Twister Roller Coaster

The Twister Roller Coaster (called Steel Twister in RCT1, in order to distinguish it from the Wooden Twister) is a type of roller coaster that was introduced in the Added Attractions expansion pack.

Construction
Track has a tubular steel spine, connected to the inside edges of tubular steel running rails. Supports are large tubular steel posts. Trains are held on the track by wheels above, below, and outside the running rails.

In Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, there seems to be no height limitation for this coaster, allowing for it to be more freely built. The developers of the game probably forgot about height limitations.

Other Information

 * Articulated trains allow this type of roller coaster to use a wide variety of twisted track and inversions.
 * In RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 it counts as a separate ride for each vehicle type (Twister Roller Coaster, Stand-Up Twister Coaster, Floorless Roller Coaster, and Hyper-Twister Roller Coaster) (see below).
 * In the original RollerCoaster Tycoon, this coaster was called the Steel Twister Roller Coaster.
 * Vanilla Twister is only one type which has Launched Lift Hill special track, but in RCT1, any track can use it to design more excited and intense rides.
