[1] It was originally introduced by Vekoma as the "Roller Skater" due to the roller skate shaped cars found on some of the installations,[2] and is credited with greatly influencing the concept of the junior roller coaster, which is found at many theme parks today.

Most Vekoma Junior Coasters consist of a single train made up of several cars, each with a single row of riders.

Some, such as Flight of the Hippogriff at Islands of Adventure in Orlando, operate with two trains.

Instead of the chain lift found on most roller coasters, Vekoma Junior Coasters usually use friction wheels to carry the train up the lift hill.
