*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 with cars that swing around curves. Vekoma and B&M presently build inverted roller coasters with inversions and cars that do not swing.
