bonsaiisuperstar Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Just wondering what all the enthusiasts think. If you could choose four legendary coaster people to be on Mount Rushmore, who would they be? Mine: Anton Schwarzkoph Werner Stengel Alan Schilke John C. Allen
MagnumFreak25 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Alan Shilke Ron Toomer Werner Stengel John Miller

robbalvey Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Harry TraverWalter Bolliger/Claude Mabillard Anton Schwarzkopf LaMarcus A. Thompson I'm picturing the Walter Bolliger/Claude Mabillard to be some weird two/face mash up?

coasterkid124 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Teiichi Yamada (TOGO) Charles Dinn Michael Black (RCCA) Hendrik op het Veld (Vekoma) This of course is for North Korea's version of Mount Rushmore Now for the real deal: Werner Stengel Anton Schwarzkopf Ron Toomer Alan Schilke If I got another vote, Curtis Summers
GnastyGnoric7 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Mine would be: Mike Boodley Sandor Karnecs Walter Bolliger Anton Schwarzkoph
Superbatboy Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Anton Werner Stengel Sandor Kernacs Ron Toomer
Midgetman82 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Anton Schwarzkoph Ron Toomer Werner Stengel Walter Bolliger Then the U.S. would begin blasting rock for a fifth face: Alan Schilke
Woodie Warrior Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Walter Bolliger Will Koch Alan Schilke Werner Stengel
Coasterguy21 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 -Ron Toomer -Anton Schwarzkopf -Werner Stengel -Walter Bolliger Then some new faces would have to be added: -Alan Schilke -Sandor Kernacs
hey...hey Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Anton SchwarzkophRon Toomer Werner Stengel Walter Bolliger Then the U.S. would begin blasting rock for a fifth face: Alan Schilke Would agree.
gerstlaueringvar Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Anton Schwarzkopf Werner Stengel Alan Schilke Ron Toomer These four people's success are connected IMO. I think most of the good B&M's have a lot to do with Werner Stengel so... Edited August 30, 2014 by gerstlaueringvar
CanobieFan Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 John Miller (created up stop wheels) Anton Schwartzkopf (first successful looping coaster) Alan Schlike (first SUCCESSFUL inverting wooden coaster) Herbert Schmeck (World famous PTC designer)
StLCPfan Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Not to be too nitpicky, but wasn't Cedar Point's Corkscrew designed concurrent with Revolution but opened later in the year because of Sandusky, Ohio's climate and CP's later opening date? So I would give the first vertical loop a tie between Schwarzkopf/Intamin and Arrow. No Fred Church fans? I'd have a monument just to him besides a Rushmore style multi-face memorial to influential coaster designers.
Nrthwnd Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Actually, it might be interesting if the four fave coasters could be listed as "Mount Rushmore" carvings... possible? And I can remember specific coasters more than creators/designers/builders of such stuff. Just my five cents.
Santacruzsam Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Frederick Church Herbert Shmeck Werner Stengel Anton Schwarzkopf A couple years and Alan Shilke. Can't believe nobody put Mike Boodley. Who is sandor Kernac?
VF15 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Alan Schilke Ron Toomer Anton Schwarzkopf Werner Stengel
Mr.Peabody Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Harry Traver Herb Schmeck John Miller Anton Schwartzkopf
redfoot12 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Who is sandor Kernac? I know he heads up the American division of Intamin, IntaRide. What part does he play in actual roller coaster design though?
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 La Marcus Thompson (Seriously, nobody put him?) John Miller Werner Stengel Anton Schwarzkopf
mightypotato Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Anton Schwarzkopf Werner Stengel Walter Bolliger Harry Traver This is actually tough. Other people I could have included and deserve to be there are: John Miller Ron Toomer Claude Mabillard Stan Checketts
