Make a linear curve with same number of line segments as number of rollercoaster cars - create Chain from Curve and tick constrain which constrains the bones to the curve - constrain yor cars to each bone, draw your rollercoaster curvepath, deform your linear curve to the rollercoaster path curve and set up an upvector constraint for the Chain, animate the translation along curve, and you are pretty close.

Hi list
I trying to deform a skeletal chain to a curve much like the roller coaster tutorial but can't seem to find the tutorial anywhere.
Anyone have any ideas on doing this. I know it use to be on Softimage website but now it says that the page can't be found.
 
Thanks
