Flying Roller Coaster
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 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
- Like Inverted Roller Coaster, Flying Roller Coaster gives very high Nausea due to negative vertical G's at ground slopes so prepare for a lot of throw-up by placing benches and litters and keeping food & drink at distance.
- Unlike Lay-down Roller Coaster, this gives pretty high Excitement and easier to build. Because of very few compatible inversions, the designs usually have not more than 9 Intensity Rating except that designs are like to throw riders from twisted slopes.
In Real Life
- Inverted Flying Roller Coaster is designed by B&M and the well-known is Superman: The Ultimate Flight.
