Colossos sports sexy Intamin wood trains

Sexy? Please tell me you're being sarcastic. I say forget the fiberglass 'box.' Viola! Intamin Floorless Trains.

Yes, those are completely sexy. *thumbs up*

Don't touch the watch.

Haha, Millennium Force style trains on a woodie. Go figure! Looks fun to me.

Question: Why can't designers make a wooden train that looks exactly like a steel train?

I may be seeing it wrong but it looks like there is a synthetic tire of some kind on the road and quide wheel. Anyone know for sure?

Answer: Don't Know

Lawnchairs on rollerskates!

We must get one of these coasters in the states, now! The first drop looks just as steep as some of Intamin's other recent coasters.

Georgeous structure!!! The fog added to it.

this ride looks sweet!

I dont know if notice this too!!

The rails are made all of the of steel, doesnt made of wood, so only the structure is wood, all the rest is a Steel Coaster!!

Keeping Coaster!!

Inatim Fan, we already have a hyper woody in the states. Its called Son of Beast, plus I think a lot of people in the states would complain about the OTSR.

You build it, I'll ride it...eventually

Juan Jose Rdz,
That is how most track for wooden coasters is built. Several layers of wood topped with a steel plate that is lubed up.

Im from Kansas, boy do we need some roller coasters in Kansas.

I deffinatly see Rubber on thoses wheels.......I also think that that the rails look like steel with steel plates bolted on top

I think those trains look ugly :( I guess they're using polyurithane(sp?) wheels instead of metal greased wheels, its still considered a woodie :)

Looks pretty much all wood to me
except the very top of the rails.

They look like folding chairs from a Friday night poker game at the local ELKS Lodge stuffed into a Buster Brown shoe box. They finally found something worse than the trains on SFMM's Colossus. Roll on PTC.
