| Other Coasters |
|
| An inverted coaster is a coaster that rides below the track, rather than on the track. This type of coaster is rigidly connected to its wheel assembly. |
|
| When ride inventors exhausted the upside down track layout, they came up with another way to scare people senseless. They switched tracks on the riders. Instead of having cars travel over the tracks, the cars were hung from overhead tracks and the "suspended coaster" was born. The first successful suspended coaster was designed by the Arrow/Huss Corporation in 1984 for Busch Gardens, The Old Country, in Williamsburg, Virginia. Suspended coasters have cars that hang down. |
|
| Some coasters are even half tunnels that ride on streams of water. These are called water coasters. |
|
| Some roller coasters are built side-by-side so that they "race." These are called racers. |
