Line 28 ⟶ 31:
*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 mustrequires be designed ina full circuit in order to operate but in RCT, this coaster can be designed in half way to operate like ana airhalf-shuttlepipe coaster. Be careful though, the first vertical upboth slopeslopes must be high enough (at least 4 or 6 pieces) asin 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 endorder to prevent an accident.
* Like [[Reverse Freefall Coaster]], this coaster isdoes impossible tonever get the infamous "Station Brakes Failure" breakdown.

===In Real Life===
*The Air Powered Coaster is made by the company S&S (whowhich 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.
