Track is made up of two steel beams with cross sections in the middle (similar to the [[Junior Roller Coaster]]). The supports are poles made out of steel and the water sections have steel lattice supports. |
Track is made up of two steel beams with cross sections in the middle (similar to the [[Junior Roller Coaster|Junior]] and [[Steel Mini Roller Coaster]]s). The supports are poles made out of steel and the water sections have steel lattice supports. Unlike the Junior and Steel Mini Roller Coasters, the Water Coaster uses a chain lift hill instead of a friction wheel lift hill. |
