Stand-Up Coaster Explained – Theme Park Definition

A stand-up coaster restrains riders in an upright, standing posture, using a bicycle-style seat and an over-the-shoulder harness to hold them in place. Popular in the late 1980s and 1990s — chiefly from TOGO and B&M — the format changes how forces are felt through the body, with loops and turns putting unusual pressure on the legs. Few new stand-ups have been built since, and several have been converted to other formats (B&M's Mantis became the floorless Rougarou), making surviving examples a sought-after credit.
