Construction Design Companies

Can anyone give me a list or direct me to a site that would list the companies involved in roller coaster construction? Maybe some of the companies that have constructed some of Cedar Point coasters? Any information would be great.

You can either do a search on http://www.rcdb.com for coasters, the link for the manufacturer will be in the written info for each coaster. Or you can go to this link from the CoasterBuzz site: http://www.coasterbuzz.com/sites.htm?id=4 It lists all the coaster manufacturers there.

I know of the many different manufacturers of coasters, but what about the actual construction crew that builds the coaster. Are they part of the manufacturing company or a different company that specializes in roller coaster construction?

I think what happens is Cedar Point hires any construction company that is familiar with steel erecting, and is within the state of Ohio. From there the construction company is given the details of how the coaster should be built and shown the blueprints and they go from there. Someone help me out and tell me if that sounds right.

I think it sounds right but im only 13. :)

I think that is right. I am only 15. But I don't think the Adena Corporation has any relation to roller coaster manufacturing. Infact they are just a construction company. Here's their link www.adenacorporation.com

Not necessarily within the state of Ohio. When they topped off Dragster there was a Canadian flag on top as well as an American. I believe it was Jeff who said the reason for the Canadian flag was because the company who built it was from Canada. I also know there was a Canadian company involved in Power Tower. If you've seen the pdf showing some Power Tower construction pictures it lists a bunch of companies at the bottom and one is Atlas Tube, which is based outside of Windsor. I think that had more to do with the manufacturing rather than the assembly, though.
