Battle of the Manufacturers, (wood)

[JJLehto]

I was unsure about including Intamin, I wanted to keep it "traditional" but wood is wood, and they do make wooden coasters so why not?

And didnt wanna get flak for it anyway

 

 

 

I'm torn. I love GCI, and I've not ridden any GGs though they seem "better" so I'm giving my vote to the one that spawned both, and made some great ones.

 

CCI

^RMC and PTC are missing.

I am very split between GCI and Gravity Group. On one hand, you have gracious, almost beautiful looking roller coasters that, for the most part, are fairly smooth. On the other hand, you have the wild, out of control-feeling Gravity Group who's coasters have crazy 90 degree banked turns and long underground tunnels. I really can't decide

I wouldn't include Rocky Mountain yet as they have yet to open Outlaw Run and NTAG isn't exactly a wood coaster. I'm torn between Intamin and TGG, both provide excellent rides that produce a ton of airtime. However I like the TGG innovations (High 5, Zero-G Roll on a wooden coaster, 90* Turns on a wooden coaster, that new crazy Double Down on the new Chinese coaster, ect) which puts them above Intamin IMO.

Where is Vekoma? Although they don't build them anymore in 2000 and 2001 a number of 3 wooden coasters came from Vekoma, these are the only ones by them. So Vekoma has wooden coasters. Not that I would vote for Vekoma even if you gave me money. My vote has been given to Intamin, It is slightly better then GCI I think.

Sorry, locking this thread. I really hate polls like this. It's missing a few manufacturers, and the data from a poll like this is virtually worthless unless someone has ridden a coaster from ALL of the manufacturers, and it's impossible to control that kind of a sample group. So it just becomes a popularity contest of "who has ridden a certain ride or manufacturer's ride the most", not which one is really the best.
