Mine train coasters
Smaller trains, winding layouts, and family-friendly pacing — often themed as mining adventures.
Tire drives and friction lifts
Rubber wheels that push the train — common in stations and some boost hills.
Dive coasters
A held moment on a vertical edge, then a steep release — signature B&M dive machines.
Family coasters — what to expect
Moderate height caps, shorter layouts, and gentler forces for mixed-age groups.
