IF you can superelevate the tracks, the trains probably wouldn't ride them proper.

IIRC the "Rollercoaster" route had banked curves and realy awesome loops and stuff. I think the one who did it played a bit with the world files or sum'ut./JonatanSteam rules!

RE: Banking

You can make tracks bank in a curve, but the joints are awful and the trains won't bank anyway, so I don't recommend it. See here:http://www.train-sim.com/cgi/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=2079&forum=DCForumID6In my roller coasters (MegaCoaster Route), there is no banking, even though the tracks make all sorts of crazy loops.
