Well while their layouts are generally pretty different, the elements and transitions that are combined to make the layout share very similar characteristics through the vast majority of CCI coasters. Doesn't really matter to maintenance if you turn right instead of left.

I don't know if I understand your question. They have similar transitions and such to some degree I guess, but definitely not to the extent that CCI transitions were similar through most of their rides. I'm also saying, outside of the hard transitions, I don't think CCIs are much different from most any other kind of wooden coaster, and the fact that each layout is different shouldn't have a great effect. Still generally speaking, the trains are the same as many others, the speeds are the same, the forces are pretty similar, and I doubt the track itself is all that different.

No, but rumor has it that it will be recieving the Topper Track treatment from RMC, similar to what Tremors at Silverwood is getting in 2011.

lol dude you gotta read first. I read your post, and I said "they" referring to both Intamin and B&M. I also still don't understand what you're trying to say...

For the last time, my point in response to jayman's post is that the layout itself being custom doesn't have much to do with anything given that the train, tracks, forces, and speeds are either the same or very similar to so many other wooden coasters. I don't get what Intamin or B&M has to do with anything...everything I mentioned is different between the two, and there is much more variation within each manufacturer.
