Yes, most of B&M coasters are outstanding, even the newer versions that put the riders outside the track.

Never road that one, but Alpengiest is a very good one which is at Busch Gardens, Virginia.

Yeah, and unlike Batman, the Barrel Roll element is near the end of the ride.

No, but I'm not sure it is. I thought Dragon Khan in Spain was. It's maximum height is 148 ft with 8 inversions with a top speed of 68 mph. But it's longest drop is 161 ft. Alpengiest, I believe has only 6 and a few feet shorter. But fill me in if I am wrong. I know it's shorter than Griffon which is over 200 ft.

actually, alpengeist has 7 inversions. and its 197 feet tall, 3 feet short of being called a hyper coaster (over 200 feet tall).

Let's see, if I recalled, I rememebered going into an Elmerman loop dive after the banked drop, then into a vertical loop, then into the boomerang, then up with a few curves into the brakes, then into the 540* barrel roll then into a single corkscrew, then back into the loading station after a banked curve. That only covers 6 inversions. But perhaps I need to ride it again.
Again it's not the height but the drop. You remember Steel Phantom? It was 160 ft tall but it's drop was 225 feet before it was scrapped and replace with a boring coaster.
