Inverted top hat on a rocket??

Anyone know if you can create an inverted top hat on the rocket coaster? So far I have a TTD style coaster but after the drop I want to make the track go back up and into an inverted top hat. I'm not sure if I'm doing somthing wrong or if that element isn't available in the game. Thanks for your help!

You can't.
It would be cool, though.

I think one feature they absolutely MUST add in any future patches is more track peices to the rocket. I mean, they don't even have the large hill tops/bottoms found on the hyper/giga coasters. (unless I missed them) So any 100mph rocket pulls like 10G's on the entrance and exit. Not to mention the only other element you can build is those hideous, pointy hills.
"Inverted" Top-Hat is redundant. A Top-Hat element ala Mr. Freeze and Robin of (Batman & Robin The Chiller) takes riders upsidedown. A reverse or outside Top-Hat is the one you see on Xcelerator.

Why not just refer to them as inverting and non-inverting top hats?

TTD has a non-inverting top hat.

Mr. Freeze has an inverting top hat.

It is not possible to build inverting top hats in RCT3 with the rocket coaster, however, you can build non-inverting top hats.

Kind of makes things nice and clear.

The worst is the smart-asses who say things like "An inverted top hat would actually be one without an inversion because a regular top hat inverts" - like they're the first geniuses to understand the double negative concept.

(also note the use of the "ing" sufffix as opposed to the "ed" suffix - makes all the difference in the world)

More like "verb conjugation, as applied to coaster elements", by Lord Gonchar ;)

Well, yeah, but "everybody should do as I say" sounds so much more authoritative.

Like what I say matters. :)


I knew someone would bring up the inverted Vs non inverted top hat issue. I agree with Gonch, it's inverted if you actually go upside down....hence the term "inversion".

I'm able to build what I want with the LIM coaster in RCT2 (haven't tried yet in RCT3) but I really wanted to do it with a rocket coaster using the Intamin box style track. Oh well, maybe in one of the updates.

Do you think they would add the inverted top-hat, in a update, or future expansion, or shall we bug them, like we did? LOL! :)
