Rollercoaster Projects

2. have an electric cord to bring the rollercoaster up backwards with support blocks behind it, then will drop forward go upwards then back down again, then will go through a loop and up to the last drop, then the electrical cord will stop the ride bring it up to the top of the drop and have the rollercoaster go the opposite direction and back to the start kinda like the bat at wonderland.
