Rollercoaster Idea

That would be a 'Vekoma Tilt Coaster'. How it works is the train goes up the lift hill, but at the top, instead of heading into a drop, the train moves onto a level peice of track (the one on the angle). Then, that track tilts upwards to 90 degrees where it meets up with the other track, then it releases the train and it goes through the rest of the circuit.
You can find more information about it here, at Vekoma's Website.

Sorry I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm going to try to explain to you step by step how it works.
1) Passengers load into coaster trains that are being "held" within the ship.
2) The ship starts to swing back and forth. Passengers are then sent into a 90 degree up one side and then as the ship gos backwards for the final time, the ship goes into the 90 degree angle but what happens is that is when the coaster train drops out onto track and then sent over some LIMs to keep its speed up and then it goes on the complete circuit.
3) The ship is being held steady by a "harness" holding it up from the back town holding up the ship and coaster tracks.
I know this can work. I'm building a model and when I finish the whole thing, I'll post the pics here. I would like some feedback. I know its a complicated idea but if it ever was built, I know it would be amazing.
