I too enjoyed the Vekomo Flyer (X-Flight). I think I have to give Superman the nod though. Vekoma's are much longer and have more variety....and you really have to love being flipped 110 feet above ground for the first time, but B&M is more comfortable, smoother, and the pretzel loop...its something I've been waiting for for a while (a variation of the downward loop I put in a lot of my No Limits rides). The one thing though...I didn't get bruises from X-Flight and today, my collar bone area is quite bruised. I assume its from Superman since that is the only restraint that hit that area...though it could be from Demon or Iron Wolf. If it was Superman though, I suppose 8 rides will do that to you. I only had 2 on X-Flight. At least I wasn't in the group that got stuck in the brakes for nearly 20 minutes....though, I probably would have thought it was fun
