Who builds roller coasters?

Roller coasters are typically designed and built by engineering firms that specialize in amusement ride design and construction. These firms employ a team of engineers, architects, and other professionals who work together to create detailed plans and specifications for the coaster. The actual construction of the coaster is then carried out by a construction company that has experience in building amusement rides. The construction process can be complex and time-consuming, and it can take several months or even years to complete a new roller coaster.

Some of the companies that are involved in the design and construction of roller coasters include:

* Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M)

* Intamin Amusement Rides

* Vekoma Rides Manufacturing

* Gerstlauer Amusement Rides

* Maurer Söhne

* Premier Rides

* The Gravity Group

These companies are responsible for many of the most famous and iconic roller coasters in the world, including the Steel Dragon 2000 at Nagashima Spa Land in Japan, the Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Ohio, and the Superman: Escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California.
