What you need:

Any coaster with steep track (e.g. the wooden coaster)
invisible support blocker (Optional but the easiest)

 
First lower the land (height in pic).

Back in RCT2, you MUST see this, otherwise you have the wrong .dll's for 8cars.

Test the Frisbee, and you'll see this:

Then you have to demolish the Dummy Track:

Then you can theme the ride! Just remember that the entries are still physically there, you just can't see them. You have to use Zero Clearance to build on them because of that.

Done

 

Hope you like it and good luck!
If there are any problems with this or questions, just ask

Awesome. I have never done one of these before, I might have to now.

^Glad you liked it. I posted this because it's a helpful thing to have imo.

Good job Mika.

What was the point of this? Invisible entrance huts already has a tutorial for it and I'm sure frisbee rides does as well.

^What was the point in that comment? He's only trying to help people out.


Nice job Mika, clear instructions that would definitely help someone who hasn't done this before.

Actually, that was exactly the point of this
I did this because RCTER2 asked me once in a PM. I made a tutorial, and he thought that it was very easy and helpful. That's why I posted this, and I'm sure that it will help some people.

Really good work Mika! :rihanna:

I sugest first connecthing the path to the entrance and exit. else it could bug a little bit at times.
besides that good job on the tutorial.

^I know, Cena sent me that in a PM. I didn't put that in because I never had that problem. If you use zero clearance to build a path, it will not connect properly with the entries, and you have to build over that path with zero clearance off. Now people know
Thanks!
