I've heard of Orochi, the Raptor clone in Japan, but I saw on RCDB that there are 2 B&M inverted coasters in Japan that I had never heard of, Gambit and Diavlo. Can anyone tell me anything about these rides?

Also, how about Pyrenees in Spain?

Gambit and Diavlo are B:TR clones. Miribilanda is not a Raptor clone, in fact, it's not even a coaster. Miribilanda (home of Katun, no clone) is a park in Italy, so you're waaay off. :D Orochi is the Raptor clone. Pyrenees is not in Spain, it's at a park called Parque Espana-Shima Spain Village, which is in Japan. I hope that clears stuff up.

From what I have seen of Pyreness it looks like the best invert out there. Has anyone been on it? If so can you give a review?

Thanks for your help. Diavlo and Gambit are B:TR clones? Their stats are somewhat different, with one being slightly taller and shorter in length than the first B:TR, and the other being slightly shorter (height) and longer than SFGAM. Well, i guess slight changes would be expected from clone to clone.

Anyone been on these rides?

Diavlo at Central Park is the Standard Batman

Gambit at Thrill Valley (Not Gotemba Family Land any more, The park shut down and reopened as part of a local shopping centre) is actually a mirror of the batmans.

Pyrenees is my favorite looking B&M and really does look incredible with the tight helix and air time hill included

Where is the airtime hill on Pyrennes? I've recreated this one in RCT, but with no airtime hill. As far as my knowledge goes, the coaster's layout goes like this:
[List][*]180* drop to the right[*]vertical loop[*]zero-g roll[*]vertical loop[*]90* turn to the left[*]cobra roll[*]90* ascending turn to the right[*]360* upward helix through the second vertical loop[*]brake run[*]corkscrew to the right[*]180* turn to the left[*]???airtime hill???[*]540* downward helix[*]brakes[/List]
Is that where it is?

Hey

Check these pics out

No 540* helix im afraid
But the air hill is kind of visable

[img]http://ft.coasterwire.com/bm/pyrene1.gif[/img]
The airtime hill can bee seen jumping the que line behind the rest of the track in this shot if you look carefully

[img]http://ft.coasterwire.com/bm/pyrene7.jpg[/img]
the airtime hill can be seen over the top of the que. very nicely positioned.

hope that helps

wow that airtime hill looks so sweet

Wait, I never noticed that airtime hill before! Arg! Now I'm gonna have to work on my recreation in NL again. I thought that part was a brake run. Darn. This really gets me down. I'll do that over the summer. Prepare for the coolest Pyrenees recreation ever! :D

LOL Chip. Hey they say the third time is a charm lol. Good luck on making it for your third time. Anyways, pyrennes and katun look like two of the coolest inverts out there. I'd love to be able to ride them sometime.

Yeah I agree! Pyrenees looks like a very intense and fun inverted...the best looking B&M inverted out there...The Giovanola Anaconda doesn't look all that bad either...

Why did we never hear anythign about Pyrenees? I've never heard about it until this thread. It looks absolutely wonder and really does justice to the B&M inverts out there.

No...why haven't YOU ever heard of Pyrenees. I've known about the Japanese inverteds for quite awhile now, and I'm sure many others on these boards have too...

We can always count on Roomraider to pull through with the pictures and stats. Thanks

Although it isn't in Japan, here's another wicked looking B&M foreign inverted - [b]Katun[/b], the lift hill and drop pictured below are 164', and 147'
