I love B&M. I can't get enough of thier

smoothness especially since my home park Six Flags Great Adventure is like

B&M park with 4 of them and probably more to come.

I dont care who makes them but if i had to choose id

pick Intamin since they are always building bigger and better with new features like

MFs cable lift.

Why pick one? I love B&M, Intamin, Giovanola,

CCI, GCI, Arrow, Vekoma (some), Schwarzkopf, GCI. Why dispute who is better?

Enjoy them all!

Go Broncos!

I like Intamin and B&M. They both have

different styles so you really can't compare them.

Hell am i the only one that loves arrow. I like thier

chain-lift noise the most, I find it obnoxious and pleasing to my mind... I also like how

they are bumpy and thier supports are uniques. Smooth ones have no thrill cuz they

are smooth. (Duh)

what are you talking about?!?!? smooth

ones are the best because you can feel the sensation of an inversion without having to

worry about your head getting nailed on the restraint shoulder, but I have to agree

about the chain lift, it sounds like it's a piece of advanced technology somehow

:huh: I hate how they are

soooooo slow. It takes forever to descend. By the time it releases from the chain the

front cars is probably at the bottom of the hill.

Arrow and Intamin. Arrow for taking us higher,

Intamin for perfecting the height. There's nothing like a Magnum ride, nothing

like a Millennium/TTD ride. That's why I'm tied.

Awesome. You are the

first person that shares somewhat the same view as me. Wow.

I believe

that the Americans helped pioneer the coaster world (first steel, first hyper, first

modern day inversion, first suspended, first 4D, and often broke the height and most

inversions records) and that the Swiss (my favorite being Intamin) perfected it.

And, I have yet to find a person that shares my thought that: B&M is

nothing special. I like their rides, but they aren't anything to rave about. I dont

know, they just aren't me.

I think B&M has contributed

greatly to the coaster industry with the first inverted coaster, creatin stand-ups better

than Togo, perfecting the flying coaster, first vertical drop coaster, first floorless

coaster, and creating great multi-loopers that are smoother than Arrow. Their rides

look great and ride great.

I like em all. I dont have a favorite. Usually it was the

last coaster I rode so it would be the old CCI.
