Other Information[]
Ensure that the station is build slightly above the ground, and build the Thrill Lift Bottom to lift the roller coaster up. You may also build the lift chain to bring the roller coaster to the top, and then build the Tilt Section to bring the coaster to face down. Make sure that your trains have at most six cars, as the Thrill Lift section can only a 6 car train.
It is possible to glitch the game by building a tilt-section straight after the station on ground level. The tilt section will appear to "disappear" into the ground as it moves into the vertical position.
In Real Life[]
- There was only one ride of this type built in the world, located in Taiwan. It is still operating and was built by Vekoma in 2002. Golden Horse has also made tilt coasters, but however, the layout and track design is different, as is the angle of descent on the first drop. The Thrill Lift was based on a concept by Vekoma that was only shown in a European amusement park convention.
