The '''Single Rail Roller Coaster''' is a steel roller coaster that runs on narrow steel track with single-seater trains.
 
The '''Hybrid Coaster''' is a wooden roller coaster with steel tracks capable of twisting and performing inversions.
 
==Overview==
Line 16:
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 CorkscrewCorkscrews (left or right) start from a straight track to an inverted track, or from an inverted track to a straight track. They turn and invert 3 units forward and 2 units left or right (occupying 6 units including the center of the turn) and are 7.5 m (25 ft) tall.
 
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.

===In Real Life===
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 designeddesigns but mirrored. [[wikipedia:Rocky Mountain Construction|Rocky Mountain Construction]]RMC, who were famous for their hybrid roller coasters, hadhave also madeconstructed other single-rail roller coasters as well. The Single Rail Roller Coaster in OpenRCT2 is based on the RMC Raptor.
 
Intamin has also constructed a Hot Racer-styled single-rail roller coaster at Luna Park Sydney, which opened in 2021.
