Other Information

The difference between the Hypercoaster and the Hyper-Twister Roller Coaster is that the Hyper-Twister can be banked on a slope and that the track on the Hypercoaster looks like Arrow track and the Hyper-Twister track is B&M track.
In the original RCT, the Hypercoaster was built by selecting the Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster, by NOT using inversions in your track design and selecting Hypercoaster Trains.

In Real Life

This ride is based on the 'Hyper Coaster' by Arrow Dynamics. The first was built in 1989 at Cedar Point and now there are five Arrow Hyper Coasters built around the world.RCDB Entry

The style of the cars and track, however, appear to be based off of the "Big One" at Blackpool pleasure beach.
