My god Intamin, there is no doubt from me. This is one area of competition where Intamin really just doesn't lose.

And I'm usually B&M preference in other areas of judgment

*Added thoughts- The picture of Ride of Steel, the 3rd one down, is awesome. The picture of the B&M Wingrider also looks awesome. And just look at how ridiculous Supersonic Odyssey's train is. So great, Intamin.

Yeah intamin is the best IMO, but i wish they had kept the look of their 1st gen hyper trains because the front of the new ones are uglier.

I think PTC makes the best trains of all time. Most comfortable; simple, sleek design. Rides like a coaster train should.

No.

Not really the most comfortable (but definitely padded), and I'm not sure how you find a box on wheels "sleek". I do like them though.

they are sleek though and they are the most comfortable and they are not a box on wheels. They are just a beautifully simple design.

Simple, yes. But I don't know about sleek.

I think B&M seats are some of the most comfortable. [:)] I voted for their trains being hotter...I just like the look of them.

How can anyone look at those B&M Wing-rider trains and then not vote for B&M [lol]

And the Flyer trains... and the 2nd gen hyper trains... and the Dive machine trains....

B&M wins hands down, surely? And they're easily the most comfortable seats as well.

If America got something like that, I would poop myself and fly over to the park to ride. Hell, even if America got something like nemesis I would poop myself.

^Great America is rumored to get one.... and looking at the clues they have been giving us on facebook, it might be true.

I would have to say Intamin mainly because there are a lot better for custom themes and styles. B&M trains generally look almost the same just slightly altered depending on the track type (aside from a couple obvious rides.) Plus, Intamin trains just look more streamlined and sleek. Not to mention Xclerator is in my top 5 coasters of all time, and part of that is the fact that the trains really do look reminiscent of a late 50's early 60's hot rod, and the new paint job on the trains, WOW!!!

Intamin hands down. First generation hyper/giga trains are by far my favorite trains for a steel roller coaster.

Totally Intamin.
Just look at the 2nd Generation Hypers on B&M. They look dumb.

Intamin wins for me because of the Cheetah Hunt trains alone, I think they are gorgeous looking.... I do love B&M's trains though.

B&M for me, Only cause intamin is sticking with simple train designs and B&M is making wing riders, floorless, flyers, and Dive Machines. Also the 2nd gen Intamin trains are ugly as hell.
