Favorite and least favorite manufacturer

[Screaming Coasters]

Fav: Vekoma
Least: Hmmm, newer B&M's? maybe thats a bit far.. I'll go for Pinfari.

The only reason I believe Vekoma gets a bad rep is because most of the coasters people ride from them are pre 1990's when they were following the old Arrow technology and shaping. Nowadays, Vekoma are glass smooth and deliver huge ass thrills.

New B&M coasters bore me to tears.. Don't need to explain why, I've made my views clear before, however, they don't lose for me. Pinfari can GO AWAY!!!!!!!!

^ SLCs? Some are fine, but the majority are far from glass smooth.

Space Mountain Mission 2? Similar to Arrow track I guess, but certainly not "old". It's vile.

Massive thrills? I could count on one hand and have fingers to spare.

I agree with you to an extent that their reputation is somewhat undeserved, but there are plenty of horrendous, newer coasters out there.

Kumali? Jubilee Odyssey? Battlestar Galactica (which is so rough it fell apart)?

Their Mine Trains are fantastic, beyond that? Motorbike coasters are pretty good, but beyond that?

Shambalha seems to be getting good reviews in terms of "force", but yeah, they do seem neutered. They're in "unremarkable" or "fun" territory now, but is that market forces at work?
