Great "Racer" Coaster, where two carts face off against one another (blue/red) from start to finish in what appears to be a race off.
The coasters roll next to one another a majority of the time, taking and losing the lead, going around the first curve and up the first major hill, you can basically reach out and touch the other carts.

You're erasing...
