Roller Coasters Backtrack: A working shuttle coaster

[Sawyer1]

I wanted to see if I could get a shuttle coaster to work on Planet Coaster. After some trial and error, yes you can! It sort of went from there and I created this small footprint coaster!

The trick is to use launch track as brakes during the reverse section. The forward motion works as brakes when the train is going backwards.

That's awesome! Wish it was a little bit longer, but it was a test and it works at least

So wait. As long as the train is moving faster than the force of which the launchers try to stop the car and send it forward again, it works?

Make the train longer then the launch part and add the launch right behind the station your car will be back in the station that way before it relaunches.

Thanks everyone!

The launch track works as a brake when the car travels backwards!

Wow this is awesome! I like how compact this is. The theming is also very well done!
