G Roller Coaster

Make a rollercoaster in teams of two with two lifts that does not use magic features like accelerator track. Show it to me. It needs to work without intervention.

To run Coaster

0. Go to a PC in the back of the room

1. Run DOSbox

2. type these commands at the prompt. (Hit enter after each command)

cycles=max

mount c c:\COASTER

c:

coaster

If you type alt-enter it will go full screen

Remember - your first bit of attached track needs to be a level 24 foot section of lift track, after that you can tip it up.

After the first lift, you must tilt the coaster track downwards. At this point, test the ride to make sure it gets on the first lift.

Tips - put your station at a gridline to help you line up the final section of track

Right clicking the angle tipping button on the track editor increases the angle by 5 degrees at a time.

The general strategy for a rollercoaster, is to have a lift, a drop, and then a bunch of track that never goes higher than that initial lift (because of energy), then another lift, a drop, and a bunch of track lower than that lift.

Try out your rollercoaster periodically so see if it works. There is no real way to edit it once you have made it. When you get to your second lift, make sure it is going fast enough to get on the lift chain.

At the end, to finish your 'coaster, line the track up with the other end of the station, and click the "Fin" button.

Happy coasting.
