YeS! I wrote something like this in the last thread:Looks to me that SH "heights" is four tiles higher than SF. You can see that clearly if you look at the beach on each side of the mountain. That twist in the tunnels shifts the road and track four tires too. So for me it's pretty clear that it's an attempt to make it look like there's an incline. It's too bad the characters walking through it don't do so diagonally!I haven't seen the monorail go through it yet but I imagine it will swerve like on a couple of S ?

I wonder what happens when you "ride" the monorail through the tunnel. Does it all go dark? :shock:

Yeah, it's to denote that Springfield Heights is higher up then Springfield.

Yes it twists. It doesn't go dark, but if you close your eyes you can fake it. I had to move my entire rail system one square over to make it align with the tunnel. I have a temporary shunt set up to test the run.

I get what EA is trying to do. But (imo) theyre just doing it badly. This tunnel looks even odder than the original one.

Woah woah woah woah WOAH. wait a minute...

The tunnel is restricted to where you can place it? Like the roads and rivers??

I'm not about to shuffle my entire monorail to make it link up. It was hard enough trying to get the ends to link and complete the circuit, with every single support column out of the streets!!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DOUBLE CONFIRM we can place it to match our existing rail? Or no?

Now I'm really concerned...hmmm...

P.s. @donald thanks for posting the pic!

I had both my Monorails SH and SF configured to link up from a long time ago. There was still a little adjusting to do (because of the twist) but nothing major. But yes, you are restricted to where you can put it (seven available spots on the mountain I think) so you might have to move roads or buildings if they obstruct the path of the monorail tunnel.

Whether it matches your existing Monorail track completely depends on where and how you placed the original.

Should I actually use this tunnel I’ll be in the group of folks who will have to modify my existing SF monorail tracks in order to match up with the linking track in the new tunnel.

I have a massive amount of track in my town. To connect to the tunnel, I need to move everything 1/4 track. I've already done this once to get a completed loop. :cry: :cry: :cry:
