Still, it makes a great novelty ride. ==Notes== The Flying Saucer ride can support up to 16 cars. In [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]], the Flying Saucer ride is considered as a '''Sci-Fi''' ride. *"Rock Style" is the ride's initial song once built, but is one of the few rides where the option to play music is initially checked, the others being [[~~Bumper Cars~~Dodgems]] that initially plays "Dodgems Beat Style" and [[Merry-Go-Round]] that solely plays "Fairground Organ Style" with its own different types of melodies. {{RollerCoaster Tycoon Rides & Attractions}}▼ == In Real Life == The Flying Saucer ride is based on the similarly named Flying Saucers ride that once existed in Disneyland <ref>http://yesterland.com/saucers.html</ref>. Open for 5 short years from 1961 to 1966, this ride used an innovative air-powered system to effectively create a hovercraft-like version of the standard bumper car ride. Constant breakdowns and mechanical issues lead to its closing. Years later, Disney's California Adventure opened Luigi's Flying Tires, a Cars themed attraction seen by many as a spiritual and technological successor to the classic Flying Saucers. It too, however suffered from design issues that lead to its early closing in 2015. == References == ▲<references />{{RollerCoaster Tycoon Rides & Attractions 2D}} [[Category:Gentle Rides]] [[Category:Junior Rides]] Line 37 ⟶ 42: [[Category:Attractions]] [[Category:Gentle Rides in RCT2]] [[Category:Gentle Rides in RCT3]]
