The Gravity Group — modern wooden originals
Wooden coaster designers known for Terrain Twisters and lively new-build wood layouts.
Culture & community
The Gravity Group designs wooden coasters with an emphasis on terrain, laterals, and playful pacing — often labeled Terrain Twisters or similar park marketing. They compete in the modern-wood space alongside GCI and others.
Expect wood character without necessarily chasing RMC hybrid speed. Layouts weave, duck, and turn more than they sprint in a straight out-and-back.
When comparing wooden credits on Coaster Atlas, manufacturer helps set expectations: Gravity Group vs GCI vs classic John Miller heritage rides are different hobbies under one “wood” filter.
