*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 coaster can only have 1 train, even if your station platform is long enough to support two trains.

* 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 RCT, 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.

* Like the [[Reverse Freefall Coaster]], this coaster does not get the infamous "Station Brakes Failure" breakdown.

* In RCT2, if you build some banked curves, remember to place banked-to-normal pieces before placing the slopes. ~~Else~~ the ride will either not count as completed (~~RCT1&2~~) or crash (RCT3).

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

* 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 halved.

* 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.
