Silver Bullet is a B&M inverted coaster that opened in 2004 at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. It features 6 inversions including a vertical loop, cobra roll, zero-g roll, corkscrew and another corkscrew just before the final helix. It is the first B&M inverted rollercoaster to feature an overbanked curve, making Silver Bullet one of the most unique inverted coasters in the world. The smooth ride is a characteristic of all Bolliger & Mabillard-built roller coasters.
