Flug der Daemonen surely has a fun twisty and disorienting layout. It is mostly graceful and soft, but also has a couple of intense moments. The tight vest restraints did reduce my enjoyment of the ride though.

Desert Race has a nice hydraulic boost. However the airtime, while enjoyable, is not intense enough for liking and the layout need more variety and force to be truly on par with other Intamin accelerators.

I had several rides on Apollo's Chariot - including one in the night - and they were all a bit underwhelming. The airtime is very soft and the ride as a whole lacks G-forces from my experience. Still though, this hypercoaster uses the terrain very well and does have a couple of good moments.

Tatsu is a great coaster and a perfect fit to SFMM. People always seem to dislike flyers for whatever reason, people on the american east coast in particular, and I really don't see that. I've done two flyers so far, (Tatsu and SFGADV'S Superman) and by far Tatsu is better. Unlike those people on the east coast however, i've ridden both and can safely assume B&M Flyers are excellent rides. Anyways, after you pass by all the Takis ads, get ready to conquer the dragon. Go up the lifthill and crest into this fun, twisting drop. You feel just like a bird when you do that front row and I love it every time. Soar into thi GIANT overbank around the sky tower and go through the first of many inversions. Now this inversion isn't too intense like an invert's but i can forgive it since it's a flyer and not supposed to be amazingly intense until you know what element. Do more of these types of inversions and such, each being really fun and then... it's here. The PRETZEL LOOP! This element is just INSANE and the G's rain down on you like Oregon in the Springtime. After that, this next spot is a little dead as it slows down out of that insanity a few seconds ago. Do another inversion and bank over the park entrance which is really neat. Dip down once more, aaaannnd brakes. And then you are in amazement. If you're an east coaster you think "WOAH! Flyers ARE good!" (hopefully). Overall, Tatsu is truly a fun and graceful ride that gets overhated by east coasters. If you're in town, ride this and just maybe you'll appreciate flyers more.

Apollo's Chariot is a ride i'm totally a fan of. I went back and forth on if nitro or apollo is better and yeah, it's the weaker of those two. It's still tons of fun though. You crest the lift and go into this weird straight section of track and away you go! The drop is fun all the way down and then you reach the bottom. Sadly, there is a rattle down there and its a really noticeable one too. Go into this decent floater hill and then go into this dissapointing hill/turn which dosen't really do anything. Go into a mediocre helix and drop again. Now this is where apollo gets good. These little hills on the way back don't look like much but HOLY CRAP AIRTIME. There's actually some ejector here too. After the great bit that is the bunny hillls, go into the brakes. Apollo seems flipped to me. Normally the front is the highlight section and the back isn't. Well here, it's a little different. Overall, Apollo is one of the weaker B&M hypers but even so, it's great. It's past it's prime for sure, but Apollo still has some left in the tank and deleviers a fun experience.
Nitro i would consider a pretty solid hyper. It's got tons of floater air and it's really smooth as well. It may get overshadowed by it's godly wooden...
Nitro i would consider a pretty solid hyper. It's got tons of floater air and it's really smooth as well. It may get overshadowed by it's godly wooden neighbor but Nitro certainly is a fun ride. The drop is pretty good, more air on it than Apollo or SFMM Goliath. Then you go through these massive floater hills which are tons of fun. The hammerhead turn is pretty interesting as well and gets some decent force. More hills and then the Helix. Now this helix is intense. I was shocked by it. After this, there's more of these bunny hills and then you go into the brakes. Overall, Nitro is pretty damn good. Maybe it needs a little more vareity in it's layout but it does everything else pretty well. Give this awesome B&M a whirl.
