In Real Life

 * The Air Powered Coaster is made by the company S&S (who bought out Arrow Dynamics in 2002). There are two notable roller coasters of this distinct type and they are HyperSonic XLC (abbr. Xtreme Launch Coaster) which was removed in 2007, and Dodonpa (once was the world's fastest roller coaster) in Japan. There have been make overs of the Air powered coaster (all by S&S) and the latest remake was ring°racer in Germany, which reached a top speed of over 130 mph.
