erm, you forgot togo, i mean im insulted...LOL j/k

I like B&M.They got the coolest coaster types & I like the sound of them roaring down the track.My favorite kind of coaster is a B&M invert.

-------------------------

<----- Of course you know what I voted for[;)]

My fav has to be B&M

I'm the other CCI fan. There coasters are just very well designed, wonderful rides with big thrills in a small package. Too bad they had to go out of business.

They went out of business? I thought they were new manufacturer.

unfortunately, yes. CCI just closed down last year. Their last coaster project was the New Mexico Rattler. They just started in 1993, but wood coasters just aren't as popular as they used to be, except for coaster enthusiasts. Result: an untimely end for CCI and Charles Dinn.

Didn't CCI reform as the Gravity Group, or am I confusing them with somebody else?

yeah, CCI have reformed as Gravity group

Easy choice, Vekoma sells the most coasters and is from The Netherlands [8D] I think intamin makes the coolest tracks but Vekoma does a better overall job [:)]

I only kike Vekoma's Custom Coasters, There's just way too many SLCs and Boomerangs out there...

b&m are the roller coaster geniuses.

i disagree with you 38801xlr8. they are rollercoaster geniuses but not the rollercoaster geniuses. Anton Scharzkopf was far beyond his time way back in the day, and Vekoma used some pretty cool (although it works rather crappy) technology for the Deja Vu coasters. Deja Vu my hardly ever work, and it may need warm weather to operate, but the designs for the cable lifts are pretty neat i think. And what about the designers for Premier rides that made the first Linear Induction Motor eh? since they first used it how many times have similar designs been used? And of coarse the best for last, the guys at Intamin used the most advanced technology yet for the launch on TTD. so there you go. B&M are geniusses, but not the geniuoses.

IMO, Deja Vu sucks cause you have to be less than 6'3" to ride it. [:(!] It's because their "brilliant" designers [;)] decided to make the train so close to the track that if you were over 6'3", your hands would be chopped by the wheel if you put them up. No offense to short people, but they designed it for short people. [}:)]

I like B&M and Intamin. B&M coasters are fantastic. They are smooth and I loved he way the track looks. I doing my graduation project in school and they sent me things to help me along the way, so they are very cool-they always been cool to me though. My favorite B&M coaster types are: B&M Hyper, Stand-Up, Floorless and Inverted.

Intamin has made some of the biggest and baddest coasters around, and I loved to be scared out of my wits on roller coasters and Intamin's coasters do just that.
My favorite Intamin coaster types are: Speed runner, Mega Coaster, Strata, Giga and Inverted.

CCI Is not out of business. They are under new management and I thik they have a a diffrent company name now. but I pretty darn sure that they aren't gone, I was just on a few coaster sites some 2 hours ago and it stated that they are under new magament, some one bought the company.

The four main engineers of Custom Coasters International started thier own business, the Gravity Group. Custom Coasters International DID go out of business, but the President of the company started some coaster thing at S&S sports.
So after that, the Gravity Group began.

punkrock...i'm not saying all the other people aren't that good...i'm saying that b&m is my favorite.

Definitely Arrow. After all, they were the the ones who created the
4-D coaster. BTW, X is the best ride in the world!

u forgot kci kiddie coasters incorperated,u suck! J.K. !

Based on the coasters I've been on, I'd say B&M. Wish I could get on some more Intamins.
