They'll build what the park wants, providing the park pays for it. How is that lacking in innovation?

To me, B&M is very innovative and is the reason we have such QUALITY MADE steel coasters out there anymore.

Yea B&M is the big time!

I like the idea of a interlocking loop coaster but that does seem kind of Arrow'ish. We just need a coaster that catches not only the public eye but also coaster enthusiasts. Maybe a B&M sit-down with the worlds largest vertical loop? What is the record for that?

We really don't need a gimmick like that.
All we need is a really fun B&M looper that provides high pph and is extremely reliable and rerideable.

...But interlocking loops isn't a gimmick? Haha
I still would love a launcher, though.

I wasn't the one pushing for that.
I could care less if they interlock -- in fact I'd prefer them not to because that would limit the layout's potential.

That's all I'm saying.

I should clear this up - I'm not saying B&M doesn't make outstanding coasters, just that they go with what they know (and they do it beautifully). They aren't as willing to take big risks like Intamin takes. Granted, those risks often end up causing a lot of problems, but it's still innovation. Both companies do wonderful things, but B&M experiments with design and Intamin experiments with technology.

Dark ride and launch coaster are current leading.

Isn't Patriot a looper? I'd like something different.

A dark ride would be fun. I really like the one in St Louis.

I would (to a point) say that Intamin cuts corners a lot of the times.
I find it interesting that B&M has YET to have a coaster train derail OR chuck a passenger, yet Intamin has had LOTS of issues

I personally am not that into Dark Rides

zztop · « **Reply #101 on:** May 5, 2010, 05:33 »

i like dark rides as long as they are good and interactive, a bad one i will ride only once and be done with

Ben Dover · « **Reply #102 on:** May 24, 2010, 10:31 »

I cant believe dark ride is actually winning and beating second place by 14 votes

I'm all aboard for a dark ride if they got something like DarKastle but chances of that happening is slim to none.

well we can dream

I would love a dark ride. Anyone think a multiple ride package would be more beneficial than a roller coaster?

a nice sally dark ride plus a small flat would be nice

Swoosh · « **Reply #107 on:** May 31, 2010, 07:17 »

Why do you want a Sally ride that will require a lot of regular routine maintenance on effects that will eventually break down and may or may not get repaired/replaced?

I say invest the money on a high pph flat ride or coaster and be done with it.
A Sally ride will have very low pph and that's not something we need at WOF

2010 Haunt poll has been posted to the home page. Feel free to vote once a week.

Wow, Cornstalkers is tied with Asylum. Is it really that good to rival Asylum like that? Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Jason · « **Reply #110 on:** Jun 30, 2011, 08:01 »

Does anyone have any good ideas for a new poll?
