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: [[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

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}}

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: [[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

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.

Measurement conversions

By default, measurement conversions in this template invoke {{convert}}, which will automatically attempt to round to a level of precision that is similar to the input value. Most of the time, this works as expected. However, there are situations where the output may not be satisfactory.

Default behavior, for comparison:
  • |speed_km/h=179 → 179 km/h (111 mph) Green tickY
  • |speed_km/h=180 → 180 km/h (110 mph) Red XN

In the second example above, the actual conversion is 111.847. However, the input value of 180 only has two significant figures, so the conversion rounds to the nearest tens position resulting in 110. A workaround available in this template is to specify the number of significant figures.

  • |speed_km/h=180
|sigfig_speed=3 → 180 km/h (112 mph) Green tickY
Note: Setting |sigfig_speed=3 forces the conversion to use three signficant figures and round to the ones position resulting in 112 (rounds up from 111.8).

Here is a complete list of available |sigfig= parameters:

  • |sigfig_height=
  • |sigfig_drop=
  • |sigfig_length=
  • |sigfig_speed=

Tracking categories

Hidden maintenance/tracking categories which may be added to articles using this infobox:

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.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • category
  • county-name
  • extended-address
  • fn
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • region
  • street-address
  • uid
  • url
  • vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • geo
  • latitude
  • longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
