April 15, 20197 yr If its a floorless coaster, my only real request is that it starts off with a jojo roll. I wonder if B&M can put the newer restraints a la Banshee on a floorless.

I wish we had more coasters like it across the country.

May 25, 20197 yr ^No. Not technically. Its still offered in their catalog (https://www.bolliger-mabillard.com/), and a brand new one opened as recently as 2013 in India. Its just that no park since then has asked for one, or the price was not right... This would also be true of stand-ups. They'd still make one if asked, but hasn't been for 20 years nows (and for good reason).

Most parks have either converted to a floor less from a standup or have already built one (at least in the US). I could see them retiring standup coasters though.
