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 Steel Roller Coaster in the original RollerCoaster Tycoon
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 coasters like the popular Shuttle Loop model manufactured by Schwarkopf.
