Some People may be thinking, "Why does he even have a cable lift tutorial, it is so easy to use cable lifts?"  Well, if you have figured out how it works, then it is quite simple, but some people just do not know how the cable lift works and it will take a tutorial like this one to teach them the basics of the cable lift.

Why Use Cable Lifts?

Cable Lifts are a useful tool that only the Giga Coaster can provide.  Instead of using a regular lift hill that only pull the train at a few mph, you can use a cable lift hill that will pull that train up at 15mph!  This is especially great for Giga Coasters because they are meant to be larger and taller and this will help speed that extremely long ride up.  The cable lifts also allow you to go higher faster because you can use a steeper incline for the lift hill.

First of all just build a station like usual.  Now start making a slope but do not use the lift chain.  You can use either slope steepness.

Now build the sloping track as high as you want.  When you get to the top of the hill click on the special track piece button and select "Cable lift hill."

Now all you need to do is build the rest of the track.  When you test or open the ride the cable lift will show its true face.  What happens is the top cable lift hill piece will lower the cable down to the station and pick up the train and pull it to the top of the hill.  Simple and effective.  The following picture shows the cable on its way down to the station.
