Wooden roller coasters give people such palm-sweating thrills because they have lots of quick swift drops and crazy turns. Of that adrenaline junkies can't get enough of. However, steel roller coasters may have the advantage of being able to be manipulated to loop and corkscrew.
"In 1959, the Disneyland theme park introduced a new design breakthrough in roller coasters with the Matterhorn Bobsleds. This was the first roller coaster to use a tubular steel track. Unlike conventional wooden rails, tubular steel can be bent in any direction, which allows designers to incorporate loops, corkscrews, and many other maneuvers into their designs. Most modern roller coasters are made of steel, although wooden roller coasters are still being built." - Wikipedia
