Steel or Wooden?

on roller coasters ( of course) and i am going to have a shelf that goes half way
around my room... The shelf will be about half a foot wide and will go beside my
bed...then turn...then go straight again....then have a turnaround spott for my
coaster...the reason why I am gettin this shelf is so I can make a permanent knex
roller coaster! But why I am asking this is because I dont know if I should make
a wooden one...with lots of bunny hills...or a steel one...that has about 2 inversions? If
I happen to make a wooden one I will 1st build it....then i will take section by
section....track and all...except for the tubing of course..and spray paint all the
supports and the track brown...but if I decide to do a steel coaster then I will not spray
paint anything and it will be kind of boring.....so I am guessing most people will vote
for a wooden one....but if they dont then it just wont be as good...but it is my decision
anyway...I just want to know what people think....

..so here is a simple sketch....the shelf will not be too wide so when it does the
turnaround at the end...it will go back through its structure to the station.... its pretty
much just a straight shelf except for 2 turns

I said after the turnaround it is going to go through its structure and too the station...do
you guys think it would look cool if I painted everything brown except for the tubing so
it wont get sticky?

always get.....but what do you guys suggest i put into this coaster....i am going to have
a lift...then drop about 2 inches...then have a turn and have a series of bunny
hills! also on the turnaround i think i am going to have a double helix! not
sure yet...then i will make the coaster dive back under its structure and give lots of
head choppers!

would have it go as high 2 the roof then droop do some hills then sece a shelf cant be
in front of your dor have a hill tht goes over the dor then have a final bunny hill then go
back to the station oh yeah you could make a station out of wood 2.

very far just to do a turn...then i will have bunny hills and everything....and the shelf
only goes halfway around my room cuz i dont want to have a shelf in the middle of my
door! cuz i made a turnaround so it would go back to the station...cuz i dont want
to have to mess w/ the door...here is a sketch of my room w/ the shelf.....it should let
you get a betta pic of how this is

coaster....this part will be behind my futon....it will then have a double helix to the left
of the futon....and then it will dive under its structure and make its way back to the
station.....i will have another sketch of is going to be on the left of my bed...which is
mainly just the lift and a few bunny hills back to the station!!tell me what
you think about the plans so far!!! i am also going to work very
slowly on this coaster cuz it will be up for a LONG time!! i am going to
make the supports very strong....i will only be using the blue rods....therefore it will
look like a real wooden coaster w/ lots of supports!! well here is the
pic!!
