Greetings, my name is Jordan. I have recently been awarded a patent on a new type of roller coaster that I have invented. I need to prepare a clean, physically accurate animation showcasing the roller coaster (which has a mechanical linkage with a special 3rd rail on the track) in operation.

A friend of mine believes that the job can be done in sketchup, but after viewing other's work, I believe there are too many limitations.

My hope is that some more experienced members of this community can give me their opinions on the matter. Thank you.
