* Can give a 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.
* This ride is called Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster in RollerCoaster Tycoon and Corkscrew Roller Coaster in [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]] and [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]].▼
▲This ride is called Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster in RollerCoaster Tycoon and Corkscrew Roller Coaster in [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]] and [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]].
*The difference between the Hypercoaster and the [[Hyper-Twister Roller Coaster]] is that the Hyper-Twister can be banked on a slope and that the track on the Hypercoaster looks like Arrow track and the Hyper-Twister track is B&M track.
*In the original [[RCT]], the Hypercoaster was built by selecting the [[Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster]], by '''NOT''' using inversions in your track design and selecting Hypercoaster Trains.
* The [[Tilt Coaster]] is essentially a duplicate of the Corkscrew Coaster with more track elements, making the Corkscrew Coaster obsolete in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.
===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 and fastest roller coaster containing inversions in 1989 and 1990 until Viper opened. Compared to RCT2 though, both rides were taller than 185 ft. compared to what is stated in the game.
