TC, you also put GCI under Steel Company


What if your wooden company far surpasses your steel? Some of us enjoy the good old fashioned wooden coasters better than the steel ya know ;)

You should just open it up to all companies.

Well, not counting wood, theres only 3 real companies to choose from.

And 2 of those companies, they get all their work done from the SAME group of people who makes the rides WHAT THEY ARE. And thats Ingenieur B?????????ro Stengel GmbH, or, Werner Stengel, the head man. Hes responsible for the rides force, design, everything from supports to track shaping. B&M or Intamin have nothing to do with it except for the trains they build.

So really, between the 2, the designs you see come mainly from one company, and they design the track shape and support structures, using the companies designs of course, but ya know, I couldnt expect many to know that :P

Yes i did keep out wooden, but opening it to all companies would of left it very vaigue (whowa big words) and well really i dont know that. There is a big difference between BM and Intamin, B&M's are tame while Intamins have Big G's (NO B&M has +4.7 G's and as much -g's as Storm Runner [8D])
