=== Other Information= ==
* A good Suspended Roller Coaster requresrequires plenty of curves and helixes to provide the high lateral G's required to swing the cars.
* Due to its very high natural nausea rating, it is highly recommended to place down benches, [[Handyman|Handymen]], and [[First Aid Room]]s (if available) on and near the exit path of a Suspended Swinging Coaster, even in scenarios where guests prefer more intense rides and are more likely to have a high nausea tolerance.
 
== In Real Life ==
*The Suspended Swinging Coaster is based on Arrow's original suspended coaster design. This was the first instance of the inverted[[Inverted rollerRoller coastersCoaster]]s now popular among many parks around the world. It was first introduced in the 1980's as a prototype built by Arrow Dynamics.

The floorless vehicles for the coaster are based on Vekoma's suspended floorless vehicles manufactured for both their own designs and for pre-existing Arrow models.<ref>Internal file name for floorless trains is "VEKVAMP.DAT"</ref> These trains are perhaps most famously seen on Vampire at Chessington World of Adventures.
