steel coaster
Iron track thrill
A steel coaster is a roller coaster with a track made of steel tubing, as opposed to the wooden lattice framework of traditional wooden coasters.
Steel construction allows for smoother rides, more extreme elements like loops and corkscrews, and greater design flexibility: The park's new steel coaster features three inversions.
The term distinguishes the ride type in enthusiast discussions.
