No one remembers the one in Forclaz.

I guess it was underthemed though.

Don't mine trains count as wooden coasters? If so than Phatage's Mine Ride. I think it was QFTB-X. Er, I should go check my facts. It's tough to remember what was in the last year.

Don't mine trains count as wooden coasters?

No, I don't think so. In real life, all mine train coasters are steel railed, (except for maybe LoCoSuMo). They fall under the same category as Gemini, which are steel coasters that look wooden.

Steel railed? So are woodies! Usually it's the support structure, and how the rails are mounted to the track that determines the classification. But anyway, we're talking about RCT coasters. Clearly mine train rides don't belong under the steel coaster category. And they're not adventure rides either. So why not wooden?

Nope, RCT says the mine train runs on steel track, and the wooden coasters on wooden track. Nowhere does in mention wood in relation to the mine train, while all the wooden coasters do. Anyways, mine trains run on tubular steel track (real life, the track in RCT is hard to tell, cause it's like 3 pixels wide). And should you check RCDB, I'm sure they're all probably listed as steel.

And roller coasters usually aren't judged based on their supports. There are some wooden coasters with steel supports, and vice-versa.

BTW, some of this was edited as an afterthough.

Sorry, a second edit. From www.RCDB.com on their definition of wood and steel coasters (which is generally accepted):

Steel - a roller coaster with track consisting of steel tubes or rails. Occasionally steel roller coasters will use wood structures to support the steel track, this does not have an affect on its steel status.

Wood - a roller coaster with track consisting of layers of wood. Occasionally wooden roller coasters will use steel structures to support the wooden track, this does not have an affect on it's wooden status.

Well alright, if by rail you mean tubular steel rails, sure I'll give you that. Most real-life mine trains do. But the one in the game has wooden track with steel rails on it. That's what the art is anyway. And wooden coasters have steel rails too. They're flat strips of steel nailed onto blocks of wood, but the wheels still run on steel and the rest of the track is wood. I'm just trying to make a classification here because I want to vote for a mine ride and given that the thing in the game looks like it's primarily made out of wood, that seems to me the most logical choice.

Thanks for voting. The final nominees are...
