Branch Roller coaster manufacturer

Custom Coasters International (CCI) was a wooden roller coaster manufacturer. Founded in 1991 by Denise Dinn Larrick (daughter of roller coaster designer Charles Dinn, founder of Dinn Corporation ) and Randy Larrick, Custom Coasters International designed 34 wooden coasters, some of which are still very highly rated today. CCI roller coasters are known for their speed and dynamic performance.

CCI announced in 2002, during the construction of the New Mexico Rattler in Cliff's Amusement Park , insolvency on. After that, the half-finished roller coaster was handed over and the park had to finish building it on its own. Founder Denise Larrick went to S&S Sport to set up a wooden roller coaster division, while the other four designers (Larry Bill, Chad Miller, Korey Kiepert and Michael Graham) founded The Gravity Group in 2002 . The other roller coaster designers Dennis McNulty and Mike Boodley left CCI before the company went bankrupt. Boodley then founded Great Coasters International with Clair Hain .
