The '''Flying Roller Coaster''' is a roller coaster type introduced in ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]''.
===Construction===▼
Track has a square-section steel spine, connected to the inside edges of tubular steel running rails. Supports are large tubular steel posts. Trains are held on the track by wheels below and inside the running rails. Unlike [http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_Roller_Coaster Lay-down Roller Coaster], this ride starts with upside-down station, has fewer compatible inversions but gives more excitement and is easier to design.▼

===Other Information===
* The Flying Roller Coaster naturally has a high Nausea rating, rivaling that of the [[Suspended Swinging Coaster]] and only lower than that of the [[Multi-Dimension Roller Coaster]]. Because of this, care should be taken to avoid including too many turns (especially helixes) on the track. As with the [[Inverted Roller Coaster]], it is highly recommended to install benches, litter bins, and [[First Aid Room]]s on and near the exit path of a Flying Roller Coaster. Having [[Handyman|Handymen]] patrol the exit path is also ideal, as is keeping food and drink stalls far away from a Flying Roller Coaster.

** Since OpenRCT2 v0.4.2 and v0.4.3, the Flying Roller Coaster now has more special track piece options, including quarter and large half loops, as well as boosters in both flying and laying-down positions.
* The Flying Roller Coaster received three new default track colour schemes in OpenRCT2 v0.4.2, each one based on a real-life flying roller coaster:
** Light blue, dark blue, icy blue (Manta at SeaWorld Orlando)
** Yellow, bright red, bright orange (Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain pre-2021)
** Maroon, maroon, saturated brown (F.L.Y. at Phantasialand)
*** Prior to the v0.4.5 release, this color scheme consisted of bordeaux red track and dark yellow supports.
===In Real Life===
The boosters for the Flying Roller Coaster in the flying position were inspired by F.L.Y., a Vekoma flying launched roller coaster at Phantasialand in Brühl, Germany.
