Wood Express
Wood Express is the only wooden rollercoaster at Parc Saint Paul, and one of only a handful of woodies in the whole of France.
It was opened at the park in 2018, and was built by Gravitykraft Corporation from a Gravity Group design. The double out-and-back style layout is fairly compact and the ride is short, but packed with airtime generating hills.
Partly due to its diminutive size, although Wood Express is a smooth and comfortable ride with airtime pops aplenty, it is still only an average-to-good woodie. It fails to deliver the same excitement, intensity or sheer bloody brilliance of the similarly sized Twister at Gröna Lund in Sweden for example.
In a theme park like Parc Saint Paul, Wood Express stands out as by far the best rollercoaster at the park in a way it probably would not at other places. It is worth a ride or two though.
