Vekoma for being able to show completely new designs, rather than taking a concept from another company and trying to improve it *cough*Mick Doohan's Moto Coaster*cough*
And they're Dutch off course, which is always a big +
B&M screwed it up by trimming Silver Star to get rid of any form of airtime..

arrow steel loopers and vekoma steel loopers are very alike, aren't they?
B&M. They must be like the only company which never delivered something that breaks down every 156 seconds. Plus they're visually attractive and deliver good rides.
I actually love arrow/vekoma! Arrow was so innovative in their designs, they paved the way for alot of styles! Vekoma is a pretty innovative company as well, they are willing to take risk. So I am one of the few Arrow/Vekoma lovers. I love Intamin too! Intamin rides are so freakin awesome!
Come on, you have a 'favorite company' topic without including Custom Coasters / Gravity Group? Come on, dude, that's just wrong. Go CCI/GG, and about 60% of the top 50 woodies list.
inovation, relitivy smooth, they do have good reliability when well maintained, they look great, nostalgic oldies, have the most popular designs ever(SLC and super weible) and finally they are loved the world over.
most of all for me is the inovation of there designs. they have a great range of coasters to sell and offer thrills from small kids to teens needing the ultimate thrill
^ dont forget boomerang, one of the most successful rides ever i guess
I have to go for B&M as well, their rides are just beautiful and always seem to be smooth. Vekoma are a close second though, while not as smooth, they are much more innovative. I just wish the tilt coaster was more reliable so a UK park would buy one! [:(]
While people are mentioning coaster companies which arent in the list, S&S are missing. They probably wouldnt get many votes, but if you did a poll like this for flat ride manufacturers as well as coasters S&S would be way up there for me. [^]
