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.
