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. The floorless model of the suspended coaster is made by Vekoma and is still being built today.
