Coaster without a circuit?

[Captain Flappy]

I want to build something like the old Iron Bru ride

http://www.joyrides.com/bpb/revolution2.htm

It weasn't a circuit but that doesn't seem possible in this game, all the rollercoaster tycoon games allowed this on certain coasters.

Is this not in the game?

It is possible however I haven't tried building one

I wonder if he just used the test function though? as that allows you to do it without a circuit, just can't let people on.

Wonder what coaster that is, he doesn't say in the description.

When you say CIrcuit, do you mean allow the train to go around a second time without stopping in the station?

I been trying to build a launch coaster that goes forward out fo the station, back in reverse, then forward again. Basically like Superman Ultimate Flight, but i am unable to find any settings for that and that kinda bums me out.

No, by circuit I mean having to have the coaster loop round and attach back to the station.

I want a coaster that can launch fromt he station, loop then go backwards and go back into the station from where it started, all the RCT games could do this.

There's been quite a bit of push for this, and yet no response from the developers at all. I'm thinking that they either don't want to associate anything with the RCT franchise due to RCT4 and RCTW, don't want to associate anything with Vekoma, or just don't know or believe that these rides even exist.

I may be wrong... but I would have thought it would be very easy to implement.

Eh, somewhat. There would be some under-the-hood stuff that would have to be done to get these things to work, but they could easily use existing resources.

Obviously when i say easy I don't mean flicking a switch, but compared to programming a new ride or coaster etc it woulkd be fairly easy.
Obv they had a few coasters in RCT3 that could do it.

Would love to see this, the "sync with neighbor station" function as well.

that would be kind of stupid I mean for them of course because either way real life roller coasters do that so it doesn't make sense for them not to like either way they can't sue for a real life creation right??

It's more the fact that the Vekoma Boomerang has a bad reputation for being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cloned ride (though there are a few good ones out there), combined with the fact that a very large percentage of shuttle coasters are Boomerangs.
