I just took some of the largest coaster parks in the nation and sorted their coasters by manufacturer. It's weird to see how some parks sway towards certain firms rather than and compared to others, and that not a lot of these parks go full circle in the industry to other firms rather than a select few. I don't know whether it is Arrow's long history in the industry, but a lot of the larger parks are home to a great number of them.

It has suprised me that more parks haven't jumped on the Intamin like Cedar Point has. That is one thing I love about CP is there connection with Intamin and the amazing rides they have been putting out.

I agree, it is suprising. After all Impulse and hyper/giga coasters are available to all other parks...

Well, I'm sure part of it is determined by cost vs. what the park is willing to spend, including what the manufacturer is willing to do (work with layout, construction / travel / shipping etc.). It's not unusual for large firms to have preferred clients and to possibly cut some better deals with them.

I'd like to see a new Intamin in Florida, preferably a hyper. It would add a little variety to our B&Ms. And I didnt know that there were 2 Six Flags parks with 4 B&Ms.
