You have to remove the "v=" and then you'll have this:

I love how you've come up with a very realistic chain lift for all types of coasters GAW!

I did notice that there's 2 problems that come up when I build it for me:

1) the chain can get stuck or even fall out if the distance between the 2 sets of gears on the lift are too far apart or there isn't enough tension on the chain.

2.) Sometimes the car's wheel assebly hits the blue rods but it can easily be fixed by adding those black connector/clip parts.

Do you think you could/it's possible to create a chain lift system similar to this with the single splicers/connectors as well?? I'm a bit curious to find out...

When I built it these are the problems that outscored:

1. The coaster car's wheels hit the blue rod.

2. The bottom of the coaster car hit the top of the guide where the tubing gose


Help would also be appreciated
