^Then at that point, it would compare more to Magnum XL-200 than MF considering type of ride.

You have a point, but Bull and Millie are only 1 year different in age, whereas magnum and Bull are 10. Plus B&M hadn't even made their 1st coaster in 89. With only 1 year difference, both companies would have had similiar technology to design the rides in the 1st place. That's why I would consider Bull and Millie to be similiar. I've heard CP offered B&M the contarct first to build Millie, buy they turned them down.

You are saying about B&M and Intamin, and comparing them to being boring or not.

Well for me, B&M boring rides are I've been on are:

Sheikra
Raging Bull
Talon

Not Boring to me are
Superman Ultimate Flight
Iron Wolf
Chang
Montu
Hydra
Riddler's Revenge
Batman the Ride
Goliath at SFOG
Diamondback at Kings Island
Raptor
Kumba
Scream!


Intamin Boring Rides are

Millenium Forceless
Superman the Escape (Magic Mountain)

Not Boring Rides are:

La Vibora / Rolling Thunder
Top Thrill Dragster
Superman: Ride of Steel (SFA)
V2 / Steel Venom / Wicked Twister
Disaster Transport (though not a great ride like La Vibora or Rolling Thunder in my opinion)
Maverick (barely a good ride because of "Mr. Freeze" part, but I will have to ride it again.)

For me, there are a lot more B&M rides I've been on than Intamin, so naturally B&M would have more boring rides because they make more I've been on.

It looks like you like rides that have intensity to them. I'm surprised Maverick doesn't rank very high with you. I found that ride to be the most intense from start to finish that I have been on and I love it's length. I'll be on it again next week, so perhaps my opinion will change.........I have found that closing my eyes usually makes a coaster more intense. I will be riding with a blind gentleman next week and I wanted to feel what his perspective is like...........You just have different tastes, that's all.
