Sweet, where did you get it?

Whoops . Ebay. $5.50 plus shipping
Look who a couple of Reddit posters found pictures of while digging through there on Universal Studios Florida pics.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, that's Wayne Brady as a Ghostbuster.

I don't understand the hating on the wooden roller coasters- when done properly, they can be exhilarating rides with great capacity, and I can see one fitting into the Jurassic Park section beautifully. I wasn't too big a fan of Gwazi when I last rode it in 2007, but I'd love to have a dueling wooden roller coaster similar to Hersheypark's Lightning Racer, or even a stand-alone ride like Dollywood's Thunderhead.
And based off rides like Six Flags Magic Mountain's Terminator or Efteling's Joris en de Draak, wooden roller coasters can exist with themeing- as much themeing as any of Islands' other roller coasters have, anyhow.
If we really want to get down to brass tacks, John Hammond would've never allowed a wooden coaster in Jurassic Park. Aside from the lack of educational value, Hammond was all about the latest and greatest. Jurassic Park (and Jurassic Park River Adventure) feature state-of-the-art technology that goes horribly, horribly wrong. It is the defenseless nature of your position that is the scariest thing about Jurassic Park.

Big difference between all those that you listed and a woodie in Orlando: Humidity levels. With the heat and humidity in Orlando, a woodie would be HELL.
I never considered that. Does Gwazi still run rough with the new trains? And how about Legoland's wooden coaster?
Just an idea, if you wanted to avoid the problems associated with wood track and high humidity, you could have a coaster similar to the New Texas Giant and give it the Rocky Mountain Coaster treatment.
HOLY...! That would scare me more than a straight-down drop! Completely on your side on a wooden coaster!? I know it's a safe structure, but wooden coasters always look so fragile to me, like they could break in half at any moment
