Underrated (steel) Manufacturers

[eskater132]

Hello,

Well I was thinkin of a topic and this is it: What is your favorite manufacturer besides B&M & Intamin, Mine is Premier. So here is a few choices on the poll, if you have any others just post em!

[Dailey Enterprizes]

I picked Schwarzkopf since he created some of the best coasters around the world. Yes, some of them now suck because of the OTSRs, but I still prefer Schwarzkopf.

I choose Arrow.

VEKOMA #1

[Jumboshrmp]

Well, all of the coasters on my top ten list are either B&M, or at Disney Parks.

RnR coaster is a vekoma, but I never said I like them.

Premier is really good, but I'd have to say Mapo (built Space Mountain and Big Thunder at WDW).

Just because I like Space Mountain So much. But, since WED isn't really a coaster dmanufacturer, I cant put that.

So, premier it is, the mummy was great.

Togo.

 

am I smoking the crack rocks?

trippin' on E?

Smacked?

 

 

Nope, I like togo's. Hard to belive I know, but it is true.

 

Since Togo isn't up there, I said Premier. I love all their creations.

Overall: Schwarzkopf

 

Currently making rides: Premier

[cray hail]

um where is Morgan Manufactoring and Vekoma on this list...*looks* yeah um okay well that's cool. i don't see it... but yeah togo's are mad sweet. anywho i voted for S&S slash Arrow.

 

p.s. you clearly are on that gonga

[okinawaboy11]

I Actually prefer Shockwave at PKD over Iron Wolf at SFGAm.

[cray hail]

um who wouldn't!?

[ParkTrips]

Before I opened the thread I was going to say Premier, but to see Schwarzkopf as a choice, its a no-brainer!!

[easytoremember]

Definatly Schwarzkopf. I have only been on a few, but they were really fun for there size. I think all of them were under 100 ft, and they are all in my top 15.

[benzo41190]

I would also say Schwarzkopf. There are so many great rides out there...in my opinion, if Schwarzkopf was still making coasters...i think they would probably be one of the most popular designers.

[socalMAN123]

I would defenitly have to go with Schwarzkopf. Montezuma's Revenge is an awesome coaster and all of the other Schwarzkopf coasters I've seen, look amazing.

I was thinking Giovanola, as I have never ridden one but they look good. I was also thinking Morgan, and some others too, but with whats up there, I chose Premier.

[trustkill22]

Flippin' Maurer Söhne is the stuff. I love their Spinning Coasters.

[UberBeavis]

Miler!!

[ECZenith]

Vekoma's custom stuff is awesome. I know SLCs and Boomerangs aren't their best models but the they make miracles happen when they work with Disney. Surprised they're not on the poll.

[SLUSHIE]

I'm ganna go with arrow. Not only did they create the first ever steel roller coaster, but they also made the first inversion with their corkscrew coasters. Without arrow we might still only have wood coasters!! K well I doubt that, but still.

I was going to pick Premier, but then when I saw that the poll had Schwarzkopf on it, it was a no brainer pick.

 

EDIT:

Ummm.....

[CoasterFanatic]

Of those currently making coasters, I would put them in this order:

 

Maurer Söhne (Spinning Mice Rule!)

S&S (Bonus points for also making the most "wrong" woodies ever)

Premier (Mummy yummy)

Gerstlauer (Bobsled and Eurofighters)

[dragoncoaster1292]

I put Schwarzkopf because they make awesome coasters, but I would honestly put Zierer if they were on it. Don't ask why, but I just love the coasters they make.

[asr]

Out of those I have to say Priemer, because Chiller is awesome

 

But I have too say that the most underrated manufacturer is Vekoma. I hear soooooooo many bad things about them, but the two Vekoma's I have been on (Flashback at SFNE and Mind Eraser at SFNE) are alot better then what I expected of them. Mind Eraser barely hurt at all, and had some awesome and completly disorienting elements, and Flashback, while one of the roughest coasters i've been on, isn't all that bad, espiecally when compared to GASM at SFGAdv. GASM at SFGAdv =

[MattJackson]

I can't really decide between Premier and Schwarzkopf. Schwarzkopf coasters look like kiddie coasters at forst glance, like Laser at Dorney, so I rode it thinking it was going to be like any other kiddie coaster, exept slightly larger, but it really packed a punch! But I can't deny the intensity of Chiller at SFGAd, so I'm not voting, as I can't make up my mind.

[coasterguy618]

I love Schwarzkopf coasters, but I picked Priemer just because they built Chiller.
