| | | Spark - The Knight: B&M inverted speed coaster
Here's an experimental coaster, a B&M inverted hyper with no inversions! And it has no MCBR's! It's excitement is a bit low due to lack of inversions, but hey this is an experimental coaster! Also, how would you rate on its transition from RCT to NoLimits?

| | | Ummm Okaaaaay, That is realy weird. I mean, what is the point of an inverted coaster with no inversions? I am sorry but I would have to say that if that coaster were in real life it would be soooooo boring. If you have ever been on an inverted coaster, you would know that it offers almost NO airtime at all, so making a hyper inverted is really pointless (since hypers are all about airtime, and inverts have no airtime at all...... get my point?). The entire exitment of inverts is getting awesome positive g's and going upside down, that is why that coasters exitment is so low. |

| | | And if you would so kindly switch the measurements on RCT to imperial, you would find that the drop is 183 feet, just a little bit short of a hyper. It was kinda weird, but it was experimental, however you made it on no limits, which is more than I can say.

| | | I "rode" it a few times. Seeing as how it lacks in the inversions purposely left out. I'd say keep hypers for your traditional sitdown coasters with the track beneath you.

| | | I tried to make an Inverted Out and Back hyper a long while ago and got a 7.03 excitement without themeing. I figured that no air-time would work with the under the track OTSRs so i ended my career of Inverted Hypers at that.
