Voyage is testing:

Does anyone know when the new trains for the Voyage will be delivered?

Actually SoB had wood track in the loop. The difference was that it was attached to a steel structure. It can clearly be seen in this picture http://www.coasterimage.com/pictures/albums/_wallpaper/sonofbeast_1280.jpg Thanx for clarifying my mistake...That is a great picture...I couldn't find one that close up and all the pictures I looked at were far away and appeared to be steel...

Actually, coasters with steel rails on wood structure are 100% wood coasters...Again the structure has nothing to do with determining the type of coaster...In reality the only true hybrid coaster that I am aware of would have been Son Of Beast...The loop was all steel making it a coaster that had actually wood and steel tracking according to the definition...However, it's not to say that the definition will one day change..But as of now the new TG will be classified as steel...Also, I believe it's going to be a very good coaster and if it works their are many coasters out there that should have this done..

Long time observer but first time poster.....I'm sorry to say this is no longer a wooden rollercoaster...However, it's not to say it will not be good...A matter a fact it may be great...But to classify this as a wooden coaster is wrong...It's as much as a wooden coaster as Voyage or Cyclone(Coney) would be considered a steel coaster...I will miss the Texas Giant(Wooden) the early years that is...
