Ask the Experts / Shuttle Loop LL

How do you make an accurate Swartzkopf Shuttle Loop in LL. I know the layout, but how do you make it reverse through the station and go back up the rear spike?

This is fairly easy to do but not easy to explain

1) The station and rear spike need to be one rollercoaster (RC1) while the run to the loop, loop itself and front spike need to be another (RC2)

2) Merge directly out of the station of RC1 into the some flat track of RC2 (this needs to be the first square out of the station really)

3) Select the track for RC2 (the front spike track) and zero clearences. Then build flat track backwards so that you place standard roller coaster track on the same squares of the station of the other rollercoaster. This will not merge as the track types are different.

4) When you reach the last tile of the station you can restore clearences and merge RC2 backwards into the Rear spike of RC1.

Thank you for actually helping me instead of bashing me for my low RCT skills. Maybe you should put that into Roomie's Parks n' Hacks.

nice diagram roomie.

the question is why do you want to replicate an old hack that has been done abundantly over the years ...?

To be fair Posix it may have been done 100 times but if your going to place a shuttle loop in a park why wouldn't you hack it to be like this? especially if your going for realism?

on top of that, learning to do the more simple hacks is always good for a newer player.
