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.

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

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

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* [lol]

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.

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

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.

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.

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
