==History== The flying roller coaster is a relatively new concept. The world's first flying roller coaster was ''[[Skytrak]]'', built in [[Manchester, United Kingdom]] at the [[Granada Studios Tour]] in 1997.<ref name="Skytrak">{{cite web|url=http://rcdb.com/id2380.htm|title=Skytrak|work=www.rcdb.com|access-date=2008-08-21}}</ref> The ''Skytrak'' used a single-passenger car. Riders would climb into the car in much the same fashion as climbing a ladder, then the car would be raised up to the track before being dispatched. The single-passenger design kept the ride's capacity low, at only 240 riders per hour.<ref name="Skytrak"/> The park, and ''Skytrak'' itself, were short-lived; both closed in 1998.
