@BobBarkerYeahThatOne Not always true, but most of the time it is. Viper at Six Flags Great America was the only coaster designed and manufactured by Six Flags Theme Parks Inc.
@MontagnaMagica MS was not considered a "true coaster" because it did not actually take all of its riders to 200+ feet. I have to say- that's not exactly fair, but MS was not official.
@jjjjentges The companies do manufacture the ride, but the design of the coasters are a two-way deal. It was Cedar Point's idea to build a 200 foot coaster. And track was made being bent and assembled in the park like it says in 0:27 . The park executives are the ones who pitch the ideas and give space estimates and land size requirements, with a lot of design contributions. Parks ("clients") work with the companies, and no single park (or chain) designs a coaster alone- including Six Flags.
Cedar Fair Didn't make the coasters, Magnum was designed by Arrow Dynamics. Millennium Force was designed by Intamin World Wide. Independent companys that design coaster for other park operators like Six Flags.
@musicxisxlifexx03 Yeah, national geographic has a strange way of making things sound much more dangerous than they really are.

Lol "The ride is basically about to fall to peices any day now, but that's what gives it it's character"

Moonsault Scramble was actually the first roller coaster to exceed 200 feet in height. It was located at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan.

Although millennium force is taller and faster, it feels sterile and lifeless compared to Magnum. . . Just like most technology.

Wow they reeeaaalllyyyy over-exaggerated this. The structure does not sway or shake. Give me a freaking break, it's not that bad. Stupid media.
