Line 28:
*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.
* Strangely, normally the track must be designed in full circuit in order to operate but in RCT, this coaster can be designed in half way to operate like an air-shuttle coaster. Be careful, the first vertical up slope must be high enough (at least 4 or 6 pieces) as the train exhilarates really fast even it is on the very first slope up and don't forget to add a slope down at the end to prevent an accident.
* Like [[Reverse Freefall Coaster]], this coaster is impossible to get "Station Brakes Failure" breakdown.
* In RCT2, if you build some banked curves, follow with straight banked returning piece and you use slope up in sudden, when you complete the track, it prevents from operating as it doesn't fit at all unlike RCT and RCT3 that it will crash.
===In Real Life===
*The Air Powered Coaster is made by the company S&S (who 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 Dodonpa (once was the world's fastest roller coaster) in Japan. There have been make overs of the Air powered coaster (all by S&S) and the latest remake was ring°racer in Germany, which reached a top speed of over 130 mph, however these later models differ substantially from the original.
