Whats you favorite type of coaster by which company,what do you like about it, and whats one or more of the issues you have with them(if there are any)?


Mine are S&S's air compressed launched coasters. They have an undescribebly magnificant launch, the trains sort of shake a little during the transitions because the tire wheels, but otherwise its smooth as ice(you will see this on the first hill). They just need to be longer and have more hills because the airtime on these is so smooth and intense.

Personally i perfer b&m traditonal sit downs(wildfire, kumba). theres just something about them that floorlesses don't have not to mention that they are very rare.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

mine are B&M inverts or B&M Floorless

the thing about B&M that I really like is their aesthetic value to a park and the fact that they are all but guaranteed to work the first time

stil my favroite coaster is the standered SLC by vekoma. it just the fact of it having totally unique elements and a great layout in a pretty small area. yes parts arent smooth and the restrants make your ears bleed but i do still love them.

worst for me has to be the x-car coaster. the only one i have riden (g-force at drayton manor) is bumpy, badly designed, slow, has a pretty bad layout and worst of all the restaints feel like there prying your ribs from off your body by getting under neeth them especially when your hanging upside down. sorry to say bur klondike mine ride was not only a prifari ride but better and alot more fun

my favorite is any B&M coaster. My home park (Six Flags Great America) has a good variety of B&M's and I just love them all. My favorite B&M rides are Batman The Dark Knight (now 'Batman The Ride') @ SF New England, Katun at Mirabilandia, and Raging Bull at SF Great America [:D]

I also really like wooden coasters. I like the air-time hills and the "classic" look and feel of them. [;)]

Give me wood anytime at any day of the year. Wood just has this feeling you don't have on steel rides.
