In Real Life

Coming to prevalence in the mid 20th century, this type of roller coaster outdated the Side-Friction Coaster, and the invention of up-stop wheels revolutionized this type of ride.

While the track style of the Wooden Roller Coaster doesn't replicate a specific model, the various trains appear to replicate those of famous manufacturers. The standard and 6-seater trains take on the appearance of classic Philadelphia Toboggan Company trains [1], while the articulated trains are reminiscent of Great Coaster International Millennium Flyer trains [2].

The Vertical Loop element is found in all three Tycoon games, however only one modern wooden roller coaster has ever featured a vertical loop; Son of Beast at Kings Island. This loop was later removed to allow lighter trains to be used on the ride.
