Most Ridden Manufacturer

[Tony]

My top 3 are:
B&M: 14
Intamin: 7
Vekoma: 7

So B&M for me

 

[Inverse]

^^ I think Mack will be surprisingly high on a lot of peoples lists, all those under-the-radar Wild Mouse...s (Wild Mice?) and Mine Trains as well as Europa Park.

Great topic, Inverse! Both interesting to read other posts as well as making you think about your own coaster count. Much better than the +1 topics that crop up and it's been goon free!

My predictions are that I've mostly ridden Vekoma coasters with Intamin second and Pinfari third. Although Arrow must be up there!

Overall, I reckon Vekoma will come out on top.

Sounds like a good way of chewing up an hour at work tomorrow, I'll do mine then.

 

[RCF]

Mack: 2
GCI: 1
B&M: 17
Schwarzkopf: 2

Vekoma: 5
Stengel: 1
Gerstlauer: 2

1. Vekoma
2. B&M
3. Intamin
4. Mack
5. Arrow
6. Pinfari

Sorry for getting that wrong.

I got bored today, and did my manufacturer count, with a sad result.

Pinfari isn't my most ridden ride maker.

Top ten:

1. Vekoma - 90
2. Pinfari - 78
3. Arrow - 45
4. Intamin - 43
5. Zamperla (inc Reverchon spinners) - 41
6. Zierer - 35
7. B&M - 34
8. Mack - 29
9. Schwarzkopf- 24
10. CCI/Gravity Group -22

I'm gutted. :lol:

(EDIT - forgot Southport. Phil's gonna kick the crap out of me. :lol: )

1. Vekoma - 90
2. Pinfari - 76
3. Arrow - 45
I'm gutted. :lol:

Gutted... bruised, battered, bludgeoned, cracked, broken and torn

Well I'm not in a wheelchair yet. (That's not a hint! )

What makes it worse is that out of all the Vekomas I've been on, 85 of them are still running.

4 of them have been relocated, 3 are standing but not operating, and only 2 of them have been wiped off the face of the Earth! :shock:

Maybe a good time to invest in some life insurance.

Here's my list with over ten coasters.

Vekoma - 42
Pinfari - 25
Zierer - 22
Arrow - 21
Intamin - 20
Mack - 17
B&M - 15
Schwarzkoph - 15
CCI - 15
Zamperla - 13
Gerstlauer - 12

I found that quite interesting and time consuming

 

[Ben]

I got to the Ks and my head started to bleed, I'll try and finish later, but, Pinfari and Mack are battling it out for first <3

 

[Tomatron]

I've probably ridden a few of those Meisho coasters in Japan but I can't be bothered finding out which ones they ware right now.

 

[Anonymous]

^ I think I got a few more than you, since I have been to Nasu Highland as well, and I got 14...

 

[Tomatron]

^You've probably been on the best one (Big Boom Coaster).

There's not many others that I can remember being that good - their shuttle loops are fun though.

 

[Gavin]

Just been having a proper geeky time going through the list. Going on a ten-or-more rating:

1. Vekoma - 41
2. Intamin - 25
3. Pinfari - 19
4. Zamperla - 18
5. Togo - 15
_ Meisho - 15
_ Beijing Shiboalai - 15
6. Arrow - 13
7. B&M - 12
8. Zierer - 11
9. Maurer - 10
_ Mack - 10

Yeah, I think I win on the Chinese knock off front.

 

[Inverse]

^haha, you certainly do. I'm glad you haven't ridden too many Chinese makes, I didn't know them to put on the list!

 

[Gavin]

^There's just two main ones really: Beijing Shibaolai and Golden Horse. They generally just rip off the designs of other companies.

Running down the list to 3,

B&M - 10 (or 11 if you count Duelling Dragons twice)
Vekoma - 10
Pinfari - 6
Maurer Sohne - 6
Zierer - 5
Mack - 5
Intamin - 4
Arrow - 4
Zamperla - 3
Reverchon - 3
Schwarzkopf - 3

Quite surprised how some of the lesser known companies quite high up on the list because of their popularity in the small coasters market. Zamperla, Zierer etc.

 

[andrus]

I only ride major rides hence i don't see the thrill in riding kiddie coasters. So I tied B&M and Intamin as my most ridden coaster companys. Couldn't vote on both though, so I voted B&M :lol:

 

[Mike]

I've just spent ages doing a tally, and my results are...

Other xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (34)
Vekoma xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (32)
B&M xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (23)
Arrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (20)
PTC/CCI xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (19)
Intamin xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (17)
Mack xxxxxxxxxxxxx (13)
Zierer xxxxxxxxxxxxx (13)
Miler xxxxxxxx (8)
Pinfari xxxxxxxx (8)
GCI xxxxxxxx (8)
Zamperla xxxxxxxx (8)
Gerstlauer xxxxxxx (7)
Schawzkopf xxxxxxx (7)
Maurer Söhne xxxxxxx (7)
Premier xxxxxx (6)
Morgan xxxxx (5)
Reverchon xxx (3)
Fabbri x (1)
S&S x (1)
(=238)

A few points:
-"Other" includes quite a large range of in-house manufacturers and quite a few "smaller" companies, or if RCDB was too vague I stuck a tally in there.

-Any coaster where the builder was PTC went into that column, even though the coaster may have been designed by another company. CCI have been stuck with them to show this (e.g- Boulder Dash)

-Annoyingly, I managed to miss 3 coasters somewhere.

-Racing/Duelling coasters have counted as multiple votes.

-Vekoma are =/.

That is all.

 

[CreditCrazy]

Arrow...with 19. Vekoma comes in second with 13, and B&M and Intamin tie for third with 12. I'm pretty sure I've ridden a lot of Miler kiddie coasters too, but I didn't bother counting.
