I have a problem.. I am working on a wild mouse called the Dark Riders after the Nazgul, LOTR theme running at night, 9 cars per the nine riders operating and they all pass the e-stop and make it back to the station..

Here's the crunch (no, I have'nt been living in a cave all my life) but I have never seen a real wild mouse, only pics.. I have read on this site and others that wild mice have no banking etc. etc. mine has.. so I am making it as a fantasy mouse. Should I remove the banking and adjust the track or as a fantasy ride, would it be ok to keep the banking regarding the ratings. Last, but not least, I decided to use single 3 bench PTC cars as they lent well to the night atmosphere with all the dark wood and the sound of them on the tracks. To sum up, am I wasting my time with this, would you guys dismiss it as a mouse?

A wild mouse ride can have banking, just most wild mouse rides are so small they don't need banking at all.
I think it would be cool for you to build a new type of wild mouse with features that arn't seen too much in this particle design of a coaster.

it's like The Vild Svinet and Typhoon Euro Fighter coasters. I consider them to be mouse coasters, and they even have inversions and more-than-vertical drops.

There's a mad mouse like 45 minutes from my house. It has no banking on the hairpins, but there are a couple turns with 20 or 25 degree bank. I can email you a recreation, it's not good enough to put on the net.

It's at Little-a-merrick-a in Marshall, wisconsin. One of the only theme parks in wisconsin (although it's tiny, with only two kiddie coasters.) Apparently the Lincoln Park Comet is being re-located there. (But thats off-topic) Here's the RCDB pic: Dead link.
I think you should make it in 2-tube steel looping style, but what the heck.
