In Real Life
The Wooden Roller Coaster doesn't replicate a specific model, rather a general type of coaster. This type of roller coaster outdated the Side Friction coaster, and the invention of Up-Stop Wheels revolutionised this type of ride.

The Vertical Loop element is found in all three Tycoon games, however only one modern wooden roller coaster ever featured a vertical loop, Son of Beast at Kings Island. This loop was later removed to allow lighter trains to be used on the ride.
