What do they use to make those rails that are like 6 inches wide. Waterville has their down flat down built out of it, and wa wa has both their straight rails made out of it. Just curious what materials are used in making those. Seems like some sort of metal box, or something. Anyway if anyone has info please let me know thanks.

cus it seems like all the parks are using similar materials, or have similarly built rails. Would love to know where I could get ahold of some.

Most of the good boxes are steel stock with lexan plastic for the 'box'
