These rides are not made here. The US office is little more than a sales office.

Jeff, I know B&M has a fab shop in Ohio. But I for some reason thought Intamin (Intaride) Had a fab shop in the US as well.
I know all the meat and potatoes of the rides (drive systems and controls) were made in Europe, but I thought the started making the supports, track and other large weldments here (or at least sub-contract) to help keep freight costs down.

Edit: Upon further digging in the ol' internets, I have found that Intamin has its own freight company. Guess that is one way to cut down on cost when you are shipping hundreds of tons at a time.
B&M has their coasters fabricated by Clermont Steel Fabricators. But, it isn't their shop.

Intamin doesn't have a freight company... you're looking at a site that tracks imports.
