The '''Single Rail Roller Coaster''' is a steel roller coaster that runs on narrow steel track with single-seater trains.
==Overview==
The Single Rail Roller Coaster's track was implemented in [[OpenRCT2]] v0.3.3 which could be accessed by enabling "allow arbitrary ride type changes" in the ride cheats menu at the time, but can also be enabled in Object Selection (require the cheat menu to be enabled in the options menu). The Single Rail Roller Coaster Trains were implemented during v0.4.2's development.<ref name="changelog">[https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/develop/distribution/changelog.txt OpenRCT2 changelog]</ref>
Single Rail Roller Coaster features many special track elements including inversions and new special track elements were implemented in v0.4.2 including Large Half Corkscrews, Medium Half Loops, Zero G Rolls, and Large Zero G Rolls.
Large Half
Medium Half Loop (left) and Medium Half Loop (right) are new special track elements implemented in OpenRCT2 v0.4.2. Larger than a regular Half Loop (renamed to Small Half Loop on this ride) but smaller than a Large Half Loop. They start from an up-sloped track to an inverted track, or from an inverted track to a down-sloped track. Not counting the steep tracks to use them, they are 3 straight track units long and 15 m (55 ft) tall and 1 unit left or right, covering 2 units invertedly, occupying 5 units.
Line 22:
Half Zero G Rolls (left or right) can be performed from an up-sloped track, which inverts the track. Another half Zero G Roll ends on a downslope. The larger variations are performed from an up-steep track and another large half Zero G Roll ends on a down-steep track. The medium-sized variations are 3 straight track units long and 1.5 m (5 ft) tall while the large-sized variations are 4 straight track units long and 10.5 m (35 ft) tall.
Other features the Single Rail Roller Coaster includes are short long steep to straight tracks like [[Vertical Drop Roller Coaster]] and [[Wooden Wild Mouse]], sloped turn to bank, steep chained lift hills, and 90° vertical drops with vertical twists, but no helixes. As of April 5, 2023 during the development for v0.4.5 of OpenRCT2, large sloped turns were implemented in the Single Rail Roller Coaster and [[Hybrid Coaster]],<ref>[https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/actions/runs/4618634378 OpenRCT2 Github — Add large sloped turns to hybrid and single rail] on April 5, 2023, 8:43 a.m. EDT</ref><ref name="changelog"/> allowing players to make 45° large upward or downward turns while sloped up or down respectively, banked or unbanked.

The first two [[wikipedia:Single-rail roller coaster|single-rail roller coaster]]s to be developed were Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas on May 12, 2018, and RailBlazer at California's Great America on June 14, 2018. Both rides were built by [[wikipedia:Rocky Mountain Construction|Rocky Mountain Construction]] and had similar track
Intamin has also constructed a Hot Racer-styled single-rail roller coaster at Luna Park Sydney, which opened in 2021.
