It is going to be a small roller coaster type thing. It will carry two "cars" each only 40 lbs max. The "cars" will need to be able to roll without a problem (I've already devised a way to get them around the tight radius) but no actual people will be riding on it.

Here's the idea:

Track: http://team696.org/images/track_shape.JPG (nothing too fancy)
Interestingly, the roller coaster pictured -- Lethal Weapon Pursuit at Warner Bros. Movie World -- was disassembled. It was a piece of crap.
