Airtime hills explained
Shaped hills that pull you out of the seat — the heart of hyper and many modern layouts.
Giga vs hyper — what changes at 300 feet?
Giga coasters push height even further. The feel is still about speed and airtime, not inversion tours.
Tubular steel track basics
Round rail stacked and welded — the default modern coaster structure.
What is a hypercoaster?
A coaster focused on speed and airtime — usually 200+ feet tall with a lift hill, not a looping marathon.
