checking out google maps...

I was wondering how the train would work with the 2 trains, and there looks like a bypass setup at the halfway point along the tracks. Google takes forever to update their maps but check it out if ya want

That's what the bypass is for. Before and after the bypass it'a a single track so that trains will pass each other at the bypass.

I do like how you can walk around in the parks.

Wasn't sure what you meant for a second there, then I remembered you can do Google Street View in the Universal parks.

The trains are essentially set up like a horizontal funicular. The trains are cable-driven, attached to each other through pulleys. So each starts moving at the same time, and at the center point there's the bypass track. One train always goes to one side, the other on the other side. Because they're always moving together, there's no risk of a collision. They just glide past each other.

Good description, although I did have to look up 'funicular'.

Mother funicular, that's a pretty brilliant setup!
