What Manufacturers did Cedar Fair cut ties with, partially or completely? What manufacturers did they stick with?

I'm sorry if there's already a thread exactly like this.

We all know that Cedar Fair (now Six Flags) used to cut ties with Intamin, and we know why they did. But I want to know...

What other manufacturers did Cedar Fair cut ties with while it was still Cedar Fair, and WHY?

I also want to know, what manufacturers (besides Bolliger & Mabillard) did they continue to allow to build coasters?

Seemingly RMC. They got pissed after the Steve bump and structure issues. Railblazer has had some issues similar to the other single rails. Twisted Timbers has had issues related to loose articles. Shame really, there are some Cedar Fair woodies that were just itching for RMC to work their magic.

To also pump the brakes; this is 98% informed by enthusiast hearsay, rather than “official” announcement or indicator from park official’s mouth. Just because the chain hasn't built a GCI since 2017, for instance, doesn't mean GCI is crossed out as manufacturer option.

What Hyde said is accurate, that said, it seems RMC and Intamin are definitely off the table right now.

Cedar Fair never actually stuck the metaphorical middle finger to Intamin either, they just got pissed, and never bothered to go back. Based on three RMCs in one season then none after that, I am assuming the same happened.

I’d say that Gerstlauer is next, cause they only built one ride (that I know of), and that’s HangTime, at Knott’s. They haven’t built any since and I’m kinda thinking they just don’t want them anymore.

Wow, Cedar Fair seems really picky. Wonder if that’s going to change because of the merger.
