boldikus Posted August 11, 2015 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

Coastin Eric Posted August 12, 2015 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.
Coaster Hero Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 B&M: Hyper Intamin: Giga RMC: Prefab, if that counts (they played a major role in El Toro so..) Arrow: Looper Vekoma: Boomerang (only type of Vekoma I've been on) Mondial: Windseeker S&S: Drop Towers (still haven't been on one of their coasters yet)

Chance - Chaos Gerstlauer - Coastersaurus (Clearly, I haven't been on many Gerstlauer's! ) Giovonola - Hyper (Considering I don't even like Goliath, it's no wonder they went bankrupt!)

Zamperla - Spinning Wild-Mouse (Ragin' Cajun) Zierer - Jaguar (By default, I think it's their only coaster I've ridden!)
coasterbill Posted August 12, 2015 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...) Von Roll: Sky Rides

Password121 Posted August 18, 2015 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.
canobiefanatic Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 B&M: Hypers Arrow: Suspended Intamin: Prefab woodies Vekoma: Giant Inverted Boomerang Gerstlauer: Eurofighter RMC: I-Box Zierer: Multi-Launch Premium: Multi-Launch Huss: Frisbee Chance: Wipeout Zamperla: Disko S&S: Double Shot
