boldikus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Had a conversation w/ a friend about this so thought this might be interesting to post here. Knowing my luck there is probably a thread about this (mods please merge if so?) What is everyones favorite product/model from each manufacturer? Obviously it should be something you have actually ridden. For instance mine would be: B&M - inverts Intamin - hypers/blitz/prefabs Premier - spaghetti bowl launcher S&S - Screaming Swing Larson - drop tower Arrow - mine trains? lol Vekoma - SLC (its either that or boomerang for me, at least SLCs are not boring) HUSS - enterprise Funtime - Star Flyer Morgan - hypers Chance - Pharaoh's Fury/swinging ships Schwarzkopf - Bayern Kurve Edited August 12, 2015 by boldikus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastin Eric Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ooh I like the idea of this thread. Here's my input: B&M - inverts, for sure. Intamin - Blitz or Terra whatever people call them. Maverick, Monstre, etc Premier - X car customs, aka sky rocket style. S&S - Screaming Swing Larson - drop tower RMC - Only been on the woodie version, so I guess that! Arrow - 4D or loopers Vekoma - Flying dutchmans HUSS - N/A Sally - N/A Morgan - hypers Chance - Mega Lites (Lightning Run) Schwarzkopf - Shuttle Coasters.

coasterbill Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The number of manufacturers I pull out of thin air will be a good indicator of how much I'm trying to kill time at work today. Okay here goes... I'm leaving out any manufacturer where I haven't ridden at least 2 types of products they offer which includes RMC. Arrow: Log Flumes (honorable mention to suspended coasters) Bisch-Rocco: Flyers B&M: Inverts (My favorite 2 B&M coasters are Fury and Kumba but Inverts are the most consistently great) Chance: Zipper! Dinn: I don't count Wild One or the Beast, so I'm going with Mean Streak. Hi haters! Eyerly: Roll O Plane Frank Hrubetz & Company: Paratrooper (these guys made them, Round Ups, Tip Tops and a few others). Funtime: Sky Screamer Gerstlauer: Euro Fighters, especially of the mysterious and mine-y variety Hopkins: Log Flume Huss: Giant Frisbee Intamin: Basically everything but I guess Giga's. Honorable mention to wood coasters and 1st gen freefalls. Larson: Drop Towers Mack: Log Flume Mondial: Windseeker Morgan: Hypers Premier: Spaghetti Bowls Schwarzkopf: Everything! S&S: Drop Towers... Hypersonic was awful Togo: lol... standups I guess even though I hate them Vekoma: Giant Inverted Boomerang (when running Vekoma trains) Honorable mention to the Mad House (Houdini). Zamperla: Frisbee And last but certainty not least (they made Space Spiral so I can count them... get your drink ready everyone...)

Password121 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 This is pretty neat thread. I'll post these as they come into my mind, I don't have the patience to make it alphabetical lol. B&M-Inverts (haven't ridden all that many but Raptor and Batman kick all kinda of behind) Intamin--Prefab/Giga (looked though my list of fav Intamins and I have El Toro followed by both Gigas so not sure which to choose overall) Vekoma--Flying Dutchman (they're not *that* bad) Premier--Spaghetti bowl launchers GCI--Idk... something smoother than Roar Arrow--Log Flumes/hyper (haven't ridden Magnum on a good day so I need to give it credit as it was at least 'okay') Larson--haven't ridden their drop tower so I guess flying scooters I'll basically stop there because I'm not a huge flat ride person and I haven't travelled all too much.
