To add on to my explanation, theres nothing like tearing ass through the woods at night on a wooden coaster. You can hear every track joint, the airtime, all of that. For example, a nightride on beast with the trims off in 02, that was INSANE. We must have gone 3/4th up the second lift. Anyways, all wooden coasters can have that "holy sh*t" feeling to them if they are maintained properly.
