Actually, The Beast will be breaking its own length record when it opens back up in May, after the retrack, and reprofiling of the first drop is done. So technically, the longest wooden coaster record is zero years old? Gravity Group is making it 2' longer with the steeper 1st drop, and easier pull out. I wonder if Gravity Group will be able to lay claim to this record now?

[@stephenfrings3057]

The industry has seen so much innovation since SoB failed its very possible. That coaster was built by the wrong company at the wrong time.

[@TheNinjaDC]

I think covid and the trade war will limit Chinese wood coasters in the near future. I expect more safe, small, and domestic Chinese wood coasters. But overall, I expect less wood there period. Wood coasters are more favored in America than Europe or Asia. And with more steel Chinese coaster (knock off) companies in the wild now, I expect more preference for there coasters in the near future.

183.8 feet seems like a weird number because it's actually 56 meters. El Toro is 55 meters high.

It seems like RMC matched the height of the existing tallest wooden coaster, and used the measurement of 56 meters.

Orion is the smallest (in height), shortest (in length), & slowest B&M Giga.

I could see Gravity group making a wooden hyper coaster. Son of Beast showed it could be done (and that was with KI picking up the sh$t RCCA left on their lawn). Gravity Group is an actual competent company, and one looking to show off the strength of their prefab track. They are will also more willing to accept roughness for cool designs (see Hades). The biggest issue is finding a buyer. After Son of Beast, most parks are cautious about a hyper wood coaster. CF would only do it if another park did it first. Six Flags is still hesitant about coasters over 15m. The SeaWorld parks rarely go for wood coasters (and the ones they do are rather safe designs). China might have been willing to do it, but post trade war and Covid, that because unlikely.

[@AirtimeThrills]

It just seems parks would shy away from the maintenance involved from a hyper woodie. Not really worth the upkeep

[@magiccoasters7674]

I think inversion is the easiest but also steepest drop. That seems pretty accessible and doesn’t necessarily come with a massive price tag. Longest, I don’t think we might see ever maybe some kind of coaster in China or maybe Energylandia who knows.

[@Paolo8772]

I never heard of the Big Dipper at Fairmont park, that sounds awesome! There are many record breakers between the me mid 20s and the 60s that got demolished before Thunderboldt regained the drop record it had in 1924 of 90'. Also: The Beast has 2 lift hills but The Son of Beast had only one. Now the longest wooden coaster w 1 lift hill is The Voyage. They will make a wooden roller coaster with a bigger drop than 180'; I don't see why that's so hard, considering Goliath at SFGA was relatively cheap to build.

[@AirtimeThrills]

When you say "they" who will that be? I think RMC is done making woodies, Intamin likely is done making woodies, will the Gravity Group find a buyer for something topping 180 feet? It hasn't happened yet...

The Smiler's inversion record is also a lot more creative than Colossus, since the Smiler, while it does repeat a few elements like a couple of dive loops, is much more varied than Colossus's loop, cobra roll, 2 corkscrews, and 5 barrel rolls (4 of which are back to back).

Great video and I agree that most of the Wooden coaster records seem Untouchable. Length for a woodie will almost certainly never be beat, but I think there’s an outside shot of a coaster being built with Gravity Group’s new pre engineered track that could gun for the height, length, speed, drop, drop angle or maybe even inversions record. For steel coasters I think we see the height record fall either with Falcons Flight (which would break the drop, speed, and length records) and/or a Polar Coaster potentially in Dubai as I feel like that would be a place where a polar coaster would make sense. Drop angle should also be broken pretty soon by Gerstlauer. Inversions I think is pretty unlikely to be broken soon just because it would be pretty difficult to make a 15-inversion coaster layout that wouldn’t be too nauseating to the general public.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Really interested in that GG prefab track

[@mjbari3]

I've often wondered how much a human can take on a roller coaster. I'm not an engineer by far, but I know there are limits the body can take, especially black outs and red outs. I've been an ACE member for 25 years, and I cannot ride many coasters now because of my body and old sports injuries. I have to wear a a brace on my hips now to ride. I can't do rapid changes in direction and even was hurt on a coaster last year at my home park I've ridden 400 times! I thought I'd be able to ride until I died, but I'm 51!

[@DoomPlague]

Topper track shouldn't count as wood track, imo. The actual rails that the wheels come in contact with are all steel. I don't see how that's much different than a mine train with wood supports. And yes I know wood track always had steel plates but they're only a small part of the rail by volume.

[@AirtimeThrills]

The topper track is definitely thicker than the normal steel plate on a GCI but its still on top of a stack of wood. Tough call but i respect them calling it a wood coaster. They certainly get rough like wooden coasters

[@timk987]

I'm with you to a degree. If topper track used a little thicker steel the wood stack is pretty much theming. (like the wooden cross ties on Expedition Everest) Imo, a wood coaster runs steel wheels which would eliminate all the RMC topper track coasters except Outlaw Run. I know I'm not going to change the general consensus, so I simply refer to topper track, and prefab coasters as modern wood coasters vs. traditional wood coasters for everything built the traditional way with dimensional lumber. I wouldn't be surprised if parks pick up on that. (i.e. fastest traditional wood coaster or T-Express claiming to be the world's longest modern wood coaster) for marketing purposes.

[@ndelli23]

I think wooden coasters are too popular to count them out of future records. I could see a park with money like BGW or maybe Carowinds invest in a record breaking woodie. Maybe a herschend park? COTALAND?

[@ndelli23]

Maybe RMC takes a turn after their single rails and iBoxes start popping up all over and do a traditional woodie with their topper track. More likely Gravity Group though.

I'm not so sure parks are all that interested in records anymore because we're at a point that roller coasters can go beyond what the human body can take. The trend seems to be a focus on quality like VelociCoaster, Iron Gwazi and stuff like that. Even small rides like El Loco, Skyrocket 2, Hyper Gtx are pretty great. The highest? Maybe with a Polar Coaster? Fastest I doubt. Wooden coasters I think are at the limit of what wood track can take. I could see a traditional 400ft Strata but at what park? Who would be willing to spend that kind of money and have that kind of land?

[@zuper1133]

I could potentially see a possible length record in a RMC American eagle, of course this wouldn't happen, but considering the two sides are 4000+ in length and if it was mobius it could probably end up around 7000+ and there isn't much you can cut out of the layout since its out and back once.

[@jimmaloney1121]

I think Rattler, Texas Giant, Mean Streak, and Son of Beast showed us what are the practical limits of "traditional" wooden coasters (i.e. non-RMC Topper Track). Even El Toro and T-Express are around 40 ft shorter than Son of Beast. I just don't think woodies can get much bigger than what Intamin has done. Even if Son of Beast had a different fate if Kings Island hadn't used RCCA, It's still the only 200+ ft woodie ever tried. An Intamin prefab would be the only possible way to get a wooden coaster up over 200 ft.

It seems the industry is primarily focused on records within a certain model these days… at least Cedar Fair is 🤪 It will be interesting to see if Falcon’s Flight lives up to its promises. That entire park seems really interesting, but I’m sad that with it being Saudi Arabia, I’ll never be able to go. Oh well. I’m sure there will be something else in the future.

Can someone explain what makes Goliath wood when it looks like other steel hybrids

[@AirtimeThrills]

The track is mostly wood with a steel topper track. Its thicker than most wooden coasters have but its still a wooden coaster. Other hybrids have the I box track which is completely steel
