Ask the Experts / Merging special vertical tracks

Kinda self-explanatory. It always bothered me how the top of  S&S Thrust Air Coasters was way too small, so I tried expanding it with some Dive Machine track. Sadly, I always get an error trapper, as it seems that that one piece of vertical S&S track equals about 3 pieces of regular vertical track. Any way to get around this? I used OpenRCT2, no idea how to do vertical merges with 8cars. 

I'm not sure but you may be doing it on the wrong tile - try adding two flat pieces at the top of the vertical coaster track so the merge takes place over the track bit rather than the support bit.

Won't work. Merges only work when two track pieces that are exactly the same overlap. A straight B&M track piece equals a straight wooden coaster track piece, but these two vertical pieces are not equal. That's why it doesn't work.

You could build the while spike as vertical coaster track and then lower some S&S into place to give the appearance on the vertical sections.
