Do you like coasters that launch you at high speeds, or traditional coasters that bring you up the lift hill slowly? Wood vs metal?
My only claim to fame is riding Kingda Ka (tallest coaster… is it still the tallest), don’t know that much about coasters except that they’re fun!
Not exactly the case. Wooden coasters can actually outlast a steel coaster if it’s properly maintained. Unfortunately, at least in the US, the problem is that most parks don’t care enough to maintain the wooden coasters. There are shining examples of what a wooden coaster should be like (Phoenix at Knoebels, Mystic Timbers at Kings Island, any of the woodies at Holiday World or Kennywood) but they are the exception to the rule sadly.
The biggest thing is that wooden coasters are fairly easily to replace wood on while replacing steel can be more complicated.
