Best Roller Coaster Manufacturer

What is your favorite? I would personally have to say CCI, but what about you?

That's tough. I'm really on the fence between B&M and Intamin, but I think Intamin is superior. Their rides really seem to vary the most and each individual ride seems to pack a punch in its own special way.

Gerstlauer IMO. They pull some neat designs with a good mix of forces allowing them to be more family friendly while some are still epic.

Wheres Maurer Sohne?

TOGO all the way for the airtime.

I NEVER knew that's what Intamin meant. Wow.

good idea. I will add that. The problem is the poll only allows you 15 options. I will replace Harry C. Baker with it

Don't ask me to change the poll. That would be in other.

Don't forget Saeki. http://www.rcdb.com/7582.htm

ugh

B&M by far. My top 10 is basically 9 B&Ms (and a Giovanola)

B&M focuses on coasters and coasters only. They are hard to beat, but Intamin is quite awesome too

[gouldy]

depends what mood I'm in to be honest. These days, they've almost all got some pretty amazing coasters behind them.

hmmm... I think I'm feeling in an Intamin mood right now, so I'll plug for that. *opens NL and starts new Intamin Hyper*

Agreed, my top 5 is all B&Ms and a GCI. B&M is awesome. I like their turning drops.

And dude, TOGO is not 'other'! Manhattan Express is really awesome, haha. That's about all they got going for them in this country though.

Would you care to share what they are?

I'm not questioning, I'm just genuinely interested!

I've got two B&Ms and one Intimin in my top five. Both are good products but B&M is much more reliable.

My top 5 are all woodies.

We know... you mention them almost everyday.

Do you recommend any of them to the deserving men on the site?

1. Montu
2. Goliath (SFMM)
3. Talon
4. Flight Deck (CGA)
5. Tatsu
6. Riddler's Revenge
7. Dueling Dragons (Ice)
8. Alpengeist
9. Kumba
10.Nitro

EDIT: Just one comment, this is my steel-top-10. If it were to include woodies, Boulder Dash would be between Goliath and Talon, El Toro would be between Flight Deck and Tatsu and Phoenix would be between Alpengeist and Kumba.

You like Montu better than Kumba? That much better than Kumba? Haha

I bet wisdom rides is your favorite lol


I like B&M and Intamin equally, they are both responsible for some record-breaking designs and cutting edge coasters. The only reason Intamin may have the leading edge for me is they make some really cool flat rides and towers too. Berserker at KI is probably my favorite non-looping swinging ship ride.

My Top 5 coasters:

1) Boulder Dash
2) Bizarro
3) X2
4) Cyclone (SFNE)
5) Tatsu

Schwarzkopf = Mind Bender(SFOG) looking forward to riding it in a couple of weeks.

Well my top ten are:

Millennium Force
Diamondback
Maverick
Tatsu
Top Thrill Dragster
Apocalypse
Xcelerator
Beast
Raptor
Magnum XL200

So I'm going with Intamin.
B&M is not far behind though.

I've been to Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Europe. Argruably, I'd give it to Intamin
