In there you'll be able to alter the rate of deceleration and the target speed, I'd suggest making the target speed between 15 and 20 mph, and then slightly sloping the out-n'-back section of track downwards (something like a 3-5 degree decline should keep the cars moving at that speed the whole time they're in that track section). The same method can be repeated for the other similar sections of track.

If that doesn't properly slow them enough you can always mess with the rate of deceleration, unfortunately I'm not really sure what the target figure should be for that value.

I think I'm going to have to rework this coaster design a little bit. And that's okay. I've been looking at videos on YouTube. I want to make this one a little more compact like they are in real life. ChrisMDB if you know of a good Wild Mouse Coaster video I should look at please send me the link. Thanks in advance. I'm still keeping the coaster station the way it is.

I decided to make the coaster more compact. I looked at some real life wild mouse coasters to get more ideas. I didn't want to re-create the one I saw on YouTube that was at an amusement park. However, I needed to change the height on the original one since most Wild Mouse Coasters are 40-50 feet or around 15 meters High. I am very happy with the way this turned out. I left the spin out because the Wild Mouse Coasters I saw didn't have the spin on them. Here is the link to the video if you want to watch it. Please note: It's not finished yet the decorating, etc.

I've done a little more editing after I put the video up here is a screenshot.

I wanted a sign by the entrance so I changed things around a little bit. I am not using any blueprints from the Planet Coaster Workshop now. Everything you see I made.
