Kentucky Rumbler Redefining The Classic Wooden Roller Coaster



With the popularity of hybrid wooden coasters, those constructed with a steel structure instead of wood or the newest variation built with a pre-fabricated wood track, many roller coaster fans have been wondering if those constructed entirely of wood are going to be a thing of the past.

It's not that fans don't enjoy the new variations, some of which have recieved rave reviews and won awards like The Voyage at Holiday World or El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure. What concerns them is the possible loss of the past. Are we losing, some part of Americana? Is the true wood roller coaster fading away to be replaced by the newer variation?

Well "woodie fans" you need not worry, the designers of all wood roller coasters have not disappeared. Instead they've been hard at work in Sunbury, Pennsylvania designing a new thrilling attraction for Kentucky's Beech Bend Park.
