A friends roller coaster piece! How awesome
Now there’s two of them?! This is off the rails crazy!
I want to go on something more thrilling than Rail Fall No.2.
Thought at first it was rail fail no. 2. That would have been something.
Oh no! Rail fell down! Help them up!
I've used it's dark bluish gray cousin for bridge arches. Specifically the three-span steel arches of the Eads Bridge in St Louis, MO. (real bridge completed 1874 and still in use today!)
I thought it said, "rail fail", and I thought, ooh, harsh.
@MeisterDad:
@Zordboy:
So you both had an actual rail fail?
The fall of the rails 2. Of course started by humans bringing predators with them to the rails habitats. Just like the first time. History repeats itself. Sad birds.
Oh, to truly go off the Fall No. 2 Rails on a crazy train.
Way worse than rainfall. Imagine the headaches
And when the rail begins to fall
I'll be the sunshine in your life
For those of a more optimistic nature it is, of course, a Rail Rise!
Rail Autumn No.2?
Yep, Heartlake had rollercoasters first.

@watcher21:
This version has a shallower grade, being three bricks tall, where the version you linked to is five bricks tall. The tall version was introduced with the narrow-gauge track system in 7199, and 6857 was the only other appearance. Four years later, this version came in 41130. Did the steeper grade cause problems for minidolls whose only attachment is ankles pinching a vertical wall? Did it make the ride go so fast it would derail? Did it make the ride just too boring (compared to the double-drop in the Friends coaster) or fast to make an interesting play experience? Do both molds still exist, leaving open a possibility of seeing them used in the same set? Is narrow-gauge track dead now that they’re building up a proper coaster track system?
