What if a Car Manufacter got into making Roller Coasters??

[Pablo237]

Like Honda Coasters or Toyota Coasters??

Do you think that would be kind of cool??

Maybe Mitsubishi Coasters??

Do you think they would have a chance in the Roller Coaster Industry??

 

[CMonster]

No, probably not.

I hope Peugeot don't, it would retire after 38 laps...

Any particular reason you've given 100% Japanese examples?

I can't think of any conceivable reason why they would even consider it. Why move away from what you're good at (car manufacture) to start something completely new, with no experience of the design of coasters or the industry to which you'd be selling.

Sure, a fair few coaster manufacturers started out as something else and branched into coasters, but to go into that from car manufacture doesn't make much sense at all to me.

That's not to say I wouldn't jump at the chance to ride something they would come up with; it's just not ever happening.

No, probably not.

This really doesn't make sense to me. It would be like asking "What if Goodyear started making toasters? Would you buy one?"

 

[OfficialAltonTowers]

Or they would just mass produce crap, *cough* Vekoma *cough*,

In short, no i do not think it would be cool, or that any car manufacturer would be even the slightest bit interested in starting rollercoaster design or manufacture,

Yes, this is a dumb topic. Gavin has summed everything up perfectly. I'm locking this now. Sorry.
