Other Information
A good Suspended Roller Coaster requres plenty of curves and helixes to provide the high lateral G's required to swing the cars.
In Real Life
This was the first instance of the Inverted Roller Coasters 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.
