Reverse Trains in RCT2?

[vedved82491]

Is there any way to turn a train around on a coaster using 8Cars? I'm pretty sure I've seen it done before, and I kind of wanted to try it. Just wondering if anybody knows or knows of somebody who knows a way :)

8cars doesn't have anything like that, I think.

You mean to send a train backwards on a track circuit?

Ask geewhzz about this. He probably knows how, if at all. ;)

I know how to do this hack but because I'm busy I'll make up a tutorial later this weekend (hopefully) when I have some free time.

Yeah, sending a train out in reverse. A tutorial would be awesome.

Guys, I just talked to geewhzz on AIM about this hack and here's what he told me.


i think what you'd have to do is build the circuit then build a station below some part of the circuit and merge track on, then test run the train and it will merge onto the complete circuit and run in reverse. it's a pain in the neck but i think it would work.

There is already a train for 6 seater wooden coaster in reverse. What kind of train do you want to run in reverse?

You could use that one Wingrider method, the one where it launches back and up 200 ft, then comes back down, through the station, and onto the course.

You can always reverse rebuild the track. But that's also a pain.

I know about the woodie, but I was thinking about any train specifically. I was kind of thinking of putting a reverse corkscrew train much like Joker's Revenge/Jester

I have a tutorial ready I'll be posting hopefully tomorrow or by Friday at the latest. Sorry I didn't get up but I had some tests to study for and wasn't able to be on long enough to finish it.
