After the recreation of Twister at Grouna Lund failed, I decided to just build a terrain coaster. The only part I have built yet is the final drop into a crater/hole type thing before the brake run. The picture quality is very very bad, but here it is.

90 degree turn,

The only reason there is not a spine in this rollercoaster is because it doesn't need one, I tested the train on the track and it did not move at all. Although there will be a spine in some sections.

​I didn't choose the band life, the band life chose me.

Make sure to clean the track before you run the train over it. Else dirt and dust will gather on the track and clog up your wheels.

It looks good, but I think that you're putting the track on upside-down.

This looks VERY interesting! Indeed I don't think you will need a track spine BUT you'll want to have a structure to support the lift hill. Everything else looks really good!

Thank you, I didn't even think about that when I first started building this.

I checked the track and one of the track sections was upside-down, so I fixed it. Thanks.

Thank you, I am doing modifications to the lift right now so it can have more speed, I might even reverse the rollercoaster so it has a first drop into the canyon/hole/crater/ravine type thing.
