Every coaster manufacture has made disappointments, Vekoma will forever be tarnished because of the cookie cutter SLC's. The Disney chain has 4 Big Thunder Mountain Railroads with only 2 of them being built by Vekoma. the one at Disneyland Resort that Derailed was built by Dynamic Structures. The cause ended up being from improper maintenance on Disney's behalf.

I didn't know Disney wasn't a major chain in and outside the U.S.

your point is? B&M builds a lot of coasters and hasn't done anything innovative since the 90's everything we have seen of recent has already been done successfully by another manufacture decade ago.

Looked down upon? majority of Disney's coasters are Vekoma's including their newest addition Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

Those elephants have it better than most people, a 200 acre home with the circus spending 65k per elephant.

it's called a headchopper effect.

avoid Intimidator 305, you might catch Intaminitis.

A Sky roller by Gerstlauer Would be a awesome addition to the park.

If Kings Island gets a giga hopefully it's a Intamin instillation. I'd rather have KI skip on the oversized Diamondback.

I heard about this on the news.. <a href="http://s362.photobucket.com/user/x241/media/image.jpg1_2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo63/x241/image.jpg1_2.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image.jpg1_2.jpg"/></a>

I think a small restaurant on the 50ft observation deck on the Eiffel Tower would be awesome.

The GP have spoken. <a href="http://s362.photobucket.com/user/x241/media/image.jpg1_1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo63/x241/image.jpg1_1.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image.jpg1_1.jpg"/></a> Photo taken with potato

If there is to be an coaster addition hopefully it's not a B&M dive coaster. If it happens to be a B&M ( 99.5% chance ). A B&M flyer would make a better fit in the current coaster lineup than a dive coaster. In my opinion CP's biggest hole would be a wooden coaster. If they do plan to build a woodie. GCI, The Gravity Group or Intamin would make a great wooden coaster addition.

The OP did ask for which manufacture i'd prefer and reasons/opinions why. So here something i gotta ask you, You Mad Bro?

Intamin produce a better ride, B&M has better reliability. The only reason Intamin has reliability issues is due to the fact the amount of force those rides produce, creating a lot of wear and tear on them. There are a lot of Intamin rides that are not accounted for when operating as far as reliability. As far as safety, I've seen countless times where oversized people being forced into the restraints on countless coasters of different manufacturers which is a An accident waiting to happen. luckily for B&M since majority of their rides do not produce alot of force no one has been ejected from their coasters. Can't say the same for Intamin even tho it's inexcusable for Intamin. Recently Cedar Fairs has addressed that safety issue on it's B&M lineup. The seatbelt system we see on Diamonback main purpose is so if you cannot fit the seatbelt system you cannot ride. This is so ride ops no longer try to squeeze you in the lap bar system like the did previously, which runs the risk of an accident. I would love to see another Intamin instillation at Kings Island, Especially a Giga Coaster. Every time I see pictures of Millenium Force or I305 I get jelly bro.

Wifi at the new Starbucks is going to be great, im definitly bringing my laptop to Kings Island. I will be able to do all of my work from home at Kings Island and eat my 2 meals a day from season dining plan and during my breaks hit up a couple rides. Wonderful!

Meanstreak does not need RMC treatment, there is a lack of wooden coasters at Cedar Point If anything they should replace it with another woodie.

Cedar Fair did a coaster conversion with mantis a B&M standup that will be a floorless coaster here in a couple months.

I lost my iPhone last year at Kings Island, used my friends iPhone and tracked it, it was on the move. It went from the festhaus to Banshee. ( I rode Banshee earlier that day). I walked into the Banshee exit while having it play sound. asked the ride op about the phone and they ended up having it. I have no idea how it ended up out of my pocket. Or ended up at the festhaus at one point. I'm happy I got it back tho.

For rollercoaster addition id like to see a b&m floorless or a Intamin giga. ( Not a floorless 300ft B&M. ) for flats I'd would love to see an enterprise, Ferris wheel, or a trabant since Coney Island made the poor decision of removing theirs. As for Soak City I'd like to see more slides, or better yet a water coaster.

Not that the cost of a 30 million dollar oversized Diamondback had anything to do with this. Hint : FURY 325

a fly over x base would be pretty cool, would definitely play in with the theming.
