They each get portions retracked every off season. Timber is currently fantastic, with quite a bit of work going into a few sections of track and the lift motor. Tremors isn't bad either, at least not like it is at the end of the season. But I would love to see those annoying PTC trains replaced along with some more Topper Track. But, it's hard to market that sort of thing to bring people (back) to the park.

For those who have ridden an RMC I-box track coaster, it really is a completely different ride than what you get on any other woodie. That includes topper track and/or RMC's more traditional wooden coasters (Outlaw Run for example). It's almost not a wooden coaster at all. It's something entirely new and different. I say that with nearly 300 coasters under my belt. There is nothing like them anywhere.
That all said, I'd just like to see Silverwood round out its ride offering a bit more before jumping into a new RMC coaster. Their flat ride selection still feels really lacking to me. They are missing some basic classics like a wave swinger, and could really benefit from some of the new popular rides like an air racer. A good dark ride would really fill in a big void. And a true family coaster (preferably something with a custom layout) would fit that niche in between the kiddie coasters and the big ones. I'd also love to see Silverwood get a giant Ferris Wheel - imagine the views!
Anyway my point remains: yes, I'd love anything new, but Silverwood still has some holes to fill before I feel that they really NEED a new coaster.

Also you said topper track and/or RMC's more traditional wooden coasters like Outlaw Run. OR is topper track. All of RMC's non-I-Box coasters are topper track which barely qualifies as wooden because the track still sits on a few layers of wood.

Haha I loved Tremors last year during Scarywood, maybe I just have a sadistic streak but I love coasters that can throw you around a bit. It's too bad for Silverwood that the area isn't more saturated, so that they could justify growing faster--but at the same time the lack of "saturation" is what's great about the area, so I won't complain. I just wish there was somewhere around the NW that would get a new coaster sometime...

Thanks for all of the details....clearly the lines between steel and wood (as they have traditionally been known) are being blurred more and more each year. I still tend to think of coasters based on their frame structure (SFMM's Colossus will always be a "woodie" in my mind).
Nuances aside, all of the I-box coasters I've been on are in the top 10 of my (now) 300+. No matter how you slice it, the world of coasters is getting very interesting and with RMC being so close, it seems someday Silverwood is bound to see something incredible.

If I remember right they already have the track for the T-Rex on property. I heard they from a pretty reliable source.
