I love Batman: the Ride, but I vote for Raging Bull because it's larger.

Not anymore. ;) I love Raging Bull's first drop. It's one of my favorite first drops along with Maverick and Diamondback. However, that's the only part of the ride that I really find thrilling. The rest of the ride is very enjoyable but nothing over the top, and I'm fine with that.

Bull will always be a solid coaster in my books, but it's not my favorite B&M at the park. I really like X-Flight because it's smooth and has some cool elements such as the first drop and the control tower fly through. I also tend to get dizzy and sick on rides with a lot of inversions but X-Flight is the exception.

Raging Bull wins for me due to the fact that I so closely associate the park and that particular ride, more so than any other ride. Ask me to define SFGAm, and RB comes up as one definition. Yes of course there's the Eagle, but I'd say (for me at least), the icons of RB and Eagle are equally defining.

Despite all its shortcomings (including the frequent trimming), RB still brings out a lot of big memories more than other rides. My *experience* with the ride has been such that it outweighs its "quantitative" negatives.

Well, this is embarrassing. As of right now I am the only person who is a Batman fan! Lol.
When you get to the top, and you hear that click, you better hang on, because your coming down quick!

I chose XFlight.

I love every B&M in the park but I was an oddball cause AE Red was my favorite coaster in the park until 2012 ;D XFlight just makes me feel free. I love its direction changes, open-ness, how smooth it is with a little bounce etc etc, I could rant but I simply love it.

Raging Bull is the longest and most worth the wait. However X-Flight is the best for being so unique. The hang time on the first drop in front row. :P Superman just has the worst capacity, resulting in lines that aren't worth it. Batman is a close second, just hairs before Raging Bull. 8)

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

I voted for Batman. I'm actually pretty surprised to see it in third, I figured it would at least beat X Flight.

Batman for me. B&M got it right on their first try. Every park should have one of these, and if they already do, they should get another one anyway.

I thought Iron Wolf was the first B&M. Or are you talking about the Inverted coasters as a category? :?

I accidentally voted for Raging Bull but my actual favorite B&M is Batman. Here's my ranking:

1. Batman: Classic, sustained intensity, the epitome of short but sweet.
2. Raging Bull: A great ride in the back with the best first drop in the park. Loses points for the trim brake.
3. X-Flight: I like it probably more than I should, but I get a kick of of this ride. Love the first drop and the keyhole.
4. Superman: Immensely overrated bore.
