It seems that the Intamin virus has became a growing epidemic that shows up everywhere. Am I the only one here who expects to see a post about Intamin every time I read a thread?

Everybody talks about the best. You even make a thread about intamin.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!!!

Not another one.

But Intamin is pretty awesome...

When open.

I've seem to have come down with a virus then.

Come on son of baconator lets go ride maverick.

SoB: I would rather ride mantis, its reliable.

No sorry. I'm not going to waste my time waiting in line just to find out the ride has broken down. I learned that last year at Busch gardens

You hear a lot about Intamin since they're in the news with all of the accidents.

Itis after anything just means inflamed usually...dunno how this fits haha

Seems to have infected darn near every forum topic. Seems to me those who ONLY want to discuss INTAMIN need their own forii, or at least a category here. Then, unless it is DIRECTLY relevant, the INTAMIN chatter would not be tolerated elsewhere.

I remember back when very, very few people here knew much or cared much about steel coaster manufacturers. I suspect most here still don't.

Intamin: The next Son of Beast.

In all technicality you are right. I remember when every thread went to SOB. I even made a meme about it, but now it doesn't correlate anymore.

0-Intamin, in one post or more

When was the last Intamin built?

This crap is quickly becoming reason enough to give up this site for a while. I'm not that convicted in any direction for coaster manufacturers, and the people who persistently are and the people who defend their right to do so are only doing so to be irritating at this point. The epidemic of Son of Beast posts wasn't nearly as annoying.

One has to wonder what interest these people have in a fan forum for Kings Island, a park with no Intamin coasters and a management with a clear intent to install no Intamin coaster anytime soon.

Last Intamin was built this year; looks like a prototype : http://rcdb.com/10044.htm

Also for next year, Falcon's Fury, Zumanjaro, unnamed intamin coaster #1 at Cinecitta World, unnamed intamin coaster #2 at Cinecitta World, Travel Through Europe at Romon World. As far as B&M, Heide Park's wingcoaster, and Banshee.

I highly doubt ki's management team has a say in anything besides labor scheduling.

Is that in one of those Chinese ghost cities?

The only interest they have in this site is to upset those that are upset. Seeing this post has completely made their day and they are walking around their mothers basement with their heads held high.

Want it to go away? Ignore it.

Whether KI management or CF management makes those decisions is irrelevant. Don has explicitly said that no Intamins will be built at KI in the foreseeable future. Nobody in any management team--especially when dealing with the public--just shoots out a statement like that on the fly. It's a calculated decision by the folks that matter, whoever that may be.

This brings me back to my original thought, which you so conveniently sidestepped: what motivation is there to persistently discuss Intamin on a fan site for an amusement park that has no Intamin coasters, no plans to add an Intamin coaster, and no rides that you consider worth more than two laps on?

I like both b&m and intamin sorry for bad spelling but if i had to choose one it would be b&m

If your worried about spelling Intamin wrong you did fine, but I'm sure they would apreiciate you capitalizing Intamin.

B&M is should also be capitalized.

If you're ever in doubt about how to spell remember Intamin is short for International Amusement Industry.

I have an idea. Let's take all the Intamin vs. B&M discussion, and push it over here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27897-intamin-or-b-m/

Honestly, as much I love a good, heated argument about manufactural preference, I think we really should try to be more responsible in where and when to argue about it.

EDIT: This thread is also appropriate!

As much as the b&m crowd thinks their squeeky clean they take their more than fair share of jabs toward Intamin just to be doing it.

Or just not argue about it at all...

Where is the B&Mitis thread? I see just as much B&M talk as INTAMIN talk.

And, quite frankly, I think more people on here have B&Mitis than INTAMINitis.

Typical symptoms of B&Mitis are rational thoughts and cohesive arguments that take into account all of the facts about both manufacturers.

Typical symptoms of Intaminitis are blind arguments based on only one small aspect of the manufacturers, failing to consider (or outright ignoring) much more important facts, and refusal to listen to reason.

You tell me which one a person is more likely to find annoying and thus which one more people will complain about.

^

You obviously suffer from b&mitis.

^ Yes, I do. And you suffer from Intaminitis. Now re-read my previous post and tell me why having B&Mitis is a problem. Oh, wait: it's because you have Intaminitis and are therefore unable to comprehend rational arguments, like the one above.

I feel sorry for you.

Some people must have more severe cases than others.

I'm sick of people ON BOTH SIDES failing to even acknowledge what the other side is saying and blindly making ignorant statements while trying to justify themselves and their preferences.

I'll leave it at that and head for the door on this topic.

Who made the exit? Is it thrilling? Is it functioning? Does it lead downtown?
