Now you have Millennium Force for Strata coaster.

What about Giant Inverted Boomerang (Deja Vu)? That might go under shuttle coasters, but I don't know.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

You should have classified these by Manufacturer, such as:

B&M:
Flying
Floorless
Standup

Arrow:
4th Dimension
Sitdown
Suspended

Vekoma:
Flying Dutchman
Inverted
Inverted Shuttle

...and so on. You can basically find all this information on RCDB.

[coastermaniac]

You could have posted a link to RCDB and it would have give the same thing.

Except a lot better

So... is an Ultru-Lite like a gigga coaster but under 300ft.?

[mynci321]

So... is an Ultru-Lite like a gigga coaster but under 300ft.?

An Ultra-Lite is a coaster, Usually that goes over 100 ft, that has a large turn at the bottom of the first drop. It is manufactured By intamin.

Intamin - Pioneer of Amusement Rides - Mega-Lite Coaster

The unique Mega-Lite Coaster belongs to the family of high coasters, with the first drop of almost 30m, resulting in train speeds up to almost 90 km/h.

The layout is characterized by steep hills and drops, high speed horizontal turns at or close to ground level, over-banked curves, a twisting winding ‘up & down’ middle section, air-borne S-curves, and the hilly camel backs and bunny humps towards the end of the ride. As there are no overhead figures foreseen, open design trains with lapbars can be used to further enhancing the thrill experience.

There's no point to come up with our own list of coaster types when it has already been done, and much better than we could do.
