Other Information

• A good Inverted Wild Mouse Coaster is all about tight turns and sudden drops - the more intense, the better.

• This ride is called Inverted Hairpin Coaster in both RCT2 and RCT3.

• There is a glitch with the Inverted Wild Mouse: By creating an inline loop beginning with at least 5 stations, a vertical chain lift, and 3+ circuits, it is possible to achieve speeds otherwise not possible in the game while the coaster is set to "Continuous Circuit".

In Real Life

• This ride is loosely based on the Reverchon Gliding Coaster, a suspended Wild Mouse roller coaster created in 2000, and exclusive to travelling fairs. The in-game variant lacks banked turns and the cars do not swing, however.
