We didn't get into it other than mentioning that wood structures
"give" while steel is rigid. If I had to guess that may translate into
more stress on the track itself which of course is a big problem if
the ride owner doesn't believe in regular maintenance. Since he is the
in the coaster business, I have to assume he has good reasons for his
opinion.
