Pteranodon Flyers

The single rail has a metal fin welded on top of it.  A set of wheels pinches this rail to control the car's roll angle.  A hinge is located between the car's chassis and the pteranodon's wings.  This allows the cars to swing laterally based on centripetal forces in the turns.  Each seat is equipped with a simple lapbar to restrain riders.
