2000 is infamously the highlight year in roller coaster history, producing an absurd quantity of coasters at sizes and scales never seen again. Just as significant for wooden coasters, the year alone warrants its own video, seeing fourteen massive coasters open, each interesting in their own right. This would include coasters from new wooden manufacturers Coasters Works Inc and Vekoma, the next from GCI and Intamin, the peak of CCI, and the coaster equivalent of the Titanic from RCCA. Serving as the most exciting year in wooden coaster history, many manufacturers would grow from this year while others would see their last hurrah, leading to a wild and one of a kind instance on the timeline. This is part three of a five part series covering the full history of wooden coasters, covering the finest hour before an era of major innovation.
