Home > Flying roller coaster
A flying roller coaster is a roller coaster where the riders are secured in flying position with the track overhead. The loading process varies by manufacturer. In Bolliger and Mallibard flying coasters, the passenger takes a sitting position with their legs dangling. The coaster then tilts them forward placing passengers in a flying position for the duration of the ride. While Vekoma coasters are loaded more like a traditional seated coaster with the track below the rider. At the top of the lift hill, the track rotates a half turn to flip the riders into the flying position. Others have a car which hangs from an upper rail, whose long car hangs down at a 45 degree angle, in which riders lay down in. The car is then lifted up into a flying position while holding the riders inside.
