Another difference is that Steel Coasters can have a lift hill with chain lift later in the ride while LIM can not have chain lift at all. * Gives a very smooth ride, and allows the design of long, fast, and twisted track layouts. * The difference between the Looping Roller Coaster's powered launch and the [[LIM Launched Roller Coaster]]'s launch is that the train will pass through the station for the Looping Roller Coaster allowing for multiple circuits, which is not true for the LIM Launched Roller Coaster. 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 == ~~===Approximate Cost===~~ 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 == ~~$3,350 upwards~~ <gallery captionalign="left"> SteelRC1.png SteelRC2.png SteelRC3.png SteelRC4.png SteelRC5.png SteelRC6.png Steel (Extreme).jpg\|Steel Roller Coaster with Extreme [[Excitement]]. </gallery> == External Links == ~~===Appears In===~~ * [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}} [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]] as the Looping Roller Coaster *[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]] as the Looping Roller Coaster [[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]]
