Switching points for roller-coasters?

I think this game should be able to support switching points on the rollercoasters (and other rail rides, such as trains, if they come).

This would allow for multi-station rides, so for example, a 2 platform rollercoaster could support 3 trains, one moving around the track, one loading passengers, and one unloading passengers.

If (or when) maintenance is added to the game, points could be utilized, for example, if the issue is with a train, the player could be able to send it to a repair shed, much like what happens in real life. Operation wouldn't have to be ceased for long on a multi-train ride, and a spare train could be brought out should the player buy one. So, by not ceasing operations, players can run a reduced-service that will earn them some money (when money becomes a thing to worry about in PC), or players can buy a spare train, so that if one breaks, a spare is ready.

And, of course, this would benefit coaster creators, and re-creators. For example, points would allow for Expedition Everest from Disney's Animal Kingdom Florida to be re-created more accurately: [video=youtube;bhPTWZ3pJ5c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhPTWZ3pJ5c[/video]
 
That feature will probably be in game,because i'm sure it's already demanded by a lot of members of the community(including me).+1 for this feature[big grin]
 
I remember that people messed with the RCT3 files to get this (well, multi stations and un-useable sheds) as a feature in that game, and it was great, official support, especially to the extent that i'm asking for, would be awesome.
