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!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Train Simulator Roller Coaster at 3.3 against iRollerCoaster's 2.6. Train Simulator Roller Coaster also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). iRollerCoaster's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Train Simulator Roller Coaster holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iRollerCoaster has 92 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of iRollerCoaster's written reviews are positive against 0% of Train Simulator Roller Coaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iRollerCoaster ships an update every 25 months, Train Simulator Roller Coaster every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
