Do you Know in the future

I would be very surprised to see an Intamin-anything. MF, WT, and TTD have all been maintenance and down-time nightmares. If I were CP, I'd be very reluctant to go with Intamin again until they can prove they can make more reliable rides.

I agree with HoosierTTD, I don't think that CP will be building any more Intamin coasters for a while. But it is still possible and if they do I can garantee you that it won't be a new concept. I am thinking that they would get something from Arrow/S&S they have pretty good records.

Yea know, I just thought that CP might consider getting an S&S woodie, they have a steel structure so they may require less fiddling with in the morning.

If you know what I mean...

A hybrid wooden coaster (i.e. steel supports with a wood track) wouldn't be a terrible idea for CP. They have a few advantages, including what Screamomatic says: less wood=less maintenance intensive/increased consistency and reliability.

A steel-frame could mean a lot of other things, too. For one, it could be a taller and steeper coaster (such as The Voyage), while minimizing the footprint. Space constraints are why Indiana Beach's 2 woodies are hybrids. CP's space limitation isn't quite as severe as IB (where attractions are literally stacked on top of each other), but at the same time, they don't need to be wasting room, either.

I wonder what the Lemon Chill guys have to say? ;-)

Wait, theirs more then one of them ;)

Wood.

Of course there is more than one Lemon Chill guys often times people confuse them for the Dippin' Dots guys. ;-)

Look at El Toro at Great Adventure, it looks amazing and it's all wood and made my Intamin. If you're going to make a wooden coaster, make it out of wood.

Yawn.

Sneeze.

Burp.

*shaking head*

Fart.

Yep, I went there.

^That means you are all wierd^ Anyway, If there are 'high up' people reading this, no one thing...

Don't get an Intamin Wooden Coaster, they arn't very good... with exception being Balder.

S&S or a Gravity Group Woody is the way to go... unless your planning on getting a steel coaster, which then I don't care what you do.

Wazzat? *sniffle* Gorram 10 month Canadian Winters

Wow.... 10 month winter, where are you, Nunavut?

Anyway, I wasn't saying it has to be an Intamin woodie, I was just using El Toro as an example.

Vince, its that stupid metric system you guys use. ;)

You know it John, it always comes down to that.

BLAME CANADA :)

Lol, no, not Nunavut, I'm at T.O. and actually the winter has been kinda non-existent for the past... er... since it started... believe it.
