After making Top Thrill Dragster, I wanted to make another ride from the amusement park Cedar Point in Ohio. I decided on one of my favorites, Wicked Twister (there is an image in the scene), but didn't realize how hard it would be to make that.

Basically, the ride shoots a car down a track, the car twists up one side, zooms across, and twists up the other side, then repeats a few times. (You can look up a video if you want to)

I have the basic design of the cars and the track down pretty well, but I am posting this testing scene to see if I can get help and suggestions on:

a. how to start (launch) the cart,
b. how to make it travel up and down each side multiple times without getting stuck or exploding,
and c. possibly decrease friction helping it get stuck less (the friction is already set low but the track might be too rough)

PLEASE comment ANYTHING (comments, suggestions, recommendations, etc.) because I think this is a good idea that I simply cannot create with the knowledge that I currently have. I have tried using thrusters, shooting the cars with springs, and even using attraction to move the car from one side to another, but none of it has worked for me. For now, you can use the Drag Tool to see how it works. Feel free to download and re-upload this scene with changes, ideas, or improvements and I would be thrilled to see anything you can come up with. Thank you!!
