Re: Wooden Hybrid Coaster for Silver Dollar City
Not over excited if this is remotely similar to Texas Giant, which demolished my extremely high expectations for it.
Lofty, I agree with you, but I also feel the entire reason they are doing the wood supports, steel rails is to give it a more "vintage" feel. There is something (in my opinion) much more intimidating staring at a mass of wood, than a few steel supports.

Intricks and Ethan,
What the hell are you talking about? Learn to read? tomahawKSU has shown nothing but enthusiasm for this coaster.
ZOMG if you're going to try and insult people, you need to get your s**t right to do it properly HERP DERP.
On topic, looks great / wonderful addition to the park etc.

So... can we safely say that this is no longer a rumor and get a move over to construction?

Re: Silver Dollar City |"Unknown"| Wooden Hybrid Coaster
I have a feeling this will be like a cross between Boulder Dash and The Beast where barely any of it is visible offride. I could see it having The Beast's length and Boulder Dash's twistiness. (Is twistiness a word? It needs to be.)

Heard some interesting things about this ride today.
All topper track, not NTG style track.

Re: Silver Dollar City |"Unknown"| Wooden Hybrid Coaster
Wait a minute, I thought NTG used the topper track? I thought topper track was just the new steel rails bolted onto a (possibly pre-exisiting) wooden structure.
I must have got it muddles, can someone explain the difference?

Re: Silver Dollar City |"Unknown"| Wooden Hybrid Coaster
^The way I understand it, the topper track isn't exactly a "track" in its own right. It's basically just a strip of metal that replaces the top layer of wooden track, in order to make a smoother ride.
NTG uses a completely steel track. The wooden supports are still used, but there's no wooden track left; it's all steel.
IF this new woodie is using topper track, it suggests that it will more of a "traditional" layout, as the steel will just be laid on top of a mostly wooden track. Essentially, it means the coaster should stay smoother for longer, while still looking and riding like a "true" woodie.

Re: Silver Dollar City |"Unknown"| Wooden Hybrid Coaster
^Oh I see, the topper track really is just a very slight extension of the normal wooden track. I agree with you about the layout then. That doesn't stop the "traditional" layout potentially being very good (looks at Boulder Dash ), but it seems like it's going to be used more for the maintenance/longevity of the ride instead of unlocking something insane.
Thanks Gavin!
