Git Gud 043 - Making a Schwarzkopf Katapult Coaster! (advanced tutorial)

Hey everyone!

Here's one of my more advances tutorials! Someone asked me to build a Schwarzkopf Katapult in his park, which is a short circular ride with a loop in it. It actually required some shoestringing and some vehicle hacking! Nowadays, both of these things would be much easier if you use the ride vehicle editor plugin, but that didn't exist yet at the time. For the shoestringing, I built a secondary track with banking and a station, which was exactly the same length at the track which is visible above ground. The secondary track has a station and boosters. I made a third track to connect the two track, and I made it so that it would split the train and then time it so that both trains would be synchronized throughout the track. If this explanation was a bit lacking, I recommend you to just watch the video!

I actually redid the layout of the ride after making this tutorial, to make it a bit more compact!
