Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC)
Hybrid conversions and custom I-box coasters with twisted, airtime-heavy layouts.
Rocky Mountain hybrid coasters
Steel track on reinvented wooden structures — steep, twisted, and often relentless.
Wooden vs steel coasters
Structure and maintenance differ, but the question for riders is feel — vibration, sound, and how the train moves.
Track compliance — why wood feels alive
Wood flexes; steel is stiffer — the same forces feel different on each structure.
