TOGO International
TOGO is well known for their terrible coaster design. This does not exclude their hypercoasters. They were
the first to design an inverting hypercoaster, Manhattan Express. Currently they are being sued by Knott's Berry
Farm for their work on Windjammer (non-hypercoaster).

Premier Rides
Premier Rides are well known for their LIM launched coasters. Their first ride was the Outer Limits: Flight Of Fear at Paramount's Kings Dominion and Kings Island. Even though they don't design hypercoasters, they have designed many 200+ foot LIM shuttle coasters such as Mr. Freeze and Speed: The Ride.
But many of you may be wondering why I have included Premier. Premier designed and manufactured wooden hypercoaster trains.

Premier Rides Trains
Premier Rides Hyperwoodie trains are very similar to Arrow and DH Morgan. They are three row six passenger trains. These train's wheels connect above, below, and inside the wooden track. Premier Rides trains feature ratcheting lapbar restraints, which are unusual on hyperloopers.
