I started to answer a question in this topic
Mine is either Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster, Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter, B&M Invert, or Vekoma Swinging Invert (at least I think that's who designed that). But enough about me, how about you?
coasterforce.com
but then far too late realised I'd gone completely off the rails and was answering this one instead, which I've had to dig up.
Justification is that I guess it would be good to get some 2020 opinions on this, see how things have changed, but here's what I was going to say anyway:
My heart says Gravity, which I'm happy to see have already had several mentions in the other thread (the fact that they only really have 1 coaster 'type' is what led me astray).
My head says RMC (again, only really 1 official type).
Let's see what the computer says.
The tricky thing about this with my spreadsheet in its current state is that Steel, Wood and Combined are ranked in different ways.
Steel is done from 1-19, followed by groupings of 20, 30, 40 & 50.
Wood is done from 1-76
Combined is only 1-30 or 50ish depending on how I feel.
So if you want to include the full sample size of everything that manufacturer has put out - have the weak stuff dragging it down, then we can only look at steel and wood individually.
Steel
I've filtered out any manufacturers with less than 5 rides to my name.
| Manufacturer | Steel Count | Steel Average |
| RMC | 8 | 10.75 |
| B&M | 66 | 22.64 |
| S&S | 15 | 24.93 |
| Intamin | 69 | 28.88 |
| Premier | 9 | 28.89 |
| Gerstlauer | 45 | 29.56 |
| Meisho | 8 | 31.25 |
| Togo | 15 | 31.33 |
| Mack | 79 | 31.79 |
| Schwarzkopf | 15 | 32.67 |
Just for reference on steel, a 30 grouping is basically 'worth a ride on a revisit' and a 40 is 'not worth that', so only 6 manufacturers sit on the right side of 'everything they do is at least rerideable.'
It's an interesting result to say the least. Gerts, Meisho and Togo you say? I like it.
Pains me to see Mack down there, but that's the power of filler rides.
Wood
Applied the same rule of minimum 5 rides for wood, so we've only got a top 5 here. Not much interesting going on underneath that other than RMC winning with an average of 9.00, but Wildfire bugs me so the result isn't canon for now.
| Manufacturer | Wood Count | Wood Average |
| Gravity Group | 13 | 15.92307692 |
| GCI | 19 | 29.94736842 |
| Intamin | 6 | 32.17 |
| CCI | 6 | 40.83333333 |
| PTC | 8 | 54.25 |
The fact that Intamin made woodies other than the prefabs is potentially keeping them below GCI here.
Initially this was bothering me, but because I spend so much time moaning about them I had somehow forgotten that GCI hold 2 spots in my overall top 10. Filler isn't prevailing here just yet.
Combined
If you want to see who frequents the top the most, regardless of how much other rubbish they make, we can look at combined.
Feel like going with the full 50ish ranks even though it's very woolly at the lower end, because it gives us an exact top 10.
Minimum 5 rides for the manufacturer still applies, but obviously they don't have to be within the scored list.
| Manufacturer | Combined Count | Combined Average |
| RMC | 10 | 17.60 |
| Intamin | 75 | 23.10 |
| S&S | 16 | 25.00 |
| Mack | 79 | 25.17 |
| GCI | 19 | 28.80 |
| Gravity Group | 13 | 29.50 |
| Premier | 9 | 32.00 |
| B&M | 66 | 32.67 |
| Gerstlauer | 46 | 33.00 |
| CCI | 6 | 49.00 |
Here I was initially uncomfortable with Intamin being that high. The inherent tease in me was immediately saying nah... Taron ain't that good.
I tragically forgot that they made other rides and that some hold 3 spots (the most of any) in my overall top 10.
Not having the full statistical population does favours to GCI here, moving them up above Gravity. That's the damage of not including the filler.
Mack finally shine a bit more but narrowly miss out on the top three. Making a top 5% ride for me is actually harmful with this method, so I need to go away and do better.
TL;DR - It's RMC isn't it.
