Track Merging

Merging is a hack that allows the trains of a tracked ride to travel along the track of another ride. This is commonly used to add track elements to a ride that are only found on other types of Roller Coaster.

The essential part of a track merge is that both rides have an identical piece of track on the same square at the same height (the direction of the track can differ). This is the point where the train will leave the track of one ride and move onto the next.

The merge only works in one direction, so it is important that you get this the right way round.

The easiest and most problem free way is to use 8 Cars. See 8cars track merging or the tutorial on the 8Cars homepage.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure both sections of track are facing in the direction you want
  • The pieces of track where the joint is must be the same track element
