thread_title:  AG ? 

message: This is the Public impressions section as it currently reads, along with my comments about it.
"Whatever can be said about their safety record Intamin AG is an unbalancing force in the roller coaster industry. As of the 2006 amusement park season they are the considered the "top dog" of their industry, landing the largest contracts and the clients with the highest profiles." - source?
"Due to their prolific status they enjoy both an abundance of fanfare and resent. Amongst those knowledgeable about roller coaster manufacturers there are those who swear by Intamin coasters as if they were the stuff of legends, conversely you have those who speak of a need to return to roots and their desire for the more traditional amusement park roller coasters and flat rides." - source?  And what about coaster enthusiasts who prefer B&Ms?
"The obvious conclusion is that Intamin AG has brought about a new generation of roller coaster." - I would remove this sentence.  "Obvious" is an insult to readers; please see Wikipedia:Words to avoid#Of course, naturally, obviously, clearly, actually and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
"They have advanced the manufacturing process, structural strength and ease of construction. These technological strides have lowered the cost and risk of building scream machines that appear to defy the laws of physics." - "defy the laws of physics" is dubious; an earlier header in this talk page addressed that.
"The ground breaking advancements they have made in the fundamental design are blurring the line further between thrill rides and roller coasters built for thrills. In an industry that was stuck in the same design for over twenty years making only small advancements, the ground shaking developments put forth by this risk taking company are tremendous and as a result are making it very hard for their competitors to keep up." - "ground shaking", "tremendous", "hard for their competitors to keep up" - POV.  Also see Bolliger & Mabillard and Huss Maschinenfabrik for other manufacturers whose works is very much in demand by major theme parks right now.
"In less than ten years (since 1997) this company has put a lot of ground between themselves and their nearest competitor. So whether it is for admiration or disrespect you cannot recognize the company properly without recognizing their accomplishments." -  These sentences should be removed. Don't address readers in the second person, and don't discount the competition.
In summary, this section is currently poorly sourced and has a rather extreme Intamin fan (or employee) POV, when it should be written neutrally and with reliable sources to back up everything that it says. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 17:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Public impressions section needs sources and NPOV 

message: Maybe there should be a section on what types of roller coasters Intamin makes (named as it's title on the official website is), what they are like, examples of one, etc. Theguywhohatestwitter (talk) 00:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Despite popular belief and perhaps some online articles, Junior Gemini was not Intamin's first roller coaster. Like the Schwarzkopf and Giovanola coaster's that were sold before it, Junior Gemini was sub-contracted and built by another company. Unfortunately I don't yet have documentation to support this. I discussed the matter with Sasha Czibulka at the 2015 IAAPA Expo in Orlando. He told me that Lethal Weapon formerly at Movie Park Germany, was the first coaster that Intamin built within its own facilities. Unfortunately first-hand knowledge is not a suitable source. In the mean time, I would appreciate it if other editors would stop listing Jr. Gemini as first. Eventually I will find (or create) a suitable citation.—JlACEer (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
