Powered roller coaster

Unlike a true roller coaster, the train is powered through the entire course, rather than being allowed to coast after an initial lift or launch.

The most common manufacturers of powered coasters are Mack, Wisdom Rides, and Zamperla.

This allows the tyres attached to the motor to "grip" the track and propel the train forward.

A powered coaster generally runs a single train and may traverse the circuit multiple times before stopping at the station.

In Genting highlands, The Flying Dragon[1] was the world's longest powered roller coaster in terms of ride length but has been demolished.
