Template:Infobox roller coaster

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should only be used in articles on individual roller coasters. It should not be used in the park's article, as the auto-categorization will place the article in several inappropriate categories. Also, it should not be used in park articles because every coaster should have its own article, and cluttering up the park's article with infoboxes simply doesn't look good.

For dual-tracked coasters, use {{Infobox dual roller coaster}}.

Additional locations

Additional locations should be placed in separate calls to {{Infobox roller coaster/extend}} back-to-back with the |extend= parameter as shown below:

| extend= {{Infobox roller coaster/extend
  | location= site1 ...
  }}{{Infobox roller coaster/extend
  | location= site2 ...
  }}

Note how "extend=" replaces the top-level "location=" parameter, while each "/extend" sub-infobox has a separate "location=" parameter for each site name, plus status and "opened=" date or "year=" etc. See the guidelines for the "extend=" parameter for details on how to add information for additional locations. For a full example with several locations, see: "Batman: The Ride" using 7 sub-infoboxes to list locations.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Example
Title and images
name	The coaster's full, official name. Should not be linked.	Kingda Ka
previousnames	Any previous names of the coaster. Include years of use if possible.	Corkscrew (1982–2009)
logo	The logo of the coaster. Use only the filename of the image. For example, you should use "Buzzsaw logo.png" instead of "[[File:Buzzsaw logo.png|250px]]"	Buzzsaw logo.png
logodimensions	Set the size of the above image. If "[[File:Buzzsaw logo.png|200px]]" would have been used otherwise, the imagedimensions is "200px". Must be expressed as a number, followed by "px".	200px
image	The primary picture of the coaster. Use only the filename of the image. For example, you should use "Kingda Ka.jpg" instead of "[[File:Kingda Ka.jpg|250px]]"	Kingda Ka.jpg
imagedimensions	Set the size of the above image. If "[[File:Kingda Ka.jpg|200px]]" would have been used otherwise, the imagedimensions is "200px". Must be expressed as a number, followed by "px".	200px
caption	The caption for the picture.	An overview of Kingda Ka
Primary location
location	The name of the park where the coaster resides, or use "Portable" if the coaster does not have a fixed location. Use the full, properly capitalized name of the park. Do not include disambiguatory brackets as described in locationarticle below, and do not link it. It will be linked automatically, so the park name must be exact.	La Ronde
locationarticle	If a park article contains disambiguatory brackets, for example La Ronde (amusement park), then use the complete name here. This will link the text in the 'location' field to the correct article.	La Ronde (amusement park)
altname	Name of ride at primary location, if different from the article name. Name history may be placed here as an unbulleted list using {{plainlist}} or {{ubs}}.	{{ubl|Name 1 (1900–2000)|Name 2 (2000–present)}}
section	The section of the park where the coaster is located. Should not be linked, as a section link will be automatically generated using the location parameter. For example, a location of Six Flags Great Adventure and a section of Golden Kingdom will create this link: [[Six Flags Great Adventure#Golden Kingdom|Golden Kingdom]].	Golden Kingdom
subsection	If the coaster is located within a subsection of a larger section within a park, provide the name for that subsection here. Should not be linked, a section link will be automatically generated using the location parameter.	X-Base
coordinates	The geographical coordinates for the roller coaster's station. The template {{Coord}} should be used with the parameter display=inline,title for a single coaster or display=inline for multiple coasters. Coordinates should be rounded to the nearest .0001 (ten thousandths).	{{coord|-27.8623|153.3149 |type:landmark |display=inline,title}}
status	The current status of the roller coaster: Operating, Closed, Under construction, Removed. For long-term closures, use Closed. For those under refurbishment, use Under construction.	Operating
opened	The date the coaster officially opened to the public. For unofficial preview openings, use the "soft-opened" parameter. Use the {{Start date}} template and add the df=yes flag when the country the coaster is located in uses the DD-MM-YY date format. This will auto-categorize by opening year.	{{Start date|2011|9|17}}
soft_opened	The date the coaster first opened unofficially and not to the public. Should be used for preview dates (e.g., media day) using the {{Start date}} template and add the df=yes flag when the country the coaster is located in uses the DD-MM-YY date format.	{{Start date|2011|9|17|df=yes}}
year	The year the coaster opened under its current name (optional). This overrides the opened parameter and categorizes the coaster by opening year (helpful when the current name is not the same as when it first opened). Must only contain numerals and should only be used in conjunction with the "opened" parameter.	2011
closed	The date the coaster officially closed and ceased operations. Should only be used if the coaster is closed permanently or indefinitely. Do not use this field for seasonal closures or when the coaster is undergoing routine maintenance. Use the {{End date}} template and add the df=yes flag when the country the coaster is located in uses the DD-MM-YY date format.	{{End date|2003|8|8|df=yes}}
cost	The cost of construction expressed in the currency of the country where the coaster is located.	[[A$]]7 million
previousattraction	If this coaster replaced another ride, supply the name of the attraction it replaced and link as needed.	[[The Space Diver]]
replacement	If this coaster was replaced, supply the name of the attraction that replaced it and link as needed.	[[X-Flight (Six Flags Great America)|X-Flight]]
location_website	The coaster's official website URL for the particular location this is specified for. See Batman: The Ride.	{{Official website |https://www.sixflags.com /greatamerica/attractions/batman-ride}}
location_custom_label =
location_custom_value =
location_virtual_queue_name	Use these fields if virtual queuing system availability is different at different locations. The name parameter is used to describe what it is (e.g. Disney's Fastpass, Universal Express, Dreamworld's Q4U etc.). The status field should read "available" if the virtual queuing system is available. The image parameter should contain the name (without the [[File:]] or [[File:]] tag. Examples include: Universal Express availability.svg Fastpass availability icon.svg (could also be used for Six Flags' Flash Pass) Dreamworld Q4U availability.svg Cedar Fair Fast Lane availibility.svg Merlin Entertainment Fastrack availibility.svg	[[Q4U]]
location_virtual_queue_image		Dreamworld Q4U availability.svg
location_virtual_queue_status		available
location_single_rider	Include any of these fields followed by the word "available" if any of these have different availability at different locations. If any of these are available at all locations, use the non-location specific versions in "Rider information" section below. "accessible" refers to Wheelchair Accessibility. "transfer_accessible" means riders must transfer from wheelchair.	available
location_accessible
location_transfer_accessible
location_assistive_listening
location_cc
location_pay_per_use	Set to "yes" if the ride is a Pay-Per-Use attraction at the first location, but isn't at all locations	yes
location_rcdb_number	The number in the URL of the coaster's location-specific RCDB page	2832
Additional locations
extend	This parameter allows information about the same roller coaster (either relocation or mirror copy) to be added within the same infobox. It relies on Template:Infobox roller coaster/extend which contains all of the "Primary location" parameters described above. Full syntax is shown in the Additional locations section above. One or more of these templates can be concatenated together.	{{Infobox roller coaster/extend | location = Carowinds | section = Planet Snoopy | status = Operating | opened = {{Start date|2003|3|22}} | year = 2003 }}
Specific details
type	The primary type, Steel or Wood. This is what the track is made of, not necessarily the support structure. This should not be anything else and should not be linked. It will be linked automatically, and the coaster will be added to the appropriate category: Category:Steel roller coasters or Category:Wooden roller coasters.	Steel
type2	The secondary and tertiary types. It can be any one of the following, or another type, if appropriate: 4th Dimension Bobsled Dive Coaster Duelling Enclosed Floorless Coaster Flying Indoor Inverted Launched Powered Racing Shuttle Side friction Spinning Stand-up Suspended Virginia Reel Wild Mouse Wing Coaster This parameter should not be linked. It will be linked automatically and add the coaster to a category for that type. For example, "Inverted" will link to Inverted roller coaster and add the coaster to Category:Inverted roller coasters. Note: This is not the track layout. Out and Back, Twister, Moebius Loop, Terrain etc. do not belong in this parameter, they have their own. Also, the height category (Megacoaster, Gigacoaster, Stratacoaster) doesn't belong here, it will be calculated from the height.	Launched
type3		Shuttle
manufacturer	The full, official name of the coaster's primary manufacturer. This should NOT be linked, it will be automatically linked and it will add the coaster to a category for that manufacturer.	Intamin
manufacturerarticle	If a manufacturer article contains disambiguatory brackets, for example Lagoon (amusement park), then use the complete name here. This will direct the text in the 'manufacturer' field to the right page.	Lagoon (amusement park)
designer	The coaster's designer, if RCDB lists one. This will not be automatically linked or add the coaster to a category. Please link it to an appropriate article (if applicable).	[[Werner Stengel]]
model	The coaster's model, as listed on RCDB. This will often, but not always, be the same as the secondary type. It will not be automatically linked, it should only be linked if it differs from the secondary type.	SkyLoop
track	The track layout as listed on RCDB. This could be something like Out and Back, Twister, Moebius Loop, Terrain etc. Because track layouts can vary greatly from the standard ones, this parameter will not be automatically linked and will not automatically add the coaster to a category.	[[Out and back roller coaster|Out and back]]
Statistics
lift	The type of lift or launch system used by the coaster. Common choices include chain lift hill, cable lift hill, linear motor launch track, hydraulic launch track. This parameter will not be automatically linked or categorized, so link as appropriate. When more than one lift hill exists, it should be mentioned.	2 Chain [[lift hill]]s
height_ft	All of these parameters must use values that are entirely numeric. The roller coaster's height, drop, and length may be expressed in feet or metres (if feet and inches are given, use decimals instead) and speed may be expressed in miles per hour or kilometres per hour. Conversions to SI/metric (metres or km/h) or imperial/US customary (feet or mph) will automatically be calculated and included – this is why these parameters must be entirely numeric. For example, a height value of "230" must be used instead of "230 ft" or anything similar. Additionally, the height_ft or height_m parameter will be used to automatically place the coaster in the appropriate height category: Megacoaster, Gigacoaster, or Stratacoaster.	152
height_m		46.2
drop_ft		150
drop_m		45
length_ft		490
length_m		150
speed_mph		65
speed_km/h		105
inversions	The number of times riders are turned upside down during the ride. This should be consistent with RCDB. Beyond-vertical drops should not be included. Roller coasters that navigate their inversion(s) twice (such as Boomerangs) should only include each inversion once.	2
duration	The actual duration of the ride. The duration is based on RCDB.	0:50
angle	The maximum vertical angle, in degrees, attained by the track, based on RCDB. This will usually, but not always, be the angle of the first drop. Inversions are not counted – if they were, for example, any coaster with a loop would have an angle of 90 degrees, as the track attains this angle twice as part of the loop.	120
capacity	The theoretical maximum number of guests that the coaster can accommodate in one hour. Based on RCDB.	600
acceleration	The rate of acceleration of the coaster based on RCDB. This will normally only be used for launched coasters. If this parameter is used you must express the acceleration in full.	0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 2 seconds
acceleration_from	The rate of acceleration of the coaster. This will normally only be used for launched coasters. One must use acceleration_in, either acceleration_mph or acceleration_km/h, and optionally acceleration_from. acceleration_from is the initial speed of the roller coaster before acceleration, this parameter is optional defaulting to zero, it can be given in either mph or km/h, the value must be numeric. acceleration_mph is the final speed of the roller coaster in mph, conversions to km/h will be given (acceleration_from will be assumed to be in mph), the value must be numeric. acceleration_km/h, similarly, is the final speed of the roller coaster in km/h, conversions to mph will be given (acceleration_from will be assumed to be in km/h), the value must be numeric. acceleration_in in the number of seconds taken, the value does not have to be numeric.	0
acceleration_mph		62
acceleration_km/h		100
acceleration_in		2
gforce	The maximum G force that riders experience during the ride per RCDB.	5
trains	Must be used together. If one of the fields is missing none of the information entered will be displayed. Must contain only numeric characters. Most of these statistics can be found near the bottom of an RCDB page. If the number of trains is the only thing that is unknown, add the word "Several" for the trains parameter.	7

Rider information
restriction_ft	Height restriction of the roller coaster. All values must be entirely numeric. The template will automatically convert the values and display them in feet and inches and in centimetres. For the imperial unit of measure, a combination of the feet and inches parameters can be used (e.g. 4ft 6in).	4
restriction_in		48
restriction_cm		120
virtual_queue_name	Use these fields if there is a virtual queuing system available. The name parameter is used to describe what it is (e.g. Disney's Fastpass, Universal Express, Dreamworld's Q4U etc.). The status field should read "available" if the virtual queuing system is available. The image parameter should contain the name (without the [[File:]] or [[File:]] tag. Examples include: Universal Express availability.svg Fastpass availability icon.svg (could also be used for Six Flags' Flash Pass) Dreamworld Q4U availability.svg Cedar Fair Fast Lane availibility.svg Merlin Entertainment Fasttrack availability.svg	[[Q4U]]
virtual_queue_image		Dreamworld Q4U availability.svg
virtual_queue_status		available
single_rider	Include any of these fields followed by the word "available" if any of these apply to the attraction at all locations. If any of these are different at different locations, use the location-specific versions in the "Rider information" section above and {{Infobox roller coaster/extend}}. "accessible" refers to Wheelchair Accessibility. "transfer_accessible" means riders must transfer from wheelchair.	available

Additional information
pay_per_use	Set to "yes" if the ride is a Pay-Per-Use attraction	yes
rcdb_number	The number in the URL (not the full URL) of the coaster's entry at the Roller Coaster Database. For example, Kingda Ka's RCDB page is https://rcdb.com/2832.htm so the RCDB Number for Kingda Ka is 2832. The template will also pull the number from Wikidata, if it is available	2832
theme	The specific ride theme. Should be linked.	[[Superman]]
website	The coaster's official website.	{{Official website |https://www.sixflags.com /greatadventure/attractions/kingda-ka}}
custom_label_1 … custom_label_8	If there is a general statistic that is missing from the above categories, include it here. The label fields will appear in bold on the left while the values will appear normally on the right.	Replaced
custom_value_1 … custom_value_8		Iron Wolf
Video
video	The primary picture of the coaster. Use only the filename of the image. For example, you should use "Kanonen, Liseberg.ogv" instead of "[[File:Kanonen, Liseberg.ogv|250px]]"	Kanonen, Liseberg.ogv
videodimensions	Set the size of the above video. If "[[File:Kanonen, Liseberg.ogv|200px]]" would have been used otherwise, the imagedimensions is "200px". Must be expressed as a number, followed by "px".	200px
videocaption	The caption for the video.	Video showing the entire ride from a first person view.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
