chargersmichael Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 B&M: Will you ever make trains that seat two people across instead of four and have it fit on a smaller kind of track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 B&M: To Claude or Walter: You've been in the business for a long time now and have made several groundbreaking and impressive rides. Which is your personal favourite among all the coasters you've constructed and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chargersmichael Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 GCI: When Gwazi's received new trains in Janurary of 2011, it improved the ride but wasn't nearly as smooth as any one of your other coasters that didn't have PTC's before. Gwazi did get some retracking but again seems to be getting rougher and rougher. Are there any plans to fix this roughness on Gwazi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Intamin: Your ZacSpin coasters show great potential but unfortunately they're just a bit too short imho. Will you start making longer ZacSpin layouts and maybe even include turns and/or trains with several attached cars to improve capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanks4me05 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Premier: I see that you built Superman: Ultimate Flight for SFDK, and now Full Throttle is being open at SFMM only one year later. Were they completely separate proposals that you entered? Did SFMM contact you soon after Superman Ultimate Flight's press release that they wanted something from you guys, or did you get to make a deal with Six Flags that you would make multiple coasters for their parks throughout the chain? EDIT: Haha, nice filter of F.u.l.l...T.h.r.o.t.t.l.e. Edited November 11, 2012 by Tanks4me05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Premier: What is your least favorite part of building a new ride? (Not just when you are working on the proposal; the entire process from start to finish.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

australianalex Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 B&M: Are you planning to use your second generation trains or the new style first generation trains (as seen on Leviathan) for your future hyper coasters?

Chris Benvenuto Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Great Coasters International: How well received are the smaller wooden models you produce? Such as American Thunder?

We know of them seeing use on Voyage at Holiday World and with Wooden Warrior at Quassy, but, how has feedback in response to these unique trains?

brattius Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 S&S - Now that your company has officially been sold, what changes if any, are we likely to be seeing in the future with regards to your rides, and your company as a whole? (ie. overall safety requirements, branching out in the market, scaling back, wooden, possible future mergers?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
