I would say Eurofighters. I think most people avoid them because of their small scale, but their compact layouts can really pack a punch. The Smiler at Alton Towers has a record-setting 14 inversions in such a tiny footprint.

Although Smiler isn't *technically* a eurofighter (marketed as an infinity design) its pointless to argue semantics in this case so I do agree to an extent because of what I've ridden in the UK (SAW, Speed & Smiler) - they're just a bit rough around the edges and I suppose due to their smaller footprint they're much more popular over here anyway!

What I do miss is some more inventive Vekoma Motobikes coasters - they just never seemed to really kick off.

I've always wanted Intamin to build a new version of Furious Baco that was actually bearable.

More cray el locos everywhere too pls.

-A lot of people don't like stand-ups because they're painful but the one I've ridden was not so much. IDK if that counts since the thread title says 'rarely' and new B&M stand-ups aren't made anymore at all.
-IDK if I've been living under a rock or what but I don't really read as much about new GCI or Gravity Group woodies opening outside of China since RMC went mainstream.

^^ For GG theres Wooden Warrior Roar-a-saorus, and the Hades rehab, but you're right they haven't done a major project outside of china in a long time.

Personally I would like to see Gerstlauer come out with an updated version of the Schwarzkopf coasters. The new trains on SDL @ Hershey are really nice, so I want to see what come up with track wise.
What are these for?

I wish there were Intamin Impulse coasters built. A lot of people seem to think "Oh, it's just an impulse coaster", but I think they're really a lot of fun. They've got some intense moments, they're relative cheap, take up very little space, and they have good capacity for a shuttle coaster (at least from my experience).

Arrow Suspended coasters. It falls into the not made anymore style but I really want to see someone bring it back.

I would love to see some more traditional non-GCI woodies out there. Pretty much all of the newer woodies miss something what woodies do have on the woodies build back in the 90's. The only ones that gave the same experience was GG together with M&V but they only have like 4-5 coasters on record.
And as other people mentioned. Would be great to see a company re-inventing the Arrow Suspended coaster.

If they would do it on the mountain on the other side of the lake, brilliant idea! If they would build it on the same hill as Boulder Dash, it probably would lose some of it's charm.

I'd love to see a really twisted and intense pipeline coaster. I think there's a lot of unused potential there. Also more interesting Bobsleds
