What's with this F@#*&n' ride? Ok. No biggie. I build my first one and I put too sharp of a turn in after a small drop and it flies off the track and crashes on the test run. I fix that. Then it starts crashing somewhere else on the course. I fix that. Then it does it somewhere else!! Now I'm getting mad. I finally get it going on the test run and open the ride up. Then it starts crashing because the weight of the people make it go faster. So, I fix the problem areas. Again, and again, and again.... It's still crashing!!

Ghost trains are not ment to go down hills/up hill by Alan Jacysyzn at 11/10/99 9:34:35 PM

IF you do make it go down a hill, only do one tiny hump at a time. THe cars are self propelled, the ghost train is not a coaster..its like many of the rides at disney.

Chris Sawyer bases his rides on real life examples and his ghost train is based on Blackpool's, which has several level chances and a little coaster-style drop half-way through. You can build drops but if you place a turn afterwards you need to stick some brakes in first. I had the same problem with my first ghost train so I fully understand your frustration!
