I keep wondering about that myself. Those extra couple of feet seemed to cost more than all of Millenium Force! Maybe it was the oversees shipping...

Well, I'll throw out my standard comment, since no one else ever uses it:
I don't know how much it affects the bottom line, but aren't Japanese coasters required to have catwalk along the entire length of the coaster? And SD2K is pretty long, too...

I don't think there is a walk along the whole track, but there are some maintenance access places (for inspection, I assume).
I suspect the real expense on Steel Dragon was making it resistant to earthquakes. Look at how dense that structure is compared to, well, compared to any steel coaster in the states.

And didn't that raise the cost of Ghostrider quite a chunk, too? That makes perfect sense.

Check out Morgan's site ( http://www.dhmorgan.com ). In almost all the pictures I see of Steel Dragon, it does, indeed, have catwalk along most of the ride. The only places I don't see the walkway is on areas low enough to the ground that a ladder could probably be used to get people down.
Again, though. I don't know how much it would affect the bottom line. Hell, I don't even know if I'm right. ;)
