Skill will still be involved in making great coasters because most people will only be able to make fundamental elements such as loops, helixes, etc. w/ elememtary, and almost noone wiil be able to make elements like buster or gouldy still.
Actually, I saw this screenshot of it. Someone was making some straight track that leads into an upcurve. I think that learnig how to use elementry will make a huge difference in my tracks, especially since I suck at smoothing.
