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, and two wingovers just before the final helix. It is the first B&M inverted rollercoaster to feature an overbanked curve. Unlike many other B&M coasters, Silver Bullet's track and supports are filled with sand, making it very quiet; in contrast, other B&M coasters are known for their distinct loud roar. Silver Bullet was also the first suspended-track roller coaster to implement magnetic braking.
