I'm sure it's changed, but I'm sure the thing that would surprise you is how much of it has stayed the same. Some of those wooden roller coasters were very old.

We used to have a historic wooden rollercoaster at a now defunct theme park in Memphis. The Zippen Pippen was a favorite of Elvis. He would rent out the park and ride for hours. It’s now at a park in Wisconsin. I wouldn’t ride it more than once. It seemed real rickety.
