TTD Down this week?
Honestly! It's summer. Go outside.
Without going into the whole Intamin vs B&M debate, I do think the same thing can be said about Intamin taking other ideas, then changing things around a bit.
As for B&M not building anything that gigantic, I don't see why they wouldn't. Perhaps a park simply has never asked them to build a 420-foot tall coaster yet. If the chance was there, I do believe they would try and tackle it, but I am sure it would come with a hefty price tag.
Oh, and cool user name by the way. =:^)

Dreamtheatre: Are you sure Vekoma came out with the suspended before B&M came out with the inverted? The only coaster I remember where you rode under the track before B&M was the Arrow suspended (AKA Iron Dragon or Top Gun at PKI).
My favorite MJ tune: "Billie Jean" which I have been listening to alot now. RIP MJ.

DreamTheater said:
well, Intamin has proven to be reliable with a few exceptions.
LOL! That's the funniest comment of the day. There are *few* Intamin coasters that haven't had reliability problems.
Intamin is also one of the only companies that is fairly successful with the new coasters they introduce. B&M doesn't push the limits, come up with new designs, nor are that creative.
Yeah, you're right. The inverted coaster was not innovative or original at all. And even pushing that aside, what does it matter? I'd take B&M's dependability and reliability any day over Intamin's revolutionizing.
Vekoma invented suspended and B&M simply made it better.
Uh, no. Arrow Dynamics invented the suspended coaster, and the inverted coaster is radically different. Again, if you want reliability, Intamin is obviously not the company of choice.
