He said 'out of the list', for those who are illiterate. If you don't agree with the poll, then don't participate [lol]

Gerstlauer easilyyyy.

B&M. Lets face it, they're better, even though Intamin follows VERY closely after.

It's not like you have been on more than 1...atleast 1 major ride from them! You just like what they have to offer...

Intamin is easily the best...they push the envelope unlike any other designer. Rides like S:RoS, El Toro, Storm Runner, Kingda Ka, etc, would never be built by B&M or someone else.

They're all awesome, but I choose Intamin, for the same reason as Jakizle...

Can I point out, those are not designers...

They're manufacturers.

AND, what if your favourite manufacturer was S&S or Togo, for example. You haven't really accounted for the minoities in your poll [lol]

but what happens when the minorities are zero? although B&M and Intamin are awesome, you just gotta love the past verticle mayhem on a eurofighter...

Ron Toomer ftw!

From the list though I think I have to say Intamin, even though I haven't been on a lot of their stuff.

I have been on 6 Gerstlauer Coasters. Including Mammut, Saw, Speed - NoLimits & Cobra.

SO I do know what I am saying and I still prefer gerstlauer rides. They offer a great smooth and forceful experience. And there seats are comfortable.

I was speaking to gerstlcrazy, not you.

I also have to say that my favorite designer is CCI/GG...Boulderdash, New Mexico Rattler, and Boardwalk Bullet are all in my top 5.

It's all an opinion guys. I am sort of tied with Intamin and B&M Steel:
Intamin: Launched
B&M: Everything else

For wooden it is obvious that I go with CCI

^that is true, with CCI. I mean, that Boss at SFSL is a great ride, but its so damn rough and painful thanks to the Gerstlauer trains.

Gerstlauer is a great company (even though i have never been on their wooden coaster trains).

If you do, be careful, those things are really rough.
