I think we need to better distinguish 4th dimension coasters from spinning mice coasters. Spinning mice coasters (Crazy Mouse, Euro Mir, etc.) are a completely different type of ride. WillMcC 18:27, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes 4th Dimension coasters must have an horizontal axis rotation, and in spinning roller coaster is vertical. I wrote the spanish version, and I write two articles, one for 4D coasters and oter for spinning coasters.--81.172.11.39 01:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, in addition, 4th dimension coasters do not spin freely, they are controlled by another set of wheels and an additional set of rails. It's not quite a 'Zipper' on rails as some say. dj_ansi 08:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with X

I opposed the merging of this artice with the X roller coaster article. Instead, I think X should be referenced in the article, and vice versa. Since X is merely one example of a spinning coaster, merging the two would be like merging the McDonald's article with the fast food article. Dan
