This isn't about your favourite manufacturer. Mack are clearly a forum favourite, I know there's a fair few Intamin fans around also - me included. B&M are often associated with dull rides nowadays on the whole, having lost their "edge" somewhat, though they seem to be making some ground back... no doubt forced by the inventive nature of other pretenders to the throne. Gerstlauer are pitching in with their new, incredibly flexible and offering great value "Infinity" coasters. Intamin launch continue to be extremely thrilling. S&S are breaking boundaries with their Polarcoaster.
Of course then we have the RMC crazy "woodies", I took Premier out as they really aren't doing a huge amount, and I wanted to add some comedy Chinese ones but alas there were not enough options.
Let's not forget the incredible new Dynamic Attractions SFX coaster which if done well with their new multiple "trick tracks" could truly revolutionise what is thought possible in much the same way B&M did all those years back.
So for me, right now? It's still B&M. They're not my favourite, Nemesis and Oblivion aside, but their coasters are absolutely rock solid reliable, built to last, and long term are a great investment for any park. The new launch at Holiday World looks a darling of a family coaster, with in my opinion, the Wing finally finding its right market.
It's been a little while since I've seen a poll or discussion thread on this, Mack are expanding rapidly with their Mega with apparently a fair few orders in - so right now, who do you think is making the best rides?
Remember though, not necessarily your favourite, Intamin are mine in general but for this I have to still vote B&M for their all round performance.
A fair few of you have ridden many, many more rides globally than I have. I look forward to your opinions on a serious thread for me for a change!
