Ask the Experts / Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster

Hi, you want to build a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster in RCT2, but you need a tutorial for it, then here you´re right!

Ok. At first you have to know, which track pieces you can use and which you shouldn´t use, cause the error trapper.
You can see it in the following pic (green = OK ; red = NO):



After you know which elements you can use, you can plan a layout.
You should plan it with the swinning turns coaster, but after that you should build the mini-coaster track first, maybe something like this:



Then go to 8cars and raise it to the clouds:



After that you can build the same layout with the swinning-turns coaster under it, BUT build it 1.5m or 3m higher as it should ride later. Why you´ll see later!!!



Then bring the mini-coaster track down again:





Now you can make the track of the swinning-turns coaster invisible:



But like you see, the train rides ca 1m under the track...



so you have to put the track -1m down again, and it fits.





CSO, that are really helpful for the supporting are these:



And when you are ready, for example it could look like this:

Don't know if they changed anything in RCT2 but in LL you can just change the train type to an inverted train on a regular above track coaster and it automatically places the train below it at the correct height.

If that works in RCT2 then it might allow you to include those track pieces that you can't use right now. You would have to go through and use the FF invisible method (guessing gee's method will work the same way) however to include the banked track elements for the track and such if the train sprite doesn't have the banked turn frames.

think what loopy says should work. else try to use the station of a rapids and merge that with the main track. than make the rapids track invisible. that should lower your train enough. maybe it even lowes it to much.

Great Tutorial Prodigy and very well presented.

As loopy suggested it IS possible in LL to use the pieces in Red at the top too. but it makes it's alot more complicated and i again dont know if it would work in RCT 2. I have a suspended using this technique in a park due out very soon.

Awesome, thanks Prodigy! I'll definately have to try this..

It looks great, I can't wait to see one of these ingame, I always love your ideas prodigy, but can't you just use the suspended swinging coaster for these types of rides. Though it would be a great idea for an intamin launched suspended coaster
