Favourite Manufactuer

[coastermac]

Well, Schwartzkopf isn't on the list and Is in my opinion the definition of a classic, thrilling timeless coaster. As far as I know, he set off the trend of setting records, which has been a constant thing since the 70's. I suppose I grew up with these being the generally best coasters I knew and I'm pretty sure that's been happening to people for decades.

(Woops! Had a ramble)

Oh, one of the classic questions!

1. Intamin
2. B&M (in a vary, vary close second)
3. Gravity Group

It's hard, my favourite coaster is Intamin and I love alot of B&Ms, but I am attacted to Arrow for starting the rollercoaster rave, and Vekoma have done some good, Maurer Sohne have came up with some amazing concepts :?

I'll just go for who made Expedition GeForce aaah crap, I'm a fanboy

I usually tend to say B&M in these topics but now I think Intamin takes the spot. I still love B&M and I loved Dragon Khan, Nemesis and Batman La Fuga, it just seems recently they aren't as out there as Intamin.

El Toro, Ka and Furius Baco are all amazing and Intamin's new stuff looks pretty sweet like the Mega-lites, Fahrenheit, Maverick and iSpeed etc... all look pretty awesome.

But I think this is a bit more swayed by my visit to Six Flags Great Adventure last year, Medusa was good but nothing amazing...Superman was fun but again nothing spectacular and Nitro was a bit weak but still decent. Batman was fun but I find the more I ride it the more I enjoy it but I only got 1 ride on it last year.

Voted Intamin but since people are doing lists Ill do mine

Arrow - I like their suspended and some of their looping, but their hypers SUCK, Personally I don't like marks on my body from rides

B&M - Somewhat good but really don't like most of their Inverted rides, I like their dive machines though.

GCI - Best Woodie Manufactuer, Renegade is amazing and has so many spots of airtime I litterally was out of my seat half the ride.

Gerstlauer - They are ok, my only comment is they need more room in the Eurofighter trains between people.

Gravity Group - Hades sucked, I walk with a tilt to the side for 10 minutes after I get off this ride from the pain.

CCI - Ok, no real opinions either way

Huss - Again no opinions either way.

Intamin AG - Intamin is litterally steel sex, Very smooth, Unique at times, but pleasurable no matter what.

Mack - Dark Knight was good but really the layout was meh matterial.

Maurer Sohne - Mice=meh

Pinfari - Never ridden one probably never will.

S&S Power - They make good towers?

Togo - They make the best rides to walk off and feel like you have temporary amnesia after fighting a fat guy for a hamburger.

Vekoma - I like Firehawk, and their mine rides are pretty good. Oh yeah and that really good ride they made in Orlando, I wanna say that was the best ride ever, what was its name, Mission Himilayias, oh no wait Expedition Everest, the best disney ride.

Arrow - Like Arrow a lot, they were pioneers back in the day, and even though some of their coasters can probably kill you from roughness, their layouts are always fun.

B&M - What can I say, the best coaster company in the world, no doubt about it, but I haven't really been impressed by anything they've made recently. Nothing innovative recently, just "an inverted one here, a dive machine here, a sit down here, stand up here" etc etc. To me its like, there goes another B&M coaster, and I'm sure it'll be smooth as silk, intense, exciting, and fantastic as always. But it's like, so what? Anyone else feel like this?

GCI - Meh...

Gerstlauer - Some great rides turned out by them, no complaints at all. Can't wait for Saw. But is it just me that thinks that the Eurofighter track looks a bit flimsy? I know it isn't and it's as strong as hell, but you know what I mean.

Gravity Group - Yay! No complaints here, great coasters!

CCI - ...

Huss - Not really much here tbh, not a fan.

Intamin - Brilliant, no question, nice and smooth, (these days) and very innovative and interesting.

Mack - Powered coasters!

Maurer - Great spinners, plus great X cars.

Pinfari - Portable, yes, smooth, NO!, fun, meh. All the same...

S&S - The spirit of Arrow lives on... but not really... In fact, no.

Togo - I actually like Togo, despite their roughness... can't put my finger on why I like them though...

Vekoma - Innovative, used to be rough, getting smoother, more ergonomic, etc, etc. Everyone seems to hate them, so why do I bother? :roll:
