Track is made from wooden planking with a central guide rail. Cars are powered, and follow the guide rail along the track. Covered vehicles make the ride an indoor ride.
The Car Ride is one of the simplest tracked rides, so it is a good one to practice customs designs with. The Car Ride doesn't go very fast, so don't make the track terribly long. Add plenty of scenery along the way to make an exciting ride for the guests.
In RCT2 and RCT3, each vehicle type appears as a separate ride.
The Huskie Car and Pegasus Ride in RCT2 have a higher top speed.
