Most Promising Manufacturers for the Future

Eh, matter of opinion on if B&Ms are bs or not. Intamin has yet to really WOW me with anything, Maverick being the best one Ive ridden so far (8th place in my top 10 steel). The other 4 ive ridden werent up to expectation and were downright boring (bar Steel Venom. Loved the stop on the back end tower <3). B&M has always delivered, no matter what Ive ridden. The worst Beemer ive ridden would be Mantis due to the bike seats, and that is it. That is a highly forceful ride that gets overlooked.

Im hoping that after I visit Hershey Park, Intamin may have a better standing to me, but as of right now, they dont dye to lots of small errors they may have overlooked (too lazy to be arsed about it).

Switching between the hideouts'...
 
I'd like to see Gerstlauer building more coasters in the future, their Euro Fighter has really taken off and they're being built all over the place. Nobody seems to have mentioned their Wooden Coaster 'Mammut' at Tripsdrill, a great mid sized woodie, it has speed, airtime and a comfortable ride.
GCI build great wooden coasters but I think they're limited as to innovations in the future, I can only see them building similar rides to their existing installations. The Gravity Group on the other hand seem more daring in their designs, if they perfect their Timberliner design I think they will be one of (if not) the best coaster manufacturers out there. Even the tiny Wooden Warrior seems to have great airtime with a top speed of 35mph! I can see many more of these smaller coasters being built around the world

What about Giovanola? Haven't they been quiet since 2008? I hope to see new prototypes from them.

I'd be surprised if they did come out with anything new, considering that they don't exist anymore... :?
 
S&S looks promising, but as long as B&M and Intamin keep cranking out new concepts, they're here to stay.
 
To be honest with you, I think all of the best manufacturers we have today are so different it'd be impossible for me to come to a conclusion.
 
I'd like to see S&S come out with some new and interesting stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. I believe they could break through if they just brought out a new concept (or if their compressed air coasters could be utilized more).

In terms of which company is most promising, I think Gravity Group for sure. They are still (relatively) small although they have done some huge projects. I know they have tons in store for us and I have complete confidence that they will continue to floor us for years to come. Along the same lines, with wooden coasters, I think GCI have great potential to keep improving.

And I am always in support of Intamin, although they are already way up there with the likes of B&M so (as much as offer right now) I think they have less "potential" but definitely a solid market share which will allow them to continue producing quality coasters. I do hope to see them come out with a completely new concept soon though (new adaptation is fine too), just more than a slight rearranging of seats or layout of track.
 
I think maurer sohne because of their x-car coasters, and they are developing a new kind of floorless coaster- and they have a couple of good coasters like venus, Hrrr,Shock the steam machine etc. and zierer with vervolten
