After breaking my leg by hitting a pole on my bike, I was in the hospital for three days. After coming home, my leg was still swollen and I could barely move for almost another week. This means that my coaster (Forbidden Chamber) has been sitting down in the basement for over 2 weeks. (Still haven't got to it yet.)
My leg still isn't flexible enough to be sitting in the positions that I usually do when I am building. I did manage to go down there a couple days ago and test it, though. It made the turning hill, made the immelmann, and then actually stopped right in the middle of the zero-g roll. How do I get my coaster to work/make the elements again after it's been sitting there for almost 3 weeks? Should I just re-lube it or is there a more complicated process?

Try heating you're basment, and re-tracking the coaster....The coaster's probably flexed and created bumps, and since it's a basement It aint going to be that warm.

^that, and also just try to straighten all the bumps out because they are usually many in zero-g's.

^He does that with most every post. He just re-words what the person above him says so it dosn't count as "spam". But in reality it is because it is a pointless post.
But on-topic: Just try to do what CA said. Also re-lube your track.

This is what CAC does, and I've done it and it helps alot.-soak your cars in warm, slightly soapy water for 30 minutes, let them dry, re-lube them, and let the cars sit for 2 or 3 days. And while you're waiting you can fix any bumps that may have formed on the coaster. BTW, nice to see that you're back.
