Now Lehrner 7 her days working with amusement parks to design and build new coasters. These new coasters they design are 8 made of wood, except for a metal 9 on which the cars run. The basic design has been around for more than a century. Still, Lehrner notes, each new one is different. “We use a lot of the same 10 and concepts. But they 11 with the terrain(地势) and design.
