In Real Life

 * This type of Roller Coaster is made by Bolliger & Mabillard. There is only one real world instance of this ride in the RCT series and that was Oblivion in Alton Towers (RCT1). As of 2006, the trains became available in both 8 and 10 across seating; yet only one uses the ten across seating formation (Griffon in Virginia). As of 2007, the trains also came with a floorless option. Recently, one is currently under construction with 6-abrest seats.
