I like Arrow a lot. I bet everybody did 7 years ago. I have a feeling that Arrow is going to be sweet with that Arrowbatic cosaster that I read about on thrillride.com. Of course B&M will always rule and Werner Stengal is pretty cool. (How is that spelled?)

How can you find B&M coasters boring??

I'd have to say Bill Cobb, Giovanola and Arrow.
P.S.: The only tie between Giovanola and B&M is that Walter and Claude worked for them until 1988. Intamin used Giovanola to design and manufacture their rides until 1996 ( the only thing Intamin was stick their label on it ).

I find B&M coasters to be boring because to me it seems like I'm riding in a car. Not a roller coaster car but just a regular old car.
But I do love B&M Inverted costers. They are defintely the best on the market.

I think GRL has a good point about B&M coasters. I have always felt that they are TOO smooth. For most people, this is a good thing, but I think a coaster should feel like it is a little bit out of control. A B&M coaster is a little too precise. Not that they aren’t fun rides, but not the best, IMO.
With that said, my favorite manufacture is probably Arrow. They might not be the leaders today, but they have created a lot of good coasters they have been providing thrills for many, many years.

I'm gonna have to say:
1. B&M (Inverts only) All other B&M's are too smooth and bulky. You don't feel "open" enough in their cars. (Except for the front cars of the inverts). I really don't care for their standups either. Except for SFMM's Riddler.
2. Summers. I love a good woodie and MS / SFMM's Psyclone are my favorites.
3. Arrow. I like how rough a lot of their coasters are.

Def. B+M or Intamin. B+M makes tha best inverteds around. right now Dueling Dragons(ice) is my top Inverted coaster. Other b+M faves are Hulk, Medusa, Ridlers, and Chang.
Intamin of course makes the best hypers. MF, Superman: RoS, other good intamins are superman the escape

I love CCI. They make the best wood, and wood is the best. B&M is right behind them, because their rides are always fun, and innovative.
