Interlocking Loop coaster

Has anyone made a good coaster that has interlocking loops and work? Can i see a picture of it? I made onee that works during testing mode but the problem is the train doesn't get back to the station in time or anything to work. Don't send me to a site i want to see your working creations. unless you own the site.

I made lots of them. The best was a dueler called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I also interlocked alot with steel coasters and on my recreation of Loch Ness Monster. I would give your pics, but I don't know how to convert a .PCX file into something the forumc an handle.

Here is a picture of one, it's not all that easy to see, but it's there, and it was the only picture I had laying around that had them.

I've made lots of them. They're not as hard as most people think

Hey medusa, do you mean like dueling interlocking loopers? If not, what do you mean by not get back to the station in time to work?

It's easy if you use vertical coasters. I built a great vertical coaster with interlocking loops where they run through simultaniously. the excitement rating prior to theming is also extreme. 10.80 excitement level. high 9's for intensity.

ok, it will do it the first time but since the train gets back to the station people get on it the time is up it leaves and the other trains are still going around the track and didn't come back to the station so it didn't work.

Medusa, do you mean the trains won't go through the loops at the same time?

Medusa means that the trains are supposed to go through the loops at the same time---
he should fiddle with the min wait time and the max wait time

No, I have never gotten that to work, and I really don't think you will be able to consistantly be able to do that.

I know this must sound stupid to you because I really don't know what interlocking-loops are, or how to make them. it all sounds pretty cool though. Um, if someone could explain it to me in detail or maybe flip the picture of the Tomb that is shown above around at all four angles so i can see it .

Cool A place to look

OK, well there are animations that Dan from Danimation used but since have taken off his pages. He told Jim from RCT Station ( http://rct.gametropics.com ) to put them up, so that site has them. Just click on the Knowledge Base section then find the animations, they are great!

heres something i made once, where it has 4 loops interlocking!

The trains go through each loop at the same time and it really boosts the excitement.

Woah, the four interlocking loops are really neat! Great job, davidhinds84! I built a roller coaster with two interlocking loops, but the trains don't go through the loops at the same tim. Here's a pic...
