The first manufacturer to employ the format was [[TOGO]], a Japanese company that converted two traditional roller coasters in 1982 to stand-up configurations. [[Arrow Dynamics]] followed suit in the United States the following year with their own conversion. The first roller coaster designed from the ground up as a stand-up coaster was [[King Cobra (roller coaster)|King Cobra]], built by TOGO, which opened at Kings Island in 1984. [[Intamin]] and [[Bolliger & Mabillard]] (B&M) have also designed stand-up models beginning in the 1990s, with the latest opening in 2023 as [[Pipeline: The Surf Coaster]] in [[SeaWorld Orlando]], which was the first stand up roller coaster built since 1999's [[Georgia Scorcher]] at [[Six Flags Over Georgia]]. Although riders stand, they have access to a height-adjustable [[Bicycle saddle|bicycle seat]] in many configurations. Older designs from the now-defunct TOGO typically used over-the-shoulder or lap-bar restraints to secure riders. B&M models add a seat belt that connects the bicycle seat to the harness for additional security.
