Andy Hine - Why Wood is Good (Alton Towers Article)
|
As part of the launch in 2018, Andy did a short interview for Alton Towers about Wooden Coasters and explains his love of them, the campaign for 20 years to get a new wooden coaster in the UK (and anyone who's been to Loopathon in the past knows the wind-ups we've been giving the management to get one).
The article also explains how wooden coasters are different to steel ones, and what people should expect as most people who regularly visit Alton Towers, Drayton Manor, and Thorpe Park etc. won't have ever ridden one, and those who have probably haven't experienced new wooden technology. An interesting read.... Click here to read the article. |
