A Wooden Coaster in WDW?

[Taylor]

I just want to know if Disney has ever thought of putting in a wooden roller coaster in Disney World I know it would be tough to theme it to there standards but it could be done. With the new technology going on wooden coasters now I think bigger theme parks might just look into building wooden coasters, and yes when I talk about new tech I'm talking about outlaw run

I don't know anything about Outlaw Run, but I steer clear of wooden coasters. Wooden coasters = pain....or.... = WDW's Space Mountain. No thank you.

A wooden coaster could be cool, where would be harder. Dinoland maybe? Coaster thru a dig site? Would be better then anything that will ever come out of Chester and Hesters

Yeah I understand your point but I've been on some smooth wooden coasters before

I'm thinking frontier land or an Indy coaster for DHS

I'd really like to see a wooden coaster at Disneyworld, or any roller coaster really. Maybe an Indiana Jones wooden coaster at DHS would be nice. But not a copy of the one in DLP or DLR.

Lucky! I haven't. Every single one I've ever been on in numerous parks/places/times rattled my brain. One, the Zephyr @ Jazz Land/Six Flags New Orleans, sent us from the ride exit straight home. Brutal. Not sure what Disney could do with a wooden coaster. The use of the structure style for the Boardwalk's pool is neat right up to the freaky It clown at the end. Yikes!

I agree abut Frontier Land, but it already has Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

I highly suggest you google Outlaw Run Silver Dollar City

What about tom sawyer island? They need a ride there!

 

[Taylor]

I didn't think of that good idea but they'd have to build a bridge or something

 

[WED99]

A suspension bridge would look good!

 

[WallyWorld]

Closest they might get, IMO, is a wooden-looking coaster like California Screaming

Pretty good coaster....wooden look....steel feel

There were originally plans for DAK to include a family wooden coaster in Dinoland USA.

Yes, it has been considered. The Excavator, a coaster planned for Disney's Animal Kingdom.

The humidity in Florida is a huge problem for wooden coasters in Florida. Just ask Busch Gardens.

 

[Taylor]

I've never thought about the humidity in FL being a possible issue that would mean a lot of money for upkeep

This. Think Space Mountain is rough? Right back row on Gwazi.

I would hate the sound of one in WDW. It would kill atmosphere.

 

[NiarrNDisney]

I may be mistaken but I believe that the planned Excavator rollercoaster for Dinoland was going to be a wooden coaster.

hell yes!!! that looks crazy and awesome!! steel/ wooden hybrids are coming out more i guess. the six flags in san antonio is building one to open next spring as well, without inversions though.

i was thinking the same thing. it seems that it'd be better for it to only 'look' like a wooden coaster. it seems it'd be more restrictive to who could ride than most steel coasters. i've only been on a handful of wooden coasters, but they've all been super aggressive. they don't need to go nearly as fast as a steel coaster to make you 'feel it' and for being as big a guy as i am, its one of the few type of rides that can 'manhandle' me. i wonder what a 'family-friendly' wooden coaster would be like.

So I take it that you can't wait to ride Outlaw Run just like me
