* A good Suspended Roller Coaster requresrequires plenty of curves and helixes to provide the high lateral G's required to swing the cars.
===In Real Life===
* 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.
*This was the first instance of the [[Inverted Roller Coaster]]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 model of the suspended coaster is made by Vekoma and is still being built today.

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.
