This ride is called Corkscrew Roller Coaster in both RCT2 and RCT3.


 * The most notable aspect of the Corkscrew Roller Coaster was how diverse the layouts could be. Arrow Dynamics is resposible for many of the Corkscrew roller coasters in the Six Flags parks featured in RCT2. The two most notable are Great American Scream Machine (Great Adventure, defunct as of Summer 2010) and Viper (Magic Mountain, still operating). Both of these rides were semi-copies of each other and were built in 1989 and 1990 respectively. Great American Scream Machine once held the records for World's Tallest, Tallest Looping and Fastest rollercoaster in 1989 and 1990. Viper is now the World's Tallest looping Coaster.
