Jeff question for you. Why would they come through Montreal? Why not New York or Virginia, that way they would not have to hit customs in two spots, just one. Just curious.

That might be the shortest rout, if you ever fly to Europe and your watching the little map on the monitor you see that you fly north from new york all the way to canada then hang a right* to Europe.
Also with Intamin not shipping every part at the same time they may be just putting parts on ships that have room...multiple ships multiple destinations...whatevers cheaper.
just a guess

Well I haven't worked for a logistics magazine since 2001, but Montreal is a very convenient port because of the rail lines for one, and because of its inland nature for another. New York and Virginia are too far away, and I don't know if there are any direct rail corridors to points near Northern Ohio.

I know that it is designed mainly in Wollerau Switzerland, but where they are actually manufactured I am unclear on.

Arguing with a coaster enthusiast is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After a while, you realize the pig enjoys it.
I guess that makes sense with the rail lines in montreal, but as for the whole head up to canada and hang a right (or left whichever your preference) really wouldnt' work for a boat which does not react well to being on land.
