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 those of the [[Suspended Swinging Coaster]] and [[Multi-Dimension Roller Coaster]], so 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.
* In comparison to the Lay-down Roller Coaster, the Flying Roller Coaster is more expensive and has slightly fewer options for inversions, but it has a higher excitement rating.
** 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)
** Bordeaux red, bordeaux red, dark yellow (F.L.Y. at Phantasialand)
===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.
