They have them, i forget where they have it, but there is an add in the new Freeze with one. S-rails are more difficult i think so if your going for that then i would say s.

like they said, S rails are at a lot of resorts, but very few have roller coasters, so i would say go with that

yeah bear's up the street and they gotta s rail, so ill just go with the roller coaster, 35' is like $500. So you guys say they have rollercoaster/srails? how would you lean into the curves when the rails going up and down?

Okemos Srails and rollercoaster are kinda weak. They arent very long and not so fun to ride.

make it down sloping whatever you do so you can do it off your roof. im thinking s rail off the roof would look better. and look in the new freeskier, theres a roller coaster s rail in it... somewhere in colorado.
