Roller Coasters! (Woooo!)

So I'm watching Burt the Conqueror on Travel Channel and he was riding a wooden roller coaster, which leads to the ultmate coaster question...

What do you think is better, wooden or metal roller coasters?[Poll]

Re: Roller Coasters! (Woooo!)

  • My dad bruised a rib riding the Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas.  It got so bad that they tore it down this year.   The metal ones are so much smoother.

    But I've heard they've improved wooden roller coasters since the TG.  They're building a new wooded one to replace it, so ask again next year :) 

    I heart roller coasters.

  • I cannot ride coasters.  I would love to but since I had back surgery, it's a no-no.  I asked my doc about it and he said it wasn't a good idea since my spine is fused.

    But back when I COULD ride them, I liked the wooden ones.

  • I love Utah's Amusement Park! They have a very old wooden roller coaster that I adore, but I have to say it is a little painful. The metal ones are a lot smoother!
  • I'm a waterpark kind of girl. I prefer to be wet.

    Of course you would my dear! Lmao

    I like the metal, cuz they are smoother. I have back problems and don't like to be jerked around too much. I am now learning to be more careful. We went on the zipline in St Lucia, and I woke up the next day, in craploads of pain! And I really didn't feel like I did anything to deserve it. Ick... I hate being in my 20s and feeling like an old lady.

    We did the zipline in St Lucia too!  Afterward, I thought there was something wrong withe my hips lol.  Glad it wasn't just me.  Now I feel more normal!

     I prefer the metal ones for the smoothness, but the wood ones are usually classics, so Im kinda torn.

  • LOVE the metal ones! you can flign me around in all different directions, do 20 loops in a row, whatever, as long as i am strapped in tight and feel like the thing is actually controlled. the wooden ones are too bumpy for me and rickety for me to let go and enjoy myself on them.
