My favorite MJ tune: "Billie Jean" which I have been listening to alot now. RIP MJ.
It's about the track, not the structure, which you can't see in that photo.
In this photo you can see it is layers off wood covered with a layer of steel. That's what defines a wood coaster. There are many wood coasters whose structure is either partially or entirely made of steel.

I don't understand the confusion. The sign may say "made from wood," but in enthusiast terms, this is a steel coaster. I don't think there's any debate about that. It's no more a "wood coaster" than Gemini.

I don't know of any enthusiasts considering this a steel coaster. It's topper track, not Iron Horse.

It is definitely confusing. That's why I explained it in my earlier post. :-)

Either you don't know me, or I'm not an enthusiast, I suppose. :)

Its a plastic coaster. Duh. (:
No, Pipeline Express was a plastic coaster. (seriously)
My comment was, I hope everyone realized, simply a joke. An observation that in that one given picture, there was little, if any visible wood. I'm familiar with (but wasn't always) the different types of RMC track, but have actually only ridden NTG and Iron Rattler, with the steel track. (Also rode Hades 360, I'm not sure who converted that, but it's definitely wood.)
Ultimately, I don't care what it's made out of, just that I really want to ride it. But the construction of the lift and first drop remind me more of Fury and I305 than they do of any wooden coaster.
