(EDIT) -> I forgot to add Morgan! [;)]

Intamin. I'm not the greatest B&M fan, as their designs have too high g:s for me. The elements on Intamins are better, like their first drops (even though they are designed by the same man?) And then when Intamins get old, they get a nice little bumpiness effect.

Intamin also has much more beautiful track, I think

I think intamin is more innovative but B&M does have some nice coasters and reliability. But yeah they do have tons of clones, because they're good but I prefer intamin.

I'm stuck between 2 companies. I have not ridden enough Intamin rides to say they are the best, I've just ridden Rita. So now I'm stuck between Schwarzkopf & Charlie Paige

Its awefully close between Intamin and B&M.

Intamin push the limits of coasters making highly thrilling rides. They are really innovative with every thing associated with a roller coaster from the control system to the ride.

B&M are the highly engineered rides that everybody seems to love. They build with capacity in mind meaning I have never waited more than an hour for ANY B&M coaster I've ever been on. The only B&M I don't care for are Stand-ups.
