Lift Section Settings

Lift Section Settings

Lift sections are the traditional method for increasing potential energy of a coaster. Lift sections are blocks in most cases.

The Extra Block Length box allows you to push the block border further out from its default position at the end of the sections.

The Name box sets the name of the section.

Under Mode you can configure the section with a few special options.

Has Anti-Rollback Device - enables the anti-rollback teeth and related sound effects.
Shuttle Mode Gentle 2nd Pass Release - is used for special shuttle coaster configurations where the train is transported along the section and then released at the end.
Dive Coaster Drop Release Mode - advances the coaster near the end of the section, pauses momentarily, then releases the train.
Silent - When activated, the drive device will not make any sound. Usefull when you want to use your own sounds with scripting.
No Block - When activated, the section will not be a block. It will behave similar to a transport section then.

Setup

The Speed setting controls how fast the train moves while under power of the lift section. Acceleration and Deceleration settings control how much force is applied to speed up or slow down the train while on the Lift section.

Drive Device

Sets the style of the lift section. Choose between Chain and Friction Wheels and None. Note that certain coaster styles will use LIM/LSMs instead of friction wheels. The None option is usefull for creating sections that have only Anti-Rollbacks.

Motor Location configures where the motor sound effect comes from, either the beginning of the section or the end.
