==Design== [[Image:Riddler's Revenge train.JPG|thumb|Trains feature saddle seats that move vertically to accommodate various heights. ([[The Riddler's Revenge]] at [[Six Flags Magic Mountain]])]] Three manufacturers—[[TOGO]], [[Intamin]] and [[Bolliger & Mabillard]]—have constructed multiple stand-up roller coasters. TOGO's stand-up models feature cars that seat four passengers in two rows of two. Models from Intamin and B&M also seat four riders per car, but in a single four-abreast row. On a standard roller coaster, the rider is held in their seat by some form of harness, such as a lap bar or an over-the-shoulder restraint. As stand-up roller coasters, by their design, do not have "seats," the harness system must both restrain and support the rider. Typical stand-up roller coaster harnesses are mounted on vertical posts, which allow the harness to adjust to riders of different heights. At the bottom is a seat resembling that on a bicycle, while at the top is an over-the-shoulder harness. TOGO models normally use a lap bar to further secure riders, while B&M models add a seat belt to connect the bicycle seat to the shoulder harness. With some exceptions, stand-up roller coasters normally feature at least one inversion. These inversions can include [[vertical loop]]s, [[Roller coaster elements#Inclined loop|inclined loop]]s, [[Roller coaster elements#Dive loop|dive loop]]s and [[Roller coaster elements#Corkscrew|corkscrew]]s. Only one stand-up roller coaster, the [[Shockwave (Drayton Manor)|Shockwave]] at [[Drayton Manor Theme Park]] in the [[United Kingdom]], includes a [[Roller coaster elements#Zero-gravity roll|zero-gravity roll]].
