Will B&M join forces with Intamin again?

Now, we all know that B&M broke away from Intamin, but will we ever see these two powerful forces join once more? I think so, what do you all think?

Why would they? They have their own agendas. But never say never.

I wouldn't think so...but who is to say? I think they both went their own jolly ways and seem to be doing fine. Maybe they will team up on something big in the future?

Who was at BGW on April 28th.

I would love to see them get together again to build the world's first Teracoaster or bigger.

I don't see it happening, and I don't want it to happen. Werner Stengel is creating some of the best coasters out there for Intamin (see Millennium Force).

Intamin Fan, Werner Stengel is creating coasters for B&M too, don't forget. He is not affiliated with a specific designer.

I hate to get technical, but Son of Beast is an Intamin woodie; it's just that it was built by RCCA, which therefore they took credit. I'm NOT sure about this but this came from a friend of mine who "supposedly" knows Werner.

The Jet Coaster ROARS!

I don't think that's correct, The Jet Coaster. Sure, Stengel designed it, but he does not work for Intamin. He works with them all the time, but also with B&M, Premier, Zamperla, etc.

He designs rides for all kinds of manufacturers as stated before. He designed three of the biggest scream machines of 2000--MF, Goliath, and SOB. He is not affiliated with a specific company.

*I KNOW* that Stengel designs for any company, but I said that Intamin was hired to do the coaster and Intamin hired Stengel to design it and hired RCCA to build it.

The Jet Coaster ROARS!

I wouldnt mind seeing Intamin designing a LIM launch system for a B&M coaster.

a couple questions. When were they together, when did they seperate, and what coasters did they build together?

I *THINK* they are the Intamin standups like the one at SFAW. Or was that Gio?

-------------
The Jet Coaster ROARS!

The Intamin stand-ups (Shockwave, La Cobra etc..) were supcontracted to Gio not B&M although do look like B&M coasters. Also the restraints on these coasters are awful.

I doubt it. Because B&M are almost as big as Intamin as far as Big company,So proboly not . *** This post was edited by TITAN_FAN_13 on 6/4/2001. ***

Perhaps if the market were to slow down. But it seems there is still enough work to go around.
