Out-and-back layouts
Leave the station, hit a big drop, return parallel — the classic speed hill formula.
Rocky Mountain hybrid coasters
Steel track on reinvented wooden structures — steep, twisted, and often relentless.
The physics of airtime
Negative G when the track falls away faster than gravity pulls you down.
Track compliance — why wood feels alive
Wood flexes; steel is stiffer — the same forces feel different on each structure.
