Roller coasters have been a part of Minecraft for a long time. With the addition of numerous features, they have evolved quite a bit. TheGameKid shows us one such creation, a winding, meticulous creation of pistons, powered tracks and more. Definitely worth watching to the end - enjoy!

Back in my day, a minecart roller coaster was a wooden hill with tracks on it! We also had to ride a pig to the mines and back, uphill both ways, without any weather effects.

This is inspiring... in fact it's making me think of an idea of a piston coaster like this:

T=Piston extension
P=Piston
R=Rail
_=Nothing, just for spacing so the diagram will show up correctly

[b]Active/Stage 1[/b]

____R <--Starting point 1
___RT
__RTP
_RTPT
RTPTP
_PTPT
_TPTP
_PTPT
__PTPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
__TPT
__PTP
___PT
___TP
___PT
____P
____T
____P

[b]Inactive/Stage 2[/b]

R <--Starting point 2
_R
_PR
_PPR
__PPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR <- Ending point
__PPP
__PPP
___PP
___PP
___PP
____P
____P
____P

Hope it shows up correctly. Apologies if it doesn't. Also, I know the diagram may confuse some people. Those people should just deal with it and ask someone who understands it.

Now someone figure out how to make a loop-de-loop and a corkscrew track and we'll be in business
