Naa. They always let their rides do the talking. They don't like to make a realy big deal about protoypes, they let everyone else do that. B&M is great because we say it's great. They don't hype it up! B&M coaster picture enclosed.

True, but it would be cool to see what they have to say about themselves. Or have a place where we could praise them endlessly. :)

What is the other site? And B&M could use an official website, it'd be great to see what they are thinking about next.

i agree totally
very well put kraken
i like the way that B&M doesnt hype up their coasters, but let their fans do it themselves.
B&M is great!
they make the best quality rides ever
they need no site to help make better quality rides, or put info on high quality rides on.
B&M keep up the great work!

It would be nice to know what they will do next and some other stats, like how they got started and things like that. Plus, you could talk to them about employment. Wouldnt that be awesome having all those different types of coasters and elements at your finger tips?

B&M is the most humble coaster company out there. I got nothing against Arrow(I love em!) but they praise themselves soooooo much! B&M makes great coasters but doesnt mention it. One time an ACE member asked me who made Raptor. I was so disgusted with them.

I've seen B&M on coaster shows (I don't remember the name of the show...but it was only one of both) I wanna know exactly how they got started (I know that <a href="http://www.coastergallery.com/2001/AW03.html">B&M used to work for Intamin</a> a looong time ago)

Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabbilard worked for Intamin in the late eighties. In 1990 they spilt. They developed their own version of the standup coaster with new track and trains, which worked so well Intamin used them. In 91 they made Vortex at great America. In 92 they made another Vortex, and more importandty, Batman: The Ride. The buisness took off from there.

B&M is too famous that it doesn't need a website, because every coaster fans know about it.

Even though I totally agree with that, they need to popularize and publicize themselves more by launching an official web-site. That would be SOOO awesome!

The unoffical site isn't bad. It has good info on the rides they made.

I do agree that some unofficial B&M coaster sites aren't bad at all. Here are two exceptional ones:

[url]http://www.coaster-network.com/bm/bm/[/url]
[url]http://bm.coaster-mania.com./[/url]

I think these sites deserves a lot of credit for displaying different B&M coasters around the world.
