*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]]

===In Real Life===
*The Air Powered Coaster is made by the company S&S (which bought out Arrow Dynamics in 2002). There are two notable roller coasters of this distinct type and they are ''HyperSonic XLC'' (abbr. Xtreme Launch Coaster) which was removed in 2007, and ''Do-Dodonpa'' (formerly ''Dodonpa'', once was the world's fastest roller coaster and is currently the fastest roller coaster with an inversion) in Japan. There have been make overs of the Air powered coaster (all by S&S) and the latest remake was ''ring°racer'' (currently SBNO) in Germany, which reached a top speed of over 130 mph, however these later models differ substantially from the original.
