Most Ridden Manufacturer

[Inverse]

I was just think about those statistics Roomraider posted a while back and how Vekoma built 30% (or thereabouts) of coasters in the world. This got me wondering how this worked out practically for the CF community.

So, go through your coaster count and tell us which manufacturer's rides have you ridden most of?

 

[furie]

Without even thinking - Pinfari.

I have at least ten Big Apples, several Dragons, then all those Loopers and Cyclones? I just can't see any other manufacturer coming close to be honest.

 

[ECG]

I have no idea, but it sure as hell isn't Pinfari! You're just a credit whore deep down inside furie. :lol:
I'll have to go through my list when I get a few free hours. :roll:
I would guess B&M, but then you're always welcome to go through my list & figure it out for me Inverse. :wink:

 

[Inverse]

^You'll notice that I haven't voted yet... this is because I'm still going through mine to work it out myself! And I only got 78.

 

[caffeine_demon]

SADDO ALERT - mine is vekoma with 36

(oh the joys of having an access database!!)

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Its gotta be Intamin, Arrow, or B&M.. But I'm not counting .

 

[furie]

Yep, around 15% of my count is Pinfari.

I have to say, more than half of those were BEFORE I became an enthusiast

Around 8% of my count is B&M. It looked good counting from the US coasters back to Europe, then it took a nose dive
Only 5% of my count is Intamin
6% is Zierer :lol:
A lucky for me 7% Vekoma
Poor 5% Schwartzkopf
Finally 5% Arrow.

All the others are mixes of other firms and single rides (mostly wood) without a manufacturer.

How very interesting

 

[nadroJ]

My coaster count spreadsheet is on the home computer, but I'd probably say Pinfari too, damn those delicious Big Apples!

 

[Lucy]

Mine's Mack - mainly due to the coasters at Europa Park although it's closely followed by Intamin and B&M.

 

[Inverse]

Vekoma for me. Arrow was in the lead before I went to Flamingo Land and Fantasy Island last year! Pinfari comes home with the bronze.

Vekoma - 9
Arrow - 7
Pinfari - 6
Mack - 5
Maurer - 5
B&M - 5
Intamin - 5
Gerstlauer - 4
CCI - 4

This year I am going to Europa Park. So i'll expect to see Mack fly up the list.

Without even thinking - Pinfari.

I have at least ten Big Apples, several Dragons, then all those Loopers and Cyclones? I just can't see any other manufacturer coming close to be honest.

Snap and I have a feeling it will be the same for a lot of people.

Then its probably Mack.

 

[Inverse]

Vote on the poll, then. Pinfari have 0 atm.

 

[furie]

Ahhhh, but...

a) I don't vote on the polls
b) I don't do what people tell me to do
c) I have more "other" than Pinfari... It's just that they're ALL other, not another of a different single manufacturer - this confused me into not making a vote as I wasn't sure if you meant most of your count was a different single other manufacturer or if you could just lump all the "others" into a single category of other.

Oh,

 

[Inverse]

heheh.

I understand your "other" confusion. I intended it to be used as other individual manufacturer. Some people might have ridden every Reverchon spinning mouse in existence! Or maybe someone in Japan has done a lot of Togos.

 

[Tomatron]

There's no way it's anything but Pinfari. I've ridden about 30-something of their Big Apples. :lol:

 

[A-Kid]

I did a tally.

Intamin - //////// 8
B&M - ////// 6
GG - / 1
Arrow - ///////// 9
CCI - / 1
Ger - //// 4
Sohne - //// 4
Other - ////////// 10
Vekoma - /// 3
Zierer - ////// 6
Mack - //// 4
Pinfari - /// 3

Other is random ones. So Arrow wins. If we include flats, it puts Intamin on par for me.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Intamin, by a landslide: SpeedMonster, Stealth, Kanonen, Balder and Piraten.
Then Vekoma: ThunderCoaster and Loopen.
Two Gerstlauer: Thor's Hammer and X-treme racers
A meagre one B&M: Nemesis Inferno
I guess Zamperla has a couple as well, and SBF Visa is represented by one. Wow, I even have a Schwarzkopf...

 

[Error]

Intamins 7
B&M 11
Arrow 13
Various others

So, Arrow wins. Good enough topic.

 

[Anonymous]

^^^ Poke if you are thinking that Lisebergbanan is a Schwarzkopf then think again, it's actually a Zierer...

After doing some quick sums, then:
(Only manufacturers with more than 10 coasters I have ridden)

Vekoma 46
Intamin 29
Mack 27
Togo 21
Zierer 19
Maurer Sohne 16
Meisho 14
Zamperla 13
Gerstlauer 12
Pinfari 12
Arrow 11
B&M 11
Schwarzkopf 10

So Vekoma for me...

 

[Brookes]

Great topic, it had a really surprising outcome for me: (5 coasters or more)

Mack 15
B&M 12
Vekoma 11
Intamin 5
Arrow 6
Other 7

So an unlikely winner for me; Mack. Probably Europa Park which makes it so high, but I thought B&M would be the most for me by quite a bit.
