Rare Manufacturer Credits
Schwarzkopf
Vintage German manufacturer — most of their coasters have been removed. Three credits is notable.

ART Engineering
Small Utah-based manufacturer known for extreme vertical drops. Cannibal held the steepest drop record on its debut.
CCI
Custom Coasters International folded in 2002. Their remaining rides are rare survivors of a defunct era.
RMC Focus
6 RMC credits · Strong RMC portfolio — four I-Box wood conversions and two ground-up builds. Lightning Rod is RMC's first ground-up wood coaster and one of the most acclaimed in the world.

Observations
Kay's credit list reads like a greatest-hits tour of the East Coast enthusiast circuit. B&M leads at 18 credits — nearly unavoidable given how many iconic parks rely on B&M as their flagship hardware. Intamin follows at 12, a strong showing given their reputation for intensity (Skyrush, Millennium Force, Kingda Ka). Arrow's 11 credits reflect a deep bench of classic steel from the park golden age of the 70s–90s. The RMC count (6) is impressive for a casual list and signals that she's hit the right parks at the right time. Three Schwarzkopf credits are a genuine rarity — those machines are disappearing fast. ART Engineering and CCI appearances round out a diverse portfolio that goes well beyond the expected.
