EastCoastn07- I'd be happy to help in troubleshooting your problem. Here's a few things to make sure before it's complete.
  • make sure that it works when visible
  • If you can't get the 2nd transfer to work correctly, try turning the whole track around so that it faces the other direction, and do the exact same thing as before. That could sometimes be the problem.
  • I updated the links in the first post (they broke when the rct2.com forums changed URL's), so try that tutorial and see if something is wrong with the hack in there.
If I understand your problem correctly, you're having a problem getting the teal to green transfer to work. (see first pic for color-track reference). This is where the 2nd part of the list would apply best. If this isn't what you mean, please clarify what's going wrong.

RCT_Master- I actually lost the version of this ride that I created when I taught myself how to do it when I reformatted my computer. I'm very busy right now, but I'll have some more free time in early March (only about a week away) and I'll see if I can make one up for you. You could also make up the park that you're planning and I can put one in when the area around it is developed and set up if you'd like.

Since I'd rather see what other people in the community can do before I do the work for them, do you have a picture of your attempt, and maybe I'd be able to point out what looks wrong? This is a very odd looking ride when the track is showing, but the motion is the only thing that you should worry about when making this.

As I've said many times, this is a very difficult hack, and a very time-consuming and frustrating one to do. If you have patience, then go ahead and try it, but if you would rather just take the easy road and get something very similar by:

1. Build a track representing the swinging motion (using inverted shuttle coaster track or inverted vertical shuttle coaster track)
2. Use the Mini Suspended Swinging coaster train for the train type
3. Set the mode to reverse freefall, and set the circuits to the number of swings you want.

This one doesn't work the same with the station, but it gets the idea across. (Thanks to Shock Wave SFGAm for reminding me about this version)

Yeah, I'm just having trouble connecting the very top level to fall back to the second level...I just can't seem to figure out how to relate this to the other tutorials because when I tried it didn't work. Is there anyway you could explain just how to hack this portion of the ride when they aren't connected yet. I mean, I got the station, first tower and first swing complete I just need to know how to connect the first level with the second tower so the train falls back to the second level. I'm sure 3rd level is the same way so maybe if you supply a few steps setting up what I'm asking for, I could probably figure out the other as well.

This probably isn't the place to ask for technical help (as there is a section just for that) but I'm not sure I understand your question anyways, could you restate it a little better.
and maybey try to post in a little bit newer threads. this one is over 2 years old.

This option is not offered by rct 2 scenario editor. To make a scenario with rides, you need to make the landscape, save it as a scenario then go into that scenario, build the rides you want, save your game, and then go to that toolbox thing where you select "scenario editor" and select "convert saved game into scenario" and select your saved game.
