Favorite Coaster Type and Model by Each Manufacturer

[BBH]

I can come right out and say B&M's Wing Coasters and Batman clones are the best respective models by them.

Those with a higher coaster count may have a totally different list.


In conclusion, class, my list:

B&M - Wing Coaster - Batman clones
Intamin - Impulse Coaster - V2 clones

 

[madhjsp]

I'd argue that Intamin's best products aren't their impulse coasters, but to each their own, I guess.

My take on a few of them:

B&M - Inverts
Intamin - Accelerators
Arrow - Sit-down loopers
Premier - Spaghetti bowls

 

[CookieCoasters]

Intamin: Mega Coasters
B&M: Inverted Coasters
Mack: Launch Coasters
Arrow: 4D Coasters
Vekoma: GIB Coasters
Maurer Sohne: X Car Music Coasters
Gerstlauer: Bobsled Coasters

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Intamin Accelators Or Intamin Multi loppers
B&M Multi loopers or B&M Inverts
I can't pick!

 

[caffeine_demon]

that's 2 from each!!

Intamin - airtime machine!
b and m - oh, they're all good
vekoma - mine train + rnrc


The words pot, kettle and black are springing to mind here....

Very hard for B&M I feel, only been on one B&M Hyper (Shambhala) but I absolutely loved it an want to go on more to compare. Never been on a bad B&M invert nor one of the 3 dive machines has been bad.
B&M - Dive Machine
Intamin - Accelerator
Gerstlauer - Eurofighter
Vekoma - Mine Train
Arrow - Mine Train

 

[TilenB]

well from those I've ridden:

Arrow - 4th dimensions (actually the only one)
B&M - Flyers or Inverters
Intamin - Blitz coasters
Mack - launcher, by far
Vekoma - GIBs

 

[Hyde]

B&M - Inverted
Intamin - Accelerator
Arrow - Hyper
Morgan - Hyper
Premier - LIM launch
Gerstlauer - Eurofighter
Schwarzkopf - Mind Bender (custom model?)
Vekoma - anything they do for Disney

And consider Wooden coaster type doesn't vary, but ride designs and train designs do:

Wooden - GCI layouts, GCI Millennium Flyer Trains.

B&M - Flyer
Gerstlauer - Eurofighter (Kataplektor <3)
Intamin - Plug N' Play Woodie

Vekoma - Custom Minetrain (in other words...)

 

[andrus]

Intamin - Megacoaster
B&M - Invert
Vekoma - GIB
Maurer Söhne - Spinning coaster
Mack - Indoor coaster
Gerstlauer - Bobsled

Intamin- anything airtimey. That way, El Toro counts.
B&M- Inverts. But I have 3 of those creds and only one mega, a while ago too.
Morgan- the ride types are too varied, I can't pick.
Woodies: NOT counting El Toro as wood, GCI's are schmexy
Vekoma- not really enough to judge, but I like the SLC's, so...hmm.
Arrow- every single one of them except Tennessee Tornado and Maggie XL can go die.

Morgan- the ride types are too varied, I can't pick.

Why don't I simplify it for you:

Hyper or the only single Mine Train the company has ever produced? :wink:

 

[TilenB]

^ plus the coaster on Santa Monica pier

 

[Hyde]

How that would make your favorite coaster type, Lord only knows.

 

[Xpress]

For me it's got to be GCI's. CCI/GG rides don't quite do it for me like a smooth flowing GCI does.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I'm guessing here, but here it goes.

Intamin- Wooden Coasters and Mega Coasters

Gerstlauer- Eurofighter

B&M- Hyper Coasters

Morgan- Hyper Coasters

Mack- Mega Coaster (Launch)

S&S Power- 4th Demension

Vekoma- Flying Dutchman or Disney Mine Trains
