Git Gud 067 - Making a beyond vertical drop!

Hey everyone!

Quite a few modern coasters, especially Infinity coasters or Eurofighters, come with a beyond vertical drop! A beyond vertical drop is a drop that doesn't go vertically down 90 degrees, but angles back even further! In RCT2 there normally is no way to build an element like this, but with the tricks that OpenRCT2 provides you will be able to make a decent looking one!

For building a beyond vertical drop, you can make use of the fact that two vertical track pieces will merge with each other if they are on the same tile, even if they are rotated 180 degrees with respect to eachother. This way, you can make a vertical drop, rotate the track 180 degrees, build forwards a bit and then go vertically downwards again, and then rotate the track another 180 degrees! For a short time, the train will be on the backside of the rails, but it will usually go fast enough that it isn't very noticeable!
