Construction
Track has a tubular steel spine, connected to the inside edges of tubular steel running rails. Supports are large tubular steel posts. Trains are held on the track by wheels above, below, and outside the running rails.
Special Track Elements
- Banked Curves
- Vertical Loop
- Steep Twist
- Banked Helix
- On-Ride-Photo
- Corkscrew (RCT3)
- Large Corkscrew (RCT3)
- Half Loop (RCT3)
- Quarter Loop (RCT3)
Constraints
- Banked curves - 50° banking (90° in RCT3)
- Maximum track slope - 60° (90° in RCT3)
- Lift hill maximum slope - 25° (60° in RCT3)
- Maximum height above ground - 150 ft
Vehicles
- Roller Coaster Train
- Roller Coaster Train (facing backwards)
Operating Modes
- Continuous circuit mode
- Powered launch
- Reversed-Inclince launched shuttle mode
Other Information
Gives a very smooth ride, and allows the design of long, fast, and twisted track layouts.
The difference between the Steel Roller Coaster's powered launch and the LIM Launched Roller Coaster's launch is that the train will pass through the station for the Steel Roller Coaster, which is not true of the LIM Launched Coaster's train. 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.
This ride is called Looping Roller Coaster in both RCT2 and RCT3
In Real Life
- The Looping Coaster closely resembles the coasters designed by Schwarzkopf and Hopkins.
