Dive coasters
A held moment on a vertical edge, then a steep release — signature B&M dive machines.
Floorless coasters
No floor panel under your feet — open views and a different sense of exposure.
Flying coasters
You start seated, then tilt face-down into a flying position for much of the circuit.
Inverted coasters
Trains hang beneath the track so your feet dangle — B&M made the style famous.
