If you had the power to permanently shut down one Manufacturer and have all of their rides demolished, which company would it be?

I would personally say Vekoma.

The problem with that idea, is, all manufacturers have crappy coasters and all manufacturers have good coasters. It really has nothing to do with the manufacturer, so much as the individual park, or parts(train) supplier. Even the worst manufacturer can have the best coaster; as long as it is properly taken care of.

Saying Vekoma is REALLY REALLY REALLY stupid.

Wouldn't pretty much 90% of Disney cease to exist? And I'm not talking just coasters. Disneyworld WAS entirely Arrow and Vekoma if I recall correctly.

Something like that. Even not counting Disney, Vekomas, while well below average, aren't actually as shitty as most people make them out to be IMO.

plus, they're widely distributed. Who will supply replacement parts for all the coasters already in existence that need servicing...

Then I guess we'll just have to settle with all of their rides being demolished.

ummm, none of them!

I like all coasters, just some a LOT more than others. I like Vekoma, just i like Intamin a lot more, and B&M a hell of a lot more on top of that.

For me to say, "yeah i hate [coaster manufacturer] and i want all their rides demolished" would be like saying "yeah i hate my right ball, chop it off".

RCCA.Bandit ruined my back.
All RCCAs should be RMC'd. And that event shall be henceforth known as the Rollercaust.

Srsly,I can`t understand why they still found parks to built coasters in.These parks must have been dumbasses to not realise that RCCAs are nothing what a woodie makes good.
All RCCAs should be RMC'd. And that event shall be henceforth known as the Rollercaust.
