A stand-up roller coaster features trains with cars that are ridden in a standing position. These rides often carry a higher height restriction than most roller coasters, as the restraints can be adjusted vertically to accommodate different rider heights. The first stand-up coaster was invented by Togo.
While popular in the 1980s and 90s, stand-up roller coasters have since fallen out of fashion, with many being either removed or converted to floorless roller coasters during the 2010s.
The type was revised with Pipeline the Surf Coaster, opened in 2023.
Notable stand-up roller coasters
- Merry Dolphin - The oldest ride of this type. Originally a sit-down coaster, it got stand-up trains in 1982.
- The Riddler's Revenge - The tallest, fastest, and longest stand-up roller coaster in the world. It also features the most inversions, with six.
