I'm still looking around for a screenshot of a crazy-ass vertical coaster I made ages ago in Emerald Gardens Mel's World after I beat the scenario, and had tons of spare funds. I wish I had the save, but the screenshot would do just as fine I guess. Just wish I found either of them to showcase that monster.

EDIT:
HOLY HELL, YES!!!

I not only found the old screenshots, but I actually found the old saves for it as well. Uploading a screenshot of it right now. Turns out I made this sucker 12 years ago.


Basically, this Vertical Coaster was an experiment I wanted to try out seeing if I can build a vertical coaster that can span from the ceiling of the game to the bottom-most point in a single go straight down (waiting a second before the actual drop to give riders a chance to pray before descent). Unfortunately, I had to put in a breakpoint halfway down, twisting the riders on the way down, and then it transitions into a 90-degree banking back to flatness for a short distance, and then straight up again sharply as well, curling a short distance and then dropping again, repeat again and then going up a helix spiral until it slows to a safe speed, and then a short descent into the station.

According to the game, it goes from height of 61 (absolute highest I can get it) straight to 1 (lowest point in-game).

In short:
Any, and all, attendants acquainted, are all awkwardly assembled afterwards. "AAAAUG---!!!!!" --Anonymous

I'll upload a save later.

EDIT EDIT:
Hah, the riders fall the height of nearly the length of a football field before they transition by 90-degrees.

Can you at least describe it?  Bonus points for using alliteration.
