Other Information

• It is a good idea to station a Handyman exclusively for a Top Spin, as its nausea ratings rival that of some roller coasters even on Beginners mode.
• In RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, a Top Spin shoots water at the guests on the ride. Also, the different intensity modes were dropped.
• This ride is called Top Spin in RCT2, RCT3, and the European version of RollerCoaster Tycoon. In the American version of RollerCoaster Tycoon, it is called "Gravitron".

In Real Life
