I have no particular experience with hairpin coasters, but for some rides you either need a station that is long enough to house more trains, or you should make use of block brakes (having 3 blockbrakes allows for 2 trains, having 4 block brakes allows for 3 trains, etc.; the station itself aslo functions as a block brake)

The station already was 5 blocks, so I left it that way, but I added 2x Block Brakes, now I got 3 trains.. which should be enough. . Thank you for the help

I usually throw a few block brakes, alternating with regular track, between an unloading station, and the loading station. Then, (depending how many trains/cars are out on the track at any given moment,) I usually provide enough block brakes before the unloading station. This is so that all the trains/cars that are out on the circuit, can run the full circuit, and end up ready to enter the unloading station, after being slowed by the brake run. The brake run ends with a block brake, so a train could end up in the final postion, sitting on the brake run.

yes wolfman has the gist of it. Make 2 station platforms, and in between them where no peeps ride, add as many block brakes as you want. There, now you have as many trains as you need.

By the way, that picture you see there

Welp!
My park is done. "Little Egypt" is zipped and ready for delivery.
Please notify me if there is any problem concerning the park.

EDIT:
I discovered that I had inadvertantly deleted a bit of underground footpath.
I have replaced the footpath and sent a replacement park file.

I definitely WANT to enter into this contest. I just finished a basic landscape yesterday, but with time already halfway through and my brother nearly always on the computer, I may have a hard time finishing.

BTW Becky, the bench is Great!

Thanks!

I know I have a lot of dup objects in there...my main objective anymore in getting these different country maps ready is to have the right 'kind' of objects for that country...

Quite frankly, I don't have time to build a methodical (let's make sure I haven't duplicated any objects and have used all the object slots) type of bench.

I look it over and if I could build with whats there...I hope and pray you all can....but I was pretty pleased with this egypt one.

My other worry was that I had recently cleaned out my objects and I have about 1000 less now than I had before and I'm never sure if I don't have some "must have" object that everyone seems to need

Sorry for delay, but i can't do it. I want to do the next one.

DL'ing the bench now... there is a good chance I will enter as I would love to expand on the "Valley of Sand" theme in my solo and actually built a fully themed Inverted Hairpin coaster in it that was one of a few things I removed from the park, So I guess I'll try to re-build that
