Line 15:

Track consists of steel girders built upon massive supports. Trains run on classical rubber tires to give the guests a smoother ride, with up-stop wheels below the track; and are air-propelled in order to complete the track.

==Other Information==

* The train is launched out of the station using an air-powered launch system. To achieve a comfortable ride, the launch speed should be carefully chosen so the train is travelling at minimum speed over the crest of the hill.

* This ride is called Air Powered Vertical Coaster in both [[RollerCoaster Tycoon]] and [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]

* This ride is called Air Powered Vertical Coaster in both [[RollerCoaster Tycoon]] and [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]].

* This coaster can only have one train, even if your station platform is long enough to support two or more trains.

* Strangely, the track requires a full circuit in order to operate but in RCT1 and OpenRCT2, this coaster can be designed like a half-pipe coaster. Be careful though, both slopes must be high enough (at least 4 or 6 pieces) in order to prevent an accident.

Line 67:

* In RCT2, if you build some banked curves, remember to place banked-to-normal pieces before placing the slopes. Otherwise, the ride will either not count as completed (RCT2 and RCT Classic) or crash (RCT1, RCT3, and OpenRCT2).

* The [[excitement]], [[intensity]], and [[nausea]] of these will always be very high or at least high.

* ~~Should~~ an Air Powered Vertical Coaster not have a drop height of at least 25 m (82 ft), ~~its~~ ~~excitement~~ ~~rating~~ ~~will~~ be ~~severely~~ ~~penalized,~~ ~~going~~ ~~down~~ by ~~75%~~.

* In OpenRCT2, the Air Powered Vertical Coaster's highest drop height penalty was wrong in relation to the original RCT2, dividing the excitement by 2 instead of 4 if the ride did not have a highest drop height stat of at least 34 m (82 ft). This has been fixed as of the v0.4.1 release on July 4, 2022.

* The Air Powered Vertical Coaster can be more profitable than many other coasters due to its incredibly high rating multipliers, with 44 for excitement, 66 for intensity (the highest of any ride type so far in the game), and 10 for nausea. This means that it is possible to charge the maximum of $20 for a short design.
