, they are crowd pleasing, silky smooth and that counts a LOT when a park is investing million on a new ride. Kudos to the company for its admirable track record (pun intended lol). And for everyone saying they are non innovative, take a look at what their designs brought to the early 90s and how that would set the bar higher for the entire coaster industry - not to mention the inverted coaster breakthrough itself.
I have to say, if I ever got to ask the creators one thing, it would be how they managed to construct such beautifully smooth rides. I've only ridden a couple of their rollercoasters but the smoothness and ride experience is something unbeatable. I'd love to see them continue to introduce new and exciting elements and ride techs in the near future
They are, as a company, a true example of absolutely exceptional engineering at play. Their rides have great capacity, great reliability, great longevity, and they are incredibly (almost unbelievably) safe. Definitely a very different design philosophy from say Intamin (who deserves much credit for pushing boundaries to new levels, but sometimes with substantial consequences), but once B&M does offer a product, you can have a high level of confidence that product will excel in every measurable metric. I also love how they use a US steel producer for all their rides.
@@ArrowThrills Universal sucks because they became the first to delete a B&M. Just sell both coasters to separate parks. Discovery Kingdom could have red and Michigan's Adventure could have blue. And I'm not even kidding about the latter, they need a decent roller coaster
Gotta love the look and sound of a B&M. Not only can you identify one by its sturdy box smoothly flowing track, you can also often hear them quite a distance away, as air being pushed through and over the track makes a very distinctive low roaring sound like a large turbofan aircraft.
B&M really does have a long history of making world-class roller coasters, and I'm glad you made a video on it :) They are just a high-quality roller coaster manufacturer, and they are well-deserved to have a video like this explaining their work since 1988, when they first became public. Like you said, I hope their number of coaster models expand within the next several years, since they are currently my favourite coaster manufacturer.
Call me a fanboy, but this is easily the best roller coaster manufacturer in my biased opinion. First coaster I ever rode was a B&M, which was Medusa in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, and it was an absolutely enjoyable experience.
Every B&M coaster I've been on has been fantastic. I haven't been on that many coasters yet, but all my favorites so far that are still standing are B&M.
Wow this video is awesome! B&M is one of the best rollercoaster manufacturers, I love all of their models! I see a lot of amazing coasters from my home parks in this video. You did a great job with this! 🎢🎢
Will forever be a B&M fanboy, since they opened nemmy at Alton Towers, so many wonderful rides. Shambahla/Mako are amazing! I was recently blown away by montu at busch, just expected a bog standard B&M, then remembered, B&M dont do Bog standard!
@@jey240 that was actually on universal I believe. They didn't want the rides going anywhere else though if you go to busch gardens their invert is very similar to the ice side
As a Swiss I must say that I am so proud! Most Swiss people dont know the fact that B&M coasters and Intamin are engineered here and are in fact one of the best manufacturers!
gotta love that whoosh transition! I think this is the most high quality video I have seen from you to date! well done harry! even if you had to render it 7 times lol! 1 thing tho, its pronounced Bolee- shuu and mabe-ard sorry for being picky
To be truly honest, it doesn't seem like many outside of Switzerland are able to pronounce the companies name as Claude and Walter do. I understood going in that the pronunciation may not be 100% right. Thanks though. :)
Their coasters arent as intense as some others but they're still up there, and they're also so much more smooth and comfy than any other I've ever ridden, definitely the best company
I really don't get this...it seems like they innovated alot (invert, wing, dive, standup, floorless, hyper...). Why are they definitely not innovators?
They didn't create the first hyper, arrow did, they just made them better, X2 is technically a wing coaster they just took out the rotation and made them something different, the arrow suspended came out before the invert but those couldn't do inversion, Togo made the first stand up, but they all suck compared to the B&M's. Floorless is a cool take on standard trains, but not "revolutionary". The dive model is really the only thing that was innovated, and that's really just a holding break before the drop, but they are different and really cool. Heck, even the Flying Dutchman came out before the B&M flyer, but the Vekoma's are nothing compared to the B&M's
x2 is not a wing coaster they invented them, suspendeds arent in the same group as inverts so they invented inverts, and floorless is something new they invented
my point is that the idea was already there for both the wing and invert. Even in this video its mentioned how the arrow suspended was an earlier concept of hanging below the track. and also, x2 is technically a wing coaster, the seat rotation is an extra element
Walter , Claude and John Wardley , 3 wise men indeed 👌🏼. I could have cried when they chopped up Dragon Challenge 😢, shame it didn’t moved to another park .
Thx for another entertaining video. B&M is my favorite manufacturer due to smoothness and intensity! :)Did u see that Theme Park Crazy just got 20,000 subs?
I loved this! I love these types of videos! Are you planning to make a RMC explained video? Because that would be fantastic! Keep up the amazing work! ~ Sydni
Well, I, Harry, do a significant portion of the work for the channel, other people do contribute and help towards the production. Both Aron and Andrew, from the live streams, help me plan future videos and also proof read scripts. Andrew also collects research for videos, which saves me a lot of time. :)
@chef Darth MGTOW the coaster fan from hogwarts there's an explanation for the headache after any of their coasters with over the shoulder restraints. That's for sure
Fantastic video, Harry! Everybody has their own preferences when it comes to manufacturers, and that's cool. B&M happens to be my favorite, and my family's, so I very much enjoyed this insight.
My first ever coaster with inversions was Black Mamba at Phantasialand... Still one of my favorite rollercoaster because it is intense but smooth at the same time... The quality of B&M is outstanding... Like the quality of your videos :) Nice work :)
contracted by RMC however subcontracted by VEKOMA since RMC owns some old assets from ARROW DYNAMICS and ARROW had VEKOMA as a sub contractor! get it? its a bit confusing i know
It’s so cool to know B&M makes there track in my city technically because I live in Cincinnati and well the factory is a county that is apart of the Cincinnati Metropolitan area it is so cool
Are you sure? i305 had always had low ridership, even on busy days. A successful ride would not alienate itself from the general public that music. Ultimately it was a bad investment for the park.
COASTER BOT that's true. I went on a day when dominator had a 45 min line, volcano had a 1 hr+ line, avalanche had a 30 min line, flight of fear had a 40 min line, and backlot had a 30 min line, i305 had a...wait for it....walk-on. It was a walk-on. It was CRAZY.
dope video. got me interested in looking up the manufacturers of all my favorite rides at six flags great america and nearly every single one was b&m. mad respect to this company
I ran this a normal speed and that says something. Thank you for such a great video. One of my greatest regrets in life was not to find a career path into the amusement park industry. There isn't any side of the industry that I don't love even the mundane business side. I would have never had the smarts to be a part of a roller coaster development company so I hold these development companies in awe. These guys excite my imagination. The next step always needs to be different and reliable. I'd love to see an interesting mouser that isn't restricted to a small box. Why can't a mouser go beyond the box and do a little unexpected wandering in the park or through uneven geography. Add an element of surprise that riders can't seen from the ride. Advertise the ride by having the cars exposed near walking paths--up and over, quick turns, a quick drop under a pedestrian pathway--mimic the visual you get from Disney's log flume. Put jumping fountains going up a chain hill for a roller coaster. Put it on both sides of the coaster and follow the coaster up to the top of the ride. At the top have the jumping fountain leap off the hill and fall.
It sounds like you have very expensive ideas is not just the money they have to paid to make this happen but the regular maintenance to keep everything working. I believe is not the lack of creativity but the lack of funding when they only have to stay within their limited budget. Even huge corporations like Disney and Universal sometimes failed to proper maintain their rides for example the Yeti at expedition Everest haven’t worked for years because taking it off to fix it it would be too expensive, many props been removed in different rides through out the park and been replaced by cheaper versions to save money and this are parks with huge budgets now imagine a small park with smaller budgets.
@@anaz5918 There are plenty of rides that rely on props and gimmicks. They're all maintained except (for example) the Indiana Jones ride where the falling ice effect was cut due to expensive maintenance but it's still a ride that they maintained. Alton towers has a mouser that isn't confined to a carny carry box. A mouser like that can easily be adapted to terrain without much cost. A highly technical coaster like Top Thrill Dragster has a simple concept as far as rides go: massive acceleration, a high high top hat and massive deceleration on a basic out and back format. The problem with the coaster is that it is immensely expensive to maintain--so much so that the president and CEO has claimed it was one of his biggest mistakes. There's no doubt in my mind that Cedar Point has been looking for a reason to retire the money pit and now they have it (I'm not explaining this story to you.) Only time will tell if it lives another few years. As for expense, amusement parks are immensely expensive to operate so much so they look for outside sponsorship. Many amusement parks decided to make up for the expense by installing travelling carny rides or to try to convert to a children's park. This business model seems to work only on a temporary basis. Thrill seekers lose interest in these types of rides quickly. Changing the focus to carne rides or children's rides is only a bandaid. And those parks eventually close. Your example of Expedition Everest is an example of doing something bigger than anyone had done before. The Yeti, the coaster track and the mountain were all on different foundations. What the engineers didn't take into account was the huge repetitive motion of the Yeti. It was under engineered and the fix would require Disney to demolish major parts of the mountain and rebuild it--that's bigger than a simple repair. It would probably cost Disney just as much or more than it would to install a new themed coaster somewhere else. (All coasters have a lifespan. There comes a point where they need to be retracked or torn down.) I'm not sure the Yeti will ever be correctly fixed. Amusement parks are a business. When they build a coaster, they already know what they expect the life span to be. A short life span means they lose money. If they make repairs, they can extend the life of the coaster, but there may be a time when the repairs aren't cost effective and they need to retire the ride. And of course there are the nostalgia coasters that the parks maintain out of a sense of pride (but they build that maintenance cost into the cost of operating the park.) The problem with Everest is similar to the chair lift ride that was removed from DisneyLand. They discovered damages to one of the support poles inside Disneyland's Everest. In order to fix it they'd have to tear into that mountain to fix it so they simply removed the ride completely. (Maybe Disney should abstain from creating anymore rides around the theme of Everest.) As for the expense you're referring to, Amusement Parks are required to make their parks a unique experience from all of the other parks. Yes, you have flat rides and some coasters that overlap. But in this business, bigger, different, gimmicky, faster, taller and different themes create unique experiences in the park. All that stuff makes the park a tourist destination. Also adding a new thrill at least every other year help keeps the locals going. *And I do have an idea how to fix the Yeti without tearing down the mountain. It's a little out of the box, but it could work.
Sydni Schaller what did he spell wrong exactly? Looks fine to me... maybe you should check before you use that super overused roast. And besides it’s a joke. Learn internet sarcasm before you come back.
I'm normally an Intamin fangirl, but Nemesis is my favorite coaster in the world. So glad I got talked into that Alton Towers day trip when I stayed in London.
I really like your videos. The "Explained" videos are very good an i have learned alot of those videos. I can se that you have many videoclips from Liseberg in Gothenburg, Sweden. Thats my home park. Have you been there?
I miss dueling dragons so much! They were the first roller coasters I rode way back in 8th grade in 2005! I remember I went on my 8th grade field trip to Islands of adventure and my friends and I would go on that ride over and over again. Such fun memories :)
watching rollercoasters off-ride like this is so satisfying. they just swoop through the air so smoothly, it’s kinda beautiful
I agree! :)
Wing coasters may not be the best to ride, but they are so nice to look at.
I definitely agree
It's almost as satisfying as riding them yourself.
@@porrasm true especially with a smooth coaster with airtime.
These rides are just awesome to look at
They truly are! :)

Dueling Dragons was definitely a career highlight for them. Too bad it's being removed 😭
ohbogey it’s quite rough fun but rough I was lucky enough to ride it the year it was removed I rode it on April 6th of 2017
Im pissed and also is b&m for dumb universal Orlando for removing dragon challenge eventhou I never rode it
Wait it is!!!!!!
I was so hype for this video! GOOD VIDEO HARRY
Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! :)
Started in Switzerland, then known worldwide.
Intamin also did that, but whatever.
RMC is about to do that also, with two additions outside of the U.S. in 2019
*cough cough* what about Wildfire? That was made in Sweeden. That was a RMC. *sighs*
depression is for the rich ?
contracted by RMC however subcontracted by VEKOMA since RMC owns some old assets from ARROW DYNAMICS and ARROW had VEKOMA as a sub contractor! get it? its a bit confusing i know
and just to say. No B&M rides in their own country. I think not even a Intamin one here. The closest to borders s Silver Star at Europa Park.
Loved this video and I love this series. I can’t wait for the next one. Can’t wait for one on Arrow. Keep up the amazing work Harry :)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the series! There's many more to come, so stay tuned. :)

B&M is the best coaster builder because they can build divecoasters, wingcoaster and invertedcoasters
I still have the Thunderbird "Launch passes" from its opening day, sadly. I did ride it after a while, and it's a great B&M wing coaster.
Thunderbird looks fantastic for sure!
YAAAS HARRY

"The Inverted Coaster quickly gained momentum"
Top notch pun.
Thank you ;)
dope video. got me interested in looking up the manufacturers of all my favorite rides at six flags great america and nearly every single one was b&m. mad respect to this company
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching :)

Amazing production value, love this!
Thank you! :)
"Shoulda got a B&M..."
nice vid as usual mate. B&M never fails to make a brilliant coaster. and you've got to admit that nemesis is INCREDIBLE.
Thank you, you're very right :)
@@coasterbot Thanks you :)
well worth the trouble making this video caused...
Definitely! :)
It's great to see how much John Wardley was involved in the designing of some of these coasters :)
Blue Fire Mega Coaster?
NightDribs that is made by Mack
Mack made that.

it was a joke, in reference to 'Mega coasters explained'
I ran this a normal speed and that says something. Thank you for such a great video. One of my greatest regrets in life was not to find a career path into the amusement park industry. There isn't any side of the industry that I don't love even the mundane business side. I would have never had the smarts to be a part of a roller coaster development company so I hold these development companies in awe. These guys excite my imagination. The next step always needs to be different and reliable.
I'd love to see an interesting mouser that isn't restricted to a small box. Why can't a mouser go beyond the box and do a little unexpected wandering in the park or through uneven geography. Add an element of surprise that riders can't seen from the ride. Advertise the ride by having the cars exposed near walking paths--up and over, quick turns, a quick drop under a pedestrian pathway--mimic the visual you get from Disney's log flume.
Put jumping fountains going up a chain hill for a roller coaster. Put it on both sides of the coaster and follow the coaster up to the top of the ride. At the top have the jumping fountain leap off the hill and fall.
It sounds like you have very expensive ideas is not just the money they have to paid to make this happen but the regular maintenance to keep everything working. I believe is not the lack of creativity but the lack of funding when they only have to stay within their limited budget. Even huge corporations like Disney and Universal sometimes failed to proper maintain their rides for example the Yeti at expedition Everest haven’t worked for years because taking it off to fix it it would be too expensive, many props been removed in different rides through out the park and been replaced by cheaper versions to save money and this are parks with huge budgets now imagine a small park with smaller budgets.
@@anaz5918 There are plenty of rides that rely on props and gimmicks. They're all maintained except (for example) the Indiana Jones ride where the falling ice effect was cut due to expensive maintenance but it's still a ride that they maintained. Alton towers has a mouser that isn't confined to a carny carry box. A mouser like that can easily be adapted to terrain without much cost. A highly technical coaster like Top Thrill Dragster has a simple concept as far as rides go: massive acceleration, a high high top hat and massive deceleration on a basic out and back format. The problem with the coaster is that it is immensely expensive to maintain--so much so that the president and CEO has claimed it was one of his biggest mistakes. There's no doubt in my mind that Cedar Point has been looking for a reason to retire the money pit and now they have it (I'm not explaining this story to you.) Only time will tell if it lives another few years.
As for expense, amusement parks are immensely expensive to operate so much so they look for outside sponsorship. Many amusement parks decided to make up for the expense by installing travelling carny rides or to try to convert to a children's park. This business model seems to work only on a temporary basis. Thrill seekers lose interest in these types of rides quickly. Changing the focus to carne rides or children's rides is only a bandaid. And those parks eventually close.
Your example of Expedition Everest is an example of doing something bigger than anyone had done before. The Yeti, the coaster track and the mountain were all on different foundations. What the engineers didn't take into account was the huge repetitive motion of the Yeti. It was under engineered and the fix would require Disney to demolish major parts of the mountain and rebuild it--that's bigger than a simple repair. It would probably cost Disney just as much or more than it would to install a new themed coaster somewhere else. (All coasters have a lifespan. There comes a point where they need to be retracked or torn down.)
I'm not sure the Yeti will ever be correctly fixed. Amusement parks are a business. When they build a coaster, they already know what they expect the life span to be. A short life span means they lose money. If they make repairs, they can extend the life of the coaster, but there may be a time when the repairs aren't cost effective and they need to retire the ride. And of course there are the nostalgia coasters that the parks maintain out of a sense of pride (but they build that maintenance cost into the cost of operating the park.)
The problem with Everest is similar to the chair lift ride that was removed from DisneyLand. They discovered damages to one of the support poles inside Disneyland's Everest. In order to fix it they'd have to tear into that mountain to fix it so they simply removed the ride completely. (Maybe Disney should abstain from creating anymore rides around the theme of Everest.)
As for the expense you're referring to, Amusement Parks are required to make their parks a unique experience from all of the other parks. Yes, you have flat rides and some coasters that overlap. But in this business, bigger, different, gimmicky, faster, taller and different themes create unique experiences in the park. All that stuff makes the park a tourist destination. Also adding a new thrill at least every other year help keeps the locals going.
*And I do have an idea how to fix the Yeti without tearing down the mountain. It's a little out of the box, but it could work.
Nobody cares make more toaster videos
I'm pretty sure more people care about this than a freaking toaster my dude... learn to spell before you go on a rant about what others care about
Sydni Schaller I think it was more of a joke than a "rant"
It was a joke guys
Sydni Schaller what did he spell wrong exactly? Looks fine to me... maybe you should check before you use that super overused roast. And besides it’s a joke. Learn internet sarcasm before you come back.
its time to name that Toaster lol moss machince is back!
I'm normally an Intamin fangirl, but Nemesis is my favorite coaster in the world. So glad I got talked into that Alton Towers day trip when I stayed in London.
That's awesome, Nemesis is a fantastic roller coaster! :)
I really like your videos. The "Explained" videos are very good an i have learned alot of those videos.
I can se that you have many videoclips from Liseberg in Gothenburg, Sweden. Thats my home park. Have you been there?
Quality video, as usual!
Thank you :)
Great video man! This is my favorite series!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. It's a great series! ;)
B&M is one of my favorite coaster manufacturers. Montu and Kumba are some of my favorite rollercoasters
Hello There, this is a great video, thank you for explaining the origins of B&M and it's projects, it's much appreciated. Cheers Peter :)
No problem, thanks for watching! :)
@@coasterbot Hello There, you're welcome, well deserved. Cheers Peter :-)
B&M rules. Love the way they look and hold up over time.. and the howling rumble sounds they make.. Raptor and Gatekeeper are awesome.
Imagine a B&M Giga or Strata coaster with inversions, intense airtime moments, and clamshell restraints.
That'd be awesome!
I miss dueling dragons so much! They were the first roller coasters I rode way back in 8th grade in 2005! I remember I went on my 8th grade field trip to Islands of adventure and my friends and I would go on that ride over and over again. Such fun memories :)
Dueling Dragons has not been Dueling for a long time before it went though. They stopped synchronized launches when Harry Potter Land showed up.
another great video as always coasterthot!
Thank you! :)
Amazing video! I LEARNED SO MUCH!!!!!!
Thank you, that's great to hear :)
OMG THANK YOU!
Still my favorite B&Ms are the Hypers and Sit-Down ones.
Also at 14:03 Imtimidator 305 was made by Intimin am I incorrect?
That's right, Intimidator 305 was built by Intamin :)
Great video! Keep up the good work! 👍
Thank you, it means a lot :)
