The Reverse Freefall rendered from its in-game model

In the game

The Reverse Freefall builds only straight track and one spike: the tower. There is no track behind the station, so the launch track and the station brake the falling car when it comes back down, and launch it again if it has more runs.

It is the tallest coaster type and one of the fastest. Its small car carries few riders, so build it for the thrill and the skyline, not for the queue.

In Park Baron the Reverse Freefall can rise 151 m above the ground under its track. It can build steep slopes, vertical drops and top hats and launch track, but not tight turns and loops and corkscrews. Its launch track pushes the train up to 131 km/h. Its trains run 2 cars of 4 seats, 8 riders a train, and its station is 4 to 6 tiles long. Track costs $140 a piece and the station $2,000; it costs $1,100 a month to run, and guests pay $4.5 a ride by default. The type adds 0.45 excitement to whatever the track earns and 0.4 nausea, and its rolling friction is 0.009. Children are too short to ride it. It comes with Founding Baron.

Its showpiece design, Zenith, climbs 67 m, reaches 140 km/h and pulls 4.8 g, with 0 inversions over 112 m of track and a 17-second ride. It rates 7.15 excitement, 5.80 intensity and 1.85 nausea, costs $7,200 and fills 2 × 19 tiles.

The ready-made designs

Every coaster type comes with a starter, a crowd-pleaser and a showpiece, at least one Light design (intensity 4.5 or under) and, except the gentle Junior, one Extreme (7.5 or over). These are the Reverse Freefall’s, tested with the game’s own physics.

Building tips

The real thing

Real reverse freefall coasters launch a car along a level track that curves up a tower of more than 100 m, where it stops, hangs for a moment and falls back down backwards.
