Gerstlauer or Maurer?

[PaulMartz37]

They both have thier own interesting designs.

Maurer - so incredibly creative even though they have their fair share of fails.

Gerstlauer - creative with with way less fails.

 

IMO, Maurer ftw. Their designs are extremely interesting (i.e. Rockit's loop)

Gerstlauers are super cute though.

 

I have yet to ride any major coaster from either company so I would really like to hear feedback from anyone and everyone else!

Do they ever really compete?

Mmm, if no one really responds between today and tomorrow, Ill trash it.

My apologizes.

^^No, but I think it could generate some fun discussion, anyway.

 

I personally thing Gerstlauer is the superior company. Their Eurofighters are fun rides, and seem to be catching on in the industry. They also produce some fun spinning coasters, and the bobsled coasters look great as well.

 

(Although I must admit, HRRR does look pretty awesome...)

Can't really say as I'm a virgin to both...

 

Design and innovation wise, Mauer. Gerstlauer hasn't really tried anything new since the innovation of the Eurofighter (well they made a launched version but its still a Eurofighter).

^And what has Maurer done, other than extend the layouts of their X-car coasters?

I'll go with Gerstlauer, but...

You said there can only be one...

[PaulMartz37]

^ LMAO you got that bro

 

Thanks for the responses everyone.

You've got a point but just look at Maurer's website. http://www.maurer-rides.de/ It really seems like they are trying to do more. You know, with the LEDs and the option to choose your own music. They are also trying to improve their rider capacity.

The rides Ive been seeing from Gerstlauer have in fact better theming than any of Maurer's, but their rides seem very similar. Saw - awesome idea. Falcon - they even put detail into the supports. But both aren't much different from the original Eurofighters.

 

BUT, who am I to criticize a company's style?

I'm thinking "no," as we've closed similar threads in the past.

How about I just move it to "Random, random, random"?

Would that be appropriate?
