Just a brief update on my computer models of the cantilevered roller coaster system. I have recently constructed a longer track in order to showcase some of the head and side knocker effects the coaster would utilize. The track isn’t finished yet, but when completed it will look like a real roller coaster complete with cross-ties, supports, and footers. Embedded below is a very low-res video of my track. Stay tuned for more!

Incredible work. This looks outstanding.
This is a very interesting concept, but this just seems a little too farfetched to be a full-fledged coaster as you appear to want it to be. This looks more like an idea that would be perfect for a family powered-rail for interactive shooter rides.
