Wooden Roller Coasters

Steel coasters offer a smooth and dynamic ride. These rides not only feature steep drops but also make it possible to do loops, corkscrews and all kinds of inversions.
Within the steel coaster category, you’ll find floorless, stand-up, and inverted coasters (on which riders hang beneath the track in suspended seats). How you ride these coasters can totally change the ride experience! It’s one thing to go upside down, seated comfortably; it’s quite another to do it lying down or standing up!
