Select the exit path.

The path out of a hill or loop needs to be designed so that the coaster maintains the thrill of the ride and yet provides a safe transition to the next stage of the ride.

Choose one of the selections on the left and then click on the button below.

Hint: The speed you are traveling determines the path you need to take to safely travel on the track. Your speed is directly related to the height of the hill or loop you are coming from.
