The '''Corkscrew Roller Coaster''' is a steel roller coaster type featured in every main ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' title. As its name implies, its main feature is the corkscrew inversion element.

==Overview==

===Construction===

Track has a tubular steel spine, connected to the outside edges of tubular steel running rails. Supports are large tubular steel posts. Trains are held on the track by wheels above, below, and inside the running rails.

===Special Track Elements===

*Banked Curves

* This ride is called Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster in RollerCoaster Tycoon and Corkscrew Roller Coaster in [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]] and [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]].

* The [[Tilt Coaster]] is essentially a duplicate of the Corkscrew Coaster with more track elements, making the Corkscrew Coaster obsolete in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

* ~~Since~~ the 0.4.4 release of [[OpenRCT2]], the ~~RCT1~~ ~~Corkscrew~~ ~~Roller~~ ~~Coaster~~ ~~Trains are usable, mainly being found in RCT1 scenarios. If unlocked in a scenario alongside~~ the ~~RCT2~~ Corkscrew Roller Coaster ~~Trains,~~ ~~the~~ ~~RCT1~~ ~~trains will take priority on the build menu when~~ ~~grouping~~ by ~~ride~~ ~~types~~.

* As of the 0.4.3 release of [[OpenRCT2]], the large steep slope pieces for the Corkscrew Roller Coaster are now always available, allowing for smoother hills.

* Since the 0.4.4 release of OpenRCT2, the RCT1 Corkscrew Roller Coaster Trains are usable, mainly being found in RCT1 scenarios. If unlocked in a scenario alongside the RCT2 Corkscrew Roller Coaster Trains, the RCT1 trains will take priority on the build menu when grouping by ride types.

** Additionally, the RCT1 trains lack the 10% intensity factor boost that the RCT2 trains have, making it slightly easier to avoid getting an intensity rating ~~below~~ 10.

** Additionally, the RCT1 trains lack the 10% intensity factor boost that the RCT2 trains have, making it slightly easier to avoid getting an intensity rating above 10.

** The RCT1 trains are also slightly shorter, requiring only up to a seven tile-long station to get the maximum length of 8 cars. However, they can also have only 1 car per train even if the station is two tiles long.

Arrow is credited for the inventing of the Boomerang coaster.

The boomerang coaster is one of the most common roller coaster designs in the world. Vekoma has built a more modern version of Boomerang. Both companies have built boomerang roller coasters with Arrow halting their production in 2001. The early Vekoma Boomerangs used Arrow trains and most of the still operating Boomerangs from both companies now use Vekoma Trains.

====Arrow Dynamics====

*Arrow is also famous for inventing and coining the term "hyper-coaster." The first Hyper Coaster was introduced in 1989 and stole the world's fastest and tallest title from Scream Machine, which opened only three months prior. Arrow's "Hyper-Coaster" sparked a huge revival in roller coasters known among enthusiasts as the "Coaster Wars." However, this "war", while still ongoing until this day, has since slowed down.
