I've never been on either type, so i'm on the fence, what do you guys think? Intamin Mega, or B&M Speed?

This is a good debate. Intamins usually go for all out speed whereas B&M's are more for hills and airtime. I am a fan of the beemers but intamins are right up there. I just think nitro is genious, that is why i picked the beemers. This is kinda like choosing a favorite child, i don't know if this debate is possible.

I haven't ridden Either but if i had a choice , I would definitely Choose Intamin. Ive only heard good things about them, and Intamin is my fav. when it comes to coasters.

You wouldn't have either if it wasn't for Arrow. I vote Arrow.

B&M Hypers = Smooth and fun, but they're nearly forceless, weak, and don't have much air time. Even though they go for several attempts at air time, you don't get much because of the slow speed. The overall feeling of speed is pretty slow, too.

Intamin Hypers = Fast, intense, strong forces, lots of air time, and a good feeling of speed.

B&M hypers are OK, but to me, they could almost be called "Family hyper coasters."

It's got to be the B&M. Although, the Intamin's and their speeds are fun if you enjoy blacking out. But, the B&M's are just balanced and all around cool.

The Morgan hypers are the worst.

I still BRAKE for Kraken.

B&M hypers. Apollo's Chariot is one of the greatest coasters in the world. I'm planning to check out Nitro next season.

Intamin all the way. Anyone who's been on Superman: Ride of Steel (SFNE) or Expidition GeForce (Holiday Park) would almost have to agree. Those two coasters are as close to perfection as a coaster can get. I'm not saying that the B&Ms are bad, infact I'm a huge fan of Apollo's Chariot at BGW, I'm just saying that the Intamin hypers just keep getting better and better as Intamin learns all the tricks to making the perfect ride. I think part of the problem, at least for me, in the B&M is the weak first drop (never steep enough) and I'm just not a fan of seating four across on a hyper, you just seem to loose some of the feeling of speed.

Haven't been on either, but if I had a choice, Intamin. I'll take all-out speed and intensity over smoothness and airtime.

I've never been on a B&M hyper so my vote goes to Intamin. Well actually it was an Intamin giga, not hyper. Millennium Force is my #1 coaster for 2 years so far.

Overall I would say Beemers. The only Intamin I've been on, MF, would most likely get very repetitive after 10 or so rides.

No it wouldn't. Anyway, no Beema hypers for me so I picked Intamin. Also, has anyone noticed how spaced out the bunny hills are on Apollo's Chariot? I think that's a waste of speed. (I've been to BGW, but was only 9 and was to scared to ride anything, Apollo's Chariot wasn't there, but i've seen pictures of it)

I think I would have to say Intamin. I would probably have to say that Intamin is my fav. coaster company as well, although B&M certainly has the best coasters in the world when it comes to inverts (and probably others...but I've only been on their inverts ).

Ive only been on one B&M Hyper, and that was Nitro, and i wasnt impressed with it. I would have to say Intamin from what ive been on.

out of all B&M and intamin hypers, the only ones i've been on are nitro and raging bull. nitro is an amazing ride, my #1 coaster and raging bull is ok, not too great. intamin hypers do look a lot better. (mainly s:ros @sfne and goliath.
