Wing coasters

Seats sit on either side of the track so nothing is above or beside you in the middle.

Spaghetti bowl layouts

Tight intertwined track where multiple layers cross — visual chaos and quick transitions.

Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M)

Swiss manufacturer known for smooth inverts, hypers, dives, and wing coasters.

Heartline vs centerline rotation

Where the train rotates changes how inversions feel in your head and gut.
