I worked on some long-requested coaster features this week.
Curves have similar slope options as straight pieces now, meaning curves can transition directly into a slope or to a different slope angle:

This allows building some smooth elements that were not possible before.

And we’re adding LSM launches. This is a magnetic launch system that allows accelerating to high speeds without having to stop the train. It‘s fairly expensive though!
