* Roller coasters with the [[Powered Launch]] operating mode allows you to create cheap, compact shuttle tracks with relatively good ride ratings and a high guest capacity due to how short the ride is. The most basic shuttle track is a station platform leading to a vertical loop and, from ''RCT2'' onwards, with a steep slope or another vertical loop built at the back of the station as an overrun track in the event of brakes failure. Set the launch speed just right so that the train goes halfway up the loop, then down again. Even though the ride's excitement rating won't be too high (about 4), its low ride time (below 10s) allows the coaster to be vastly more profitable than many continuous circuit coasters due to the number of rides it can complete within a short span of time. Such tracks are also extremely cheap, usually costing less than $2,000. |

* The following is a quick reference guide to the various forces detailed below a ride's ratings, as well as the recommended maximum limits for each. Tracked rides (predominantly roller coasters) are more likely to generate desirable ride ratings if the maximum forces generated during a ride are within these limits. |

** Vertical Gs are generated on any track section that pushes guests to the ground (e.g. banked curves, straight to upward-sloped tracks, vertical loops, etc.); higher vertical Gs are generated on these track sections if a car/train passes through at high speeds. Try to keep the maximum vertical G on a ride to below 5. |

** Negative vertical Gs are generated on any track section that pushes riders out of their seats (i.e. crests of hills, straight to downward-sloped tracks); higher negative vertical Gs are generated on these track sections if a car/train passes through at high speeds. The maximum negative vertical G on a ride varies: |

*** Tracked rides with unattached cars, such as [[Dinghy Slide]]s and [[Bobsleigh Coaster]]s, have a higher chance of [[Crash]]ing if their maximum negative vertical G is -1.5 or less unless covered tracks are used on sections with high negative vertical Gs. |
