What Defines a Modern Coaster in Today’s Theme Parks?

submitted 2 weeks ago by mowej to poop

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a roller coaster modern these days. Is it the tech like magnetic launches, VR integration, or innovative track designs? Or is it more about ride experience, theming, and storytelling?

With so many new rides popping up worldwide, I’m curious what features or innovations you think truly define modern coasters. Are classic steel and wood coasters still relevant, or has the definition shifted entirely?

Would love to hear your thoughts and favorite examples of what you consider the best modern coasters!
