Ask the Experts / monorail track on a lift hill

  • Mattk48%s's Photo
    I'm making a inverted roller coaster inspired by Thunder hawk at the former Geauga lake theme park. To make the lift hill more realistic, I want to use monorail track above the inverted track. I know you have to build the monorail track going in the opposite direction of the inverted track, and MOM the monorail track +1 to get it to look right. My problem is when i try to lift the monorail track to the top of where the inverted coaster lift hill will be it gives me the message, too high for supports. I tried zeroing clearances and the any height construction option, but the message still pops up. Help would be appreciated

    8Cars has an 'any height construction' feature under 'rides.'

    Could you build it in parts at a lower elevation, and raise those using mom or edit ride stats?

    Or maybe raise the land, build the monorail, lower or raise it a unit with mom, and then lower the land again, manual or with mom?

    Try Any Height Construction with another 8cars version? Otherwise building the monorail lower to the ground and raising it in the ride editing window is the easiest solution.

    My guess is ur using one of the 8cars where "any height construction" doesn't work. Try a different version. I know I have 3.32 and it doesn't work for most ride functions, but 2.32 works fine, just has problems with clearances.

    I assume you're using 1.32, use 1.302.

    I downloaded 1.302 and the any hight construction option worked like a dream, thanks everybody
