A hyper roller coaster is a full-circuit roller coaster that is built for height, speed and airtime. These coasters are between 200 and 299 feet (61 and 91.1 metres) tall and typically feature an out and back layout.
To date all hyper roller coasters have had steel track except for the now-defunct Son of Beast.
