yournamehere Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 What is your favorite roller coaster company? I am a fan of B&M and Intamin but when it comes down to it I perfer Intamin. How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecoaster Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 What is your favorite roller coaster company? I am a fan of B&M and Intamin but when it comes down to it I perfer Intamin. How about you? Hands down Intamin for steel and Gravity Group for wood. The Voyage alone is reason enough to make them number one. That they could build such a kick a$$ world class wooden coaster for 1/3 of what SOB cost is yet another reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I like Intamin best, B&M is good but most B&M's are too alike. Why isn't GCI, Gravity Group, S&S, Giovanola, Schwarzkopf, or Arrow Dynamics on the poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 B&M because I have never been on one I didn't like. Although Intamin is very close. Still classic Arrow Mutliloopers with poor transitions hold a place in my heart. Drachen Fire anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 For me, it's too hard to pick between B&M and Intamin. Both Intamin and B&M have a good percent of the top steel coasters in the world. Besides the reliability of TTD, I really loved CP's Intamin coasters. They all seemed smooth and well put together, which is what B&M is also known for. I choose Intamin based solely on the fact that I've been on more of their coasters. What is your favorite roller coaster company?

fryler87 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yeah, this list is a little short...how about Arrow? Gravity Group? Schwarzkopf? I'm personally a huge fan of RCCA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChase Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I chose B&M. I like their layouts, looks, and four across seating. They seem to be more photogenic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welchce Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That would be Premier. They are actually on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormaster Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Its either B&M or Arrow Dynamics. B&M has definitly made some awesome rides I've been on, and I've always loved Suspended coasters. I really don't understand why Kings Island never got one. I also like B&M's standups, as Chang was definitly the best standup I've ever rode. However I love the classic "Custom looping coaster" that Arrow makes, so thats why I also am putting them on the list. Its really sad to see that Arrow is gone from the industry, and even more sad to see parks tear down their Arrow custom loopers, ie "Drachen Fire" from Busch Gardens, and "Shockwave" from Six Flags Great America. When I rode Shockwave in 1994, I honestly thought it was the best looping coaster I had ever been on, and I was pretty upset when I found out Six flags tore it down to put in...well a B&M flyer, which I've never been on so I can't judge it, but from what I've read they should of just tore down the Whizzer instead. As for KI, Vortex is my favorite ride and I don't think that will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The original plan was to remove Whizzer, which is the last of its kind in the USA and remains endangered. Only loud public outcry saved it. As for Arrow custom looping steel coasters...all indications that more will be disappearing....soon.

Cormaster Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 As for Arrow custom looping steel coasters...all indications that more will be disappearing....soon. I really don't understand why, I think they are are classics, and when I think "roller coaster" its the first thing that pops in my head. I just hope KI doesn't have any current plans to dismantle The Vortex, and if they do I hope a B&M "sitdown coaster" (For whatever reason RCDB calls B&M custom looping coaster B&M Sitdown coaster), with the same color scheme and similar name replaces it.
