==Antares==

Both Antares and Antares Racer have enough room and vertical clearance at each end for tower rides, and can be lifted vertically to accommodate all sorts of rides under the entire footprint by lifting a block of land opposite the station by two or three when placing Antares for construction. Alternatively, it can be lowered two clicks by preparing the land with a 1x6 trench. You will know you have slotted the trench correctly when the price to build drops suddenly.

My favorite build of all time: Antares, a looping wooden roller coaster.<br />

Tiny footprint, high excitement, low cost, and crash-proof.<br />

Originally built around the underground entrance in the sloping side of [[Crater Lake]] (although I'm not the first to do that), it features a walkway through the center of the coaster and through the loop which is useful to access the top-level station and room on the path for a food shop or restroom inside the coaster (halfway up, through the bottom of the loop). When a main path is routed this way it increases interest to ride and pumps the coaster excitement score. It's crash proof because it rolls out of the high station into the loop, features a chain at the top of each hump so it will never roll back and it can't fail the station brakes because the lift hill is the approach to the station, it just climbs the lift at the end until it has run out of speed and continues into the station at 5mph. If this were built in real life it would be very efficient to operate. The access path can climb entirely within to the queue and station which can be folded over the top - containing the entire attraction and services within the rectangular footprint. [To build at [[Crater Lake]] either study the design and excavate as you build or kill the entrance path momentarily and excavate the footprint, build from the saved file, then reconstruct the path. The former is worth more excitement than the latter because of it's subterranean tunnels.] When built on flat land, each end has open space to put a tower attraction up and out the top. See pictures for path opportunity details and tower placement.

==Antares Racer==

Both Antares and Antares Racer have enough room and vertical clearance at each end for tower rides, and can be lifted vertically to accommodate all sorts of rides under the entire footprint by lifting a block of land opposite the station by two or three when placing Antares for construction. Alternatively, it can be lowered two clicks by preparing the land with a 1x6 trench. You will know you have slotted the trench correctly when the price to build drops suddenly.

The same design as Antares, built as one coaster in twin reflection with twin adjacent stations for dual launch. Although now limited to four trains, that also lends to safety as each track side has only one train at a time traveling while the other is in station. To facilitate construction as one build, the track is now a Möbius loop, making it very easy to give departing guests the immediate opportunity to try the other side (which they frequently decide to do) by placing the entrance path marquee directly across from the exit. Study the [http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140420121727/rct/images/f/fc/Antares.jpg Antares image],[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140420113559/rct/images/9/94/Antares_Racer.jpg Antares Racer image] and [http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140422071823/rct/images/9/9d/Antares_cleanup%40Crater_Lake.png Antares (optimized)@Crater Lake] for suggested access paths, station & queue configuration as well as incorporating tower attractions.

}}This woody features a photo-op, a water splash and two consecutive vertical loops, each threaded four times with its own track before returning to the station. Originally built with trenches from dispatch out to the lift chain and under the water brake, it has plenty of room under the bulk for other attractions, including 4 towers. The station shown is a poorly simple example of configuration among many possibilities with left, center or right elevated stations including folded over the top. This simplified example is shown for an uncluttered view of the key elements.

==Woodchip Woodchip==

This large twin-racer wood coaster can be less expensive than $25,701 to build if three shallow trenches are prepared, lowering the build cost to 21,593. Study the [http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140425004155/rct/images/c/ca/Woodchip_Woodchip_underground_prep.png Woodchip_Woodchip_underground_preparation map] image for position and dimensions, entry to station 2x5x-1, speed matching dip 1x4x-1, deep dip 2x6x-4. Alternatively the easier to build but more expensive above ground build leaves room for paths, flat rides and shops.
