Construction

Track has a tubular steel spine, connected to the inside edges of tubular steel running rails. Supports are large tubular steel posts. Trains are held on the track by wheels above, below, and outside the running rails.

In Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, there seems to be no height limitation for this coaster, alllowing for it to be more freely built. The developers of the game probably forgot about height limitations.

Floorless

Construction

Track has a tubular steel spine, connected to the inside edges of tubular steel running rails. Supports are large tubular steel posts. Trains are held on the track by wheels above, below, and outside the running rails. The first floorless coaster ever built was Medusa (1999) at Six Flags Great Adventure. Its theming was changed in 2009, and it is now known as Bizaro.
