Other Information

• The ultimate speed of this ride is controlled by the length of straight track - to achieve maximum speed, a very long length of acceleration track must be built before the slope upwards.
• This ride is called Reverse Whoa Belly Coaster in the original RollerCoaster Tycoon.

In Real Life

• There are currently 2 operating reverse freefall roller coasters in the world as of right now. One is a dueling version in Six Flags Magic Mountain (featured in RCT2), and the other one is in Dreamworld Australia. The other news about this is that until January 16th, 2011, none of the rides had the trains run backwards (you return facing forward). These where manufactured by Intamin AG.
