A Pipeline Roller Coaster is a classification of roller coaster. It refers to a roller coaster with cars that travel in-between the rails, as opposed to above or below. Only Intamin AG and TOGO have successfully made a Pipeline coaster but a prototype was produced by Arrow Dynamics in their factory. This was scrapped due to roughness however.
