The end of B&M is coming?
Correct, they would be happy with a Gerstlauer infinity...

I am saying with parks being more fiscally responsible they will go with companies that will give them more bang for their buck. B&M is overpriced handily for what you get. The GP just sees a cool new ride for 10-15 million or 25+ million.

Intamin(a superb company) is not relevant in this thread.

The end of B&M is coming?
The premise of the post is that parks coming out of the pandemic buying rmc, gerstlauer, vekoma, intamin, etc will see that there is no reason to purchase an overpriced b&m. If they could at least innovate their track/support design that would knock off alot of cash.

Key words is "last decade". Let's see how many they build in the next 10 years....

?. I don't know of any hype for Emperor. I know there's hype for jersey devil, pantheon, velocicoaster, iron gwazi, icebreaker, stunt pilot, etc.

My bad, that's fallen off the radar. Makes you wonder when a family coaster at SEAS Orlando is more talked about than your b&m dive at SEAS San Diego.

This is relevant here because Cedar Fair has said so themselves investments in experiences and lower costs attractions...

A certain park in florida tore down two b&m's to make room for two new Intamins. Just saying...

They can't even innovate enough to have lap bars on looping coasters like all the other manufacturers. The best they got are those dreaded vests, didn't vekoma beat them to the punch with those?

@jsusI was pretty concise with my thoughts...

The end of B&M is coming?
Parks are not going to be willing to spend 20+ million on attractions coming out of the pandemic. Even Cedar Fair b&m's largest US client is saying they will invest in experiences and smaller scale attractions. Gerstlauer, Vekoma, RMC, and even Intamin have budget coasters that beats the socks off on a 20+ million b&m. Kondda at walibi belgium cost under 16million USD, that is remarkable. A vekoma Bermuda blitz like Lech Coaster costs under 10 million usd. The only comparable costs b&m is a junior dive coaster and they are short rides but probably better than their counterparts like valravyn/Yukon striker. I see a lot of Gerstaluer infinity, RMC raptors, Intamin hyper & hot racers coming to parks around us sooner than later. Thoughts?

Masks???
a surgeon does heart surgery with a simple mask for over 10 hrs. There is really no reason a person cannot wear a mask. It is mental imo.

What is the best Kings Island Coaster?
I feel they are all supporting coasters with some better than others obviously. We have yet to get a standout ride since Beast IMO.

Kentucky Kingdom
There's really no reason for KK to stay open later besides burning operating expenses. CP used to be open till 11 every day in the summer but shaved it down to 10pm several years ago.
