The reason Intamin isn't as hyped, is because it's only been in the last few years that they've started to make some outstanding coasters. Millennium Force also went along way in changing peoples minds about the company. Afterall, if CP picked them to make their premier coaster, then that says a lot. Once more of their designs pop up at various parks, you'll be hearing more hype. ------------- Batwing-Bow Down
I think that Intamin hasn't been hyped because they've been changing their style. only recently have they used the two, three, and four rail tracks. with them being so diverse, no one can tell what is an Intamin just by looks.
they do make great rides. only I thought that S:ROS was mediocre(sp?). it basically stuck to the ground and repeated itself whereas Raging Bull, the only other hyper I've ridden, had high-flying turns and twists and kept you on your toes(so to speak).
as for Iron Wolf being bad. yeah, it was bad. I mean B&M just started off bad and got worse. and they still make horrible piles of dung! I honestly don't understand why people like them so much. I haven't ridden Vortex, but since it has a simillar lay-out I could guess that it sucks too. btw, don't you hate getting paid for work? I much rather volenteer my time. and I also hate pants. don't you hate pants?!

I think intamin is better than b&m... due to all of their box-type rides.

Was Flashback built by Intamin? ------------- Riddler's Revenge-Can You Stand It?
Flashback and Batman are notorious as being rough Intamins.
Shockwave (Drayton) is also considered... if not rough than somewhat brutal.
Am. Eagle, Disaster Transport, etc have been disappointing, but not poorly engineered.
Intamin DID build American Eagle.

Well, according to a reliable source. "cough"webmaster"cough" CP approached B&M first for MF. B&M refused because they didnt want to construct something that tall.
