Wood or Steel?

[mouse]

Which is best?

 

[Ben]

Neither is best?

My number 1 is a Woodie though.

 

[dominoes]

I really like steel, but wood is pretty scary with airtime. I can't decide...

 

[Snoo]

Both are good.. but #1, #2, #5, #6, #9, and #10 happen to be wood in my Top 10.. so I do have an affinity for the tree made affairs.

 

[Venom2053]

I like riding both but, I'd ride a steel over a woodie

 

[tomahawk]

#1, #4, #6 and half of #2.

Wood.

 

[Hixee]

^But surely that would suggest that Steel is better, on average?

 

[Colossus]

Steel at the moment for me as there`s only 1 woodie in my top 10, but if you ask me again next year that could be different as I have some serious tree on my 2012 planner.

 

[Kebab]

This is really difficult! I don't know!?

Woodie's tend to be more fun and air-time packed, however steel coasters seem more dynaminc and modern... :?

I choose steel, because it can do what a woodie does, plus so much more.

To be fair.. he hasn't ridden anything good besides Voyage and TG.

Steel Dominates my top ten, so I have to say that. I can add that wood is an experience on it's own and can be surprisingly smooth.

Steel for me, woodies are good for airtime otherwise they are just too ruff

 

[jayjay]

I've only ridden one wooden coaster that I would rate as very good (Megafobia). If I get out of the country a bit more, then I might rank woodies a lot higher, but for now, steel.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Six of my top ten are wooden: Voyage, El Toro, Ravine Flyer II, Beast, Phoenix, and Prowler. The first three are actually my top three so yah, it's pretty obvious I prefer wooden coasters!

 

[michaellll]

Woodies are just fun. It just feels right.

 

[Jake]

Neither, it's all about the Papier-mâché <3.

Wood or Steel

I searched and didn't find a topic on this yet so I thought I'd start one


Wood or Steel. Which kind of coaster do you prefer?

I personally like steel as I get nauseous fairly easy and the smooth rides help me stay puke free

Re: Wood or Steel

You can just do so much more with steel.

Re: Wood or Steel

Steel.

That's purely down to the fact that I haven't ridden enough wooden coasters to say otherwise, however, I can see my preference narrowing itself down a bit once I've got a few good woodies under my belt.

Re: Wood or Steel

Im going to have to go with steel on this one. I do love a good wooden coaster, such as Phoenix (Knoebles) and Lightning Racer (HP), but as owenrita said, there is just so much more freedom with design on a steel coaster.
