Will woddies ever have same elements as steel?????

A Floorless... no

A Flying Dutchman... no

A 4th Dimension... no

Do you really think it's POSSIBLE for those kinds of elements on a woodie?

"Duff Man Says... Ohhh Yeah!"
Current Favorite Coasters:
1)Raging Bull 2)Millennium Force 3)Medusa (SFMW) 4)Vertical Velocity (SFGAm) 5)Dueling Dragons (Ice)

Add "Stand Up" to that list too, Stealth. Sure, it MIGHT happen, but would you really want to ride it?!?! I wouldn't because I still would like to walk. Just go ride a stand up steel.

FURY: Cooming soon...
I once again find myself asking myself "Why do people want to mutilate woodies?"

Really, why? I, along with most other people, look for woodies to have airtime, headchoppers, roughness, and plenty of up and down. And for steel, most people look for (if it isn't a hyper) inversions, incredible speed, height, and different kinds of rides (inverted, sit down, stand up, floorless, flying, 4D)

Why would anyone in their right mind want to mutilate the perfect coaster genre? I'm fine with the existance of SOB, but really, did they need to throw in that loop? Why not throw in an extra hill instead? Loops=wood=ugly. Loops=steel=awesome.

Hey, SFGAm management, can I buy a couple cages of Sky Whirl?

The only practical way to build the structures for complex inversions is to build the frame and a spine in steel as was done on SOB.  Once you've done that, steel track  is going to be more econmical than wood.  I don't think that parks are going to spend extra money to have wood track.  Remember, on SOB it's relly just a gimmic involve only a small protion of the coaster that doesn't have conventional wood construction.
Wooden coasters could easily match the height of some of todays hypercoasters. It would require some steel, but doing a raging bull would be easy with wood..
