Why not Disney Imagineers or Universal whatevers?

Love their work the best!

While Imagineering and Universal Creative are responsible for designing the basic concepts for their coasters, especially the thematic elements, the coasters themselves are built by established coaster manufacturers: Expedition Everest and Rock and Roller Coaster - Vekoma, Revenge of the Mummy - Premier, Dueling Dragons and Hulk, B&M.

How do I love B&M? Let me count the ways...
Montu, Kumba, SheiKra, Alpengeist, Apollo's Chariot, Griffon, Incredible Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Kraken, Diamondback, Great White, Great Bear, Mantis, Raptor, Goliath, and all the various Batmen...

From Anthony Murphy on November 27, 2009 at 11:11 AM
True, I will remember the Universal Creative thing in the future.

Anyway, I voted for B&M because I can name a whole bunch of their roller coaster. Vek gets a no vote from me because of their Deja Vu fail at SFGA and Mack's representative that I have met was not very nice!

I still probably vote for B&M

I was inclined to vote for B&M like everyone else but without GCI the coaster collection at my local park (Worlds of Fun) would be really passé. So, thank God for Great Coasters International and the Prowler!

What, no Rip, Ride, Rockit fans?

I love so many different coasters for so many different reasons. However I have to give my vote to Intamin for setting the gold standard with Millennium Force. I cringe at the day when that coaster is no longer operational. I will agree with the other posters that there were some outstanding hits this year. GCI rocked our socks with Prowler, not to be missed @ night. B&M did not disappoint with both Diamondback and Manta

Well, I don't think a lot of people have been on it. But I love that ride!!! I rode it like 5 days after it opened.

I am most thankful for Great Coasters International! ...not just for their coasters, but for being a great group of people as well.

From Robert OGrosky on November 27, 2009 at 4:09 PM

With there great smooth coasters, they cant be beat!!!

I've got to go for the Gravity Group for one simple word...Voyage!

[the now bankrupt] Arrow would have my vote solely because of Cedar Point's Magnum. Since S&S purchased Arrow, that's where my vote goes.

From Will Chilcote on November 28, 2009 at 12:15 PM
I would like to add Disney's in-house coaster designers. They have created some of my favorite coasters.

I'm also a fan of Arrow. The Loch Ness Monster is still one of my favorites.

Intamin, they make most of my favourite coasters, and push the boundaries.

we love the Griffon
