Corkscrew Roller Coaster: Difference between revisions

Can give a slightly rough ride, but allows the most complex track elements to be used, and can be built to a large height. In the first [[RollerCoaster Tycoon]], a Hyper Coaster Train can be used in place of the standard train if there are no inversions in the track and if it goes at a high speed.

 

===In Real Life===

The most notable aspect of the Corkscrew Roller Coaster was how diverse the layouts could be. Arrow Dynamics is responsible for many of the Corkscrew roller coasters in the Six Flags parks featured in RCT2. The two most notable are Great American Scream Machine (Great Adventure, defunct as of Summer 2010) and Viper (Magic Mountain, still operating). Both of these rides were semi-copies of each other and were built in 1989 and 1990 respectively. Great American Scream Machine once held the records for World's Tallest, Tallest Looping and Fastest Rollercoaster in 1989 and 1990. Viper is now the world's tallest looping coaster. Compared to RCT2 though, both rides were taller than 185 ft. compared to what is stated in the game.
