Gregory DG Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I hear a lot of rumblings about Vekoma being the worst... Who is the best?
PhishyBrewer Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 You should make this a poll. I would have to say B&M
SpartanTS Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I hear a lot of rumblings about Vekoma being the worst... Who is the best? I'm sure the Intamin fanboys are coming, but I surely beg to differ. B&M is my personal favorite. The Batman Clones Dueling Dragons (IOA) Apollo's Chariot (BGW) Mantis(CP) Sheikra(BGT) Top Gun (Paramounts Carowinds) - One of the best inverted coasters in the US Superman Ultimate Flight (SFxx) ...and that's just to name a few. Sure they may not make 500 ft Giga coasters, but they make coasters that will provide great thrills and smooth rides. B&M gets my vote.
socalMAN123 Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 B&M delivers most of my everyday thrills. Or Intamin (I've only been on Xcelerator). ---Brent 8)
JamminJ Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 This is pretty easy.. for wood CCI, GCI, Gravity Group, S&S, John A. Miller and Herb Schmeck. Intamin in the steel department.
ECZenith Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Most of my favorite coasters are Intamins and some B&Ms. But I also think companies like Premier are underrated. For wood, CCI & GCI are my favs.
it Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 B&M and Premier superman krypton coaster is B&M and poltergeist is Premier
crispy Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 This is pretty easy.. for wood CCI, GCI, Gravity Group, S&S, John A. Miller and Herb Schmeck Hoky crap man, thats all the major desingners of wooden coasters For wooden coasters, I have to go with CCI, and posibly the Gravity Group, we will see if they can produce the same level of coasters over time that CCI did For steel, B&M is awesome, my favorite steel coaster is Top Gun at PGA The steel portion may change after my trip to SFMM, but I doubt my Wood coaster prefrence will change, cause from what I hear the wood coasters at SFMM leave something to be desired Hopefully one day I can ride a Vekoma or Intamin woodie, they look pretty awesome
arrowfanman Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 My favorite is Intamin. My name is arrowfanman, and my favorite is Intamin. Huh.
vertgforces Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Well the manufacturers of my top 15 rides are as follows- 1. Intamin's SROS at SFNE 2. Intamin's MF at CP 3. B&M's Nitro at SFGAdv 4. B&M's Apollo's Chariot at BGW 5. Intamin's SROS at SFDL 6. B&M's SUF at SFGadv 7. B&M's Raptor at CP 8. B&M's Mantis at CP 9. B&M's Ice Dragon half of Dueling Dragons at IOA 10. Intamin's Calfornia Screamin' at DCA 11. Vekoma's X-Flight at GL 12 B&M's Incredible Hulk at IOA 13. B&M's Fire Dragon half of Dueling Dragons at IOA 14. Morgan's Steel Force at DP 15. B&M's Kraken at SWF So I guess its pretty much B&M, although Intamin has the top 2 and #10 (lol i'm an east-coast-rollercoaster-coaster)
Thuur Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Vekoma does! I admire their innovative design and their currage to come up with something total new (Oke, they went bankrupt in 2002 because they had to many new products nobody was interested in...) Pinfari (Pronounce: "painfari") also makes great coasters... Thuur, the painfari man, Crompvoets
BuffaloCoastin Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Voted: B&M Although I haven't been on that many coasters of any particular type, I do know that B&M has the biggest variety (Invert, Sit-Down, Stand-Up, Floorless, Hyper) that are all equally good, whereas Intamin is known mainly for hyper/giga/rocket coasters.
CoasterExpert13 Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 I'd gave to say B&M hands down!! Here's My order of Fav's: 1.) Bolliger & Mabillard (been on 29 B&M's out of 61) 2.) Intamin AG (been on 17 Intamin's out of 74) 3.) Chance-Morgan (been on 5 Morgan's out of 9) 4.) Premier Rides (been on 5 Premier's out of 17) 5.) Vekoma (been on 19 Vekoma's out of 232) I Like Wood Coasters Also, But I Love Steel Coasters!
shepp Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Factoring in rideability, reliability, rerideability, and restraints: B&M. MF, S:ROS, KK, TTD, and XCelerator sure kick ass, though.
BiCoastal Kid Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Big steel is Intamin all the way. TTD, Xcel, Cali Screamin', all od their hypers and such. Vekoma makes good small steel coasters like their roller skaters and mine trains. The only Arrow coaster I really like is Ninja @ SFMM, because it kicks a lot of butt. Schwarzkopf made the best portable rides by far. CCI pretty much mastered the "classic" woodie, but I think S&S will probably take over that market. Most of their woodies look great. GCI makes good twisters. But, I have the feeling that Intamin will wind up smoking them both if their few woodies to date show anything.
bgwfreak Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 B&M all the way!!! I was looking at my Top 10 list (readjusting some things) and like 5 or 6 of my Top 10 are B&Ms!!!
