In Real Life

The Wooden Roller Coaster doesn't replicate a specific model, rather a general type of coaster. This type of roller coaster outdated the Side-Friction Coaster, and the invention of up-stop wheels revolutionized this type of ride.

The Vertical Loop element is found in all three Tycoon games, however only one modern wooden roller coaster has ever featured a vertical loop; Son of Beast at Kings Island. This loop was later removed to allow lighter trains to be used on the ride.
