1996-2002 – Wooden Coaster Resurgence

In the early 90’s, a company called Custom Coasters International (CCI) started to build wooden roller coasters. Using modern technology, they revisited the olden, steep, twisted designs of the 1920’s. Suddenly people were very interested in wooden coasters again thanks to woodies like The Raven at Holiday World in Indiana, USA; Megafobia at Oakwood Park in Wales, UK; Tonnerre de Zeus at Parc Astérix in France; Shivering Timbers at Michigan’s Adventure, USA; Medusa at Six Flags Mexico; and Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce in Connecticut, USA.
