Note the steel track and the wooden supports on the New Texas Giant.
A hybrid roller coaster is a type of roller coaster that has a mixture of wood and steel building materials used for the track and supports. Usually, wooden supports are combined with steel track, but the opposite combination also exists.
Before it was closed, the longest of the hybrid coasters with the longest duration was The Ultimate at Lightwater Valley. The length record is now held by Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point while the longest duration record is held by Twisted Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The tallest, fastest, and steepest is Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
