My #1 inverted coaster. the speed is awesome. the inversions are awesome. everything is awesome. if you look at the stats, it wont look like a top notch coaster but the pacing and layout just make it amazing.

This is also my favorite inverted coaster. Some think I'm nuts for liking this more than Alpengeist, but Talon struck a cord in me from the very first ride. The pacing is incredible, the best on any invert I've ridden. Brilliant engineering by B&M gives you a non-stop feeling of speed. The inversions hit at just the right speed, giving you that gut-busting feeling without any headbanging. Back row is amazing on this ride, especially during the Zero-G Roll, the pocket of airtime before the corkscrew and the ground-hugging helix after the corkscrew. While Dorney Park is a decent park, Talon alone draws me back every year.

My #2 Invert. The pacing is great. It just flows. Something that rides like Alpengeist and Batman do not. This ride does not slow down at all. It is great!

Very good invert. It's fairly compact so the inversions are tighter and pretty intense, much like a Batman. The coaster has some cool ground effects and nice forces. 4/5

One of the best inverted coasters ever. I like the signs on the floor of the lift. It's my second favorite inverted after Alpengeist. B&M can't seem to make a bad inverted coaster.

One of the better B&M inverts... The best part of the ride has to be the helix after the corkscrew... sitting on the left you feel so low to the ground in the turn...

You know I don't even know where to rank this inverted coaster. It is easily in my top 3 for inverters. Ill put it in 3rd place for now. I loved it, it is glassy smooth and the speed never lets up. But one of the best things about this ride.. the sound. The supports are filled with gravel and you barely hear this ride running at all. Makes for a much better atmosphere than the older noisier B&M's like B:TR. Standing in line with older B&M's is sometimes unbearable because its so loud. But Talon runs right over your head and all you hear is people screaming. This is easily the best ride at Dorney Park. Recommend it for everyone.

Very good Invert. Very good pacing and intensity. Very thoughtfully laid out, especially with the hidden corkscrew and low to the ground helix.
