The '''Hypercoaster''' is a large, non-inverting, steel roller coaster. The Hypercoaster first appears in the ''[[Loopy Landscapes]]'' expansion of ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'', and is included in ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'' and ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]]''.
Track and supports are made out of
▲Track and supports are made out of stee;. The trains seat 6 people per car and have lap bar restraints. The train is held to the track by wheels above,below and inside the rails.

==Other information==
*Hypercoasters and Hyper-Twister coasters have several notable differences:
**Their track and train designs are based on real-world designs by separate manufacturers ([[#In real life|see below]]).
**In ''RCT2'' and ''OpenRCT2'', The Hyper-Twister has access to banked sloped curves and vertical sloped track, whereas the Hypercoaster does not.
**In ''RCT2'', the Hypercoaster is capable of a lower maximum height than the Hyper-Twister: 66m / 220ft / 44 units for the Hypercoaster versus 79.5m / 265ft / 53 units for the Hyper-Twister. In ''RCT'' and ''OpenRCT2'', however, the Hypercoaster has a higher maximum height than it does in ''RCT2'', and in ''OpenRCT2'', the maximum height of the Hypercoaster is slightly higher than the maximum height of the Hyper-Twister (a 1.5m / 5ft / 1 unit difference).
*In ''[[RCT]]'', the Hypercoaster is an available train for the [[Corkscrew Roller Coaster|Steel Corkscrew roller coaster]], not as its own separate ride. Hypercoaster trains are available to use only if the track does not have any inversions.
In real-world usage, the term "hyper coaster" is reserved for roller coasters whose height exceeds 200 feet (61 metres). The [[Wikipedia:Arrow Dynamics|Arrow Dynamics]]-designed coaster "[[Wikipedia:Magnum XL-200|Magnum XL-200]]" at [[Wikipedia:Cedar Point|Cedar Point]] (which opened in 1989) was the first roller coaster in the world to reach this milestone. The Hypercoaster ride in the games is based primarily on Arrow Dynamics' track design for its hypercoasters (though other ride manufacturers, such as [[Wikipedia:D.H. Morgan Manufacturers|D.H. Morgan]], built hypercoasters with a similar track design), though the style of the ride seems to be specifically based on "[[Wikipedia:The Big One (roller coaster)|the Big One]]" at the real-world [[Wikipedia:Blackpool Pleasure Beach|Blackpool Pleasure Beach]]. There are now four Arrow hypercoasters operating around the world.<ref>[http://www.rcdb.com/8296.htm RollerCoaster DataBase (RCDB) listing of Arrow hypercoasters]</ref>
