Supports are large tubular steel posts.

Another difference is that Steel Coasters can have a lift hill with chain lift later in the ride while the LIM normally cannot have chain lifts. ** In OpenRCT2, both coaster types can be made to either pass through the station or not pass through the station. * This ride is called '''Steel Roller Coaster''' in the original [[RollerCoaster Tycoon]]. * The first and second games have different roller coaster train designs. ** In OpenRCT2, since the 0.4.2 release, the RCT1 Steel Roller Coaster's trains are available for use, most commonly being found in RCT1 scenarios. If these trains are added onto a scenario along with the RCT2 trains, the RCT1 trains will take priority on the build menu when grouping by ride types. == In Real Life == The Looping Coaster closely resembles the coasters designed by Schwarzkopf and Hopkins. This track type is also useful for making shuttle [[roller coaster]]s like the popular Shuttle Loop model manufactured by Schwarzkopf. == Gallery == <gallery captionalign="left"> SteelRC1.png Line 87 ⟶ 102: Steel (Extreme).jpg\|Steel Roller Coaster with Extreme [[Excitement]]. </gallery> ~~{{RollerCoaster Tycoon Rides & Attractions}}~~ == External Links == * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_roller_coaster Steel Roller Coaster (Wikipedia)] * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFLVVnh6ZO0 5 useful designs for scenario play (Marcel Vos YouTube video)] ** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwAOc4l5PIM Update to the previous video] {{RollerCoaster Tycoon Rides & Attractions 2D}} [[Category:Roller Coasters]] [[Category:Roller coasters in RCT2]] [[Category:Roller coasters in RCT3]] [[Category:Rides]] [[Category:Attractions]] [[Category:Roller coasters in RCT1]] [[Category:Powerd Launch]]
