The cars could spiral out of control; causing nausea, whiplash, or sudden death. Our roller coasters use a realistic lift hill cable to pull the cars to the peak of the track. Once the cars reach the peak, potential energy accumulated by the rise in height transfers to kinetic energy and the cars race downwards. Some energy is lost to friction on the track itself. The effects of gravity are taken into account to increase speed and accelerations accurately. You can experience several G's of force on high-speed turns! iRollerCoaster features: - Advanced OpenGL graphics - Music and sound effects - Online high score database - High-resolution textures - Compatible with iPad Pro iRollerCoaster is brought to you by the makers of World Winter Games and iBASEjump. Have fun with iRollerCoaster and enjoy the ride!

This theme park’s new roller coaster is unbelievable - amazingly fast, super crazy and incredibly fun! How fast can you get the new roller coaster’s passengers from start to finish across the amusement park without losing anyone? Super simple controls make Hyper Roller Coaster a breeze - the theme in this theme park is tapping! Control the train’s speed as it climbs through its crazy fun roller coaster twists — the faster you go, the more money you get and the more you can afford to upgrade your theme park’s rickety roller coaster (not to make it safer, just faster and more fun). Load up your train, start tapping, and give your hyper roller coaster passengers the theme park ride of their (fleeting) lives! People fly out of the train - lose money. People stay in the train, more money! IGRS rating: 13+

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hyper Roller Coaster at 4.6 against iRollerCoaster's 2.7. Hyper Roller Coaster also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 92). iRollerCoaster's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
