Combination of Rides?

Ok so i was just playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and in building one of the roller coasters, i noticed something and it got me to wondering. It was a suspended train with inverted seats. (For those who don't understand it would be like sitting on Raptor while swinging back and forth on Iron Dragon.) back to the question. are there any rides like this that "combine" to diffrent styles into one? and if not why is that?

Dunno...but it sounds fun :)

From RCDB:
Suspended - a roller coaster using trains which travel beneath the track and pivot on a swinging arm from side to side, exaggerating the track's banks and turns.

Inverted - a roller coaster which uses trains traveling beneath, rather than on top of, the track. Unlike a suspended roller coaster, an inverted roller coaster's trains are rigidly attached to the track.

What you're referring to in correct terms is a floorless swinging coaster. A floorless coaster is a coaster without a floor with track on top or on the bottom. So Iron Dragon without the floors would be a floorless suspended coaster. And no, one's never been built. Of course, that's just my interpretation of RCDB. I'm sure Dave will come and prove me wrong. *** Edited 6/17/2005 1:48:46 AM UTC by Fastball84***

There are these types of rides in the real world, actually. Generally older Arrow suspended coasters get new floorless suspended trains. One such instance is Vampire at Chessington World of Adventures.

Thanks. Think we could get one in Ohio?

Absolutely not! B&M beats Vekoma any day!

whoa whoa whoa... lets not make this a battle of the builders. somone told me they now have these types on trains on Top Gun at PKI. is this true. i havent looked yet and shall do so now if i can find any newer pictures.

Wow that looks fun... I know I am in the minority but Iron Dragon has always been one of my faves for the swinging reason... it would be awesome to have my feet dangling!!!

Sorry I must sound like a little kid!!!!

Guess I stand corrrected. ;)

Git to the Point, no, it's not true about Top Gun at PKI. They still have the same cars. Anyway, why would you waste a million dollars for a new train to be placed on an old coaster?

I've heard from folks who have ridden Vampire that the new trains have a jerky shuffle and that they swing with less grace, which leads to a little head bopping.

Most enthusiasts prefer the old trains.

Thats just dumb
