I'm making this coaster and I will build everything, ok. Now, I was wondering, is there some connecting part or something that the wheel can STICK to the rail? I'm not sure. Help?

You need to build it like a real coaster, with wheels around the track rails.
Hard to explain, but the [-,-] and -- are the wheels and the squares are the anchored rails.
The car is the square box on top. The wheels have to keep the car between and on the rails. I didn't draw the undercarriage or other parts.

Or build it like this, with the tracks as 2, 3 part channels and one wheel part (the O) in each channel. The only problem with this is the cars HAVE to stay upright to ride on the bottom part of the channel with the friction of the sides and top parts set to 0 so there isn't any drag when the wheels rub there.

apparently you can't leave spaces in replies. ' replaces spaces.

-In other words...

Completely lock in the wheels with safety tracks. Still allow the wheels to move, and have their space, but make sure they are covered to the point they will not jump up, or slide left or right.

Make almost like a hook for them.

O]

Imagine the bracket is the outside, you will not be able to see the wheels from the outside, as the safety track (Bracket) is covering it.

If you need help, I will make a model explaining my idea.

Look at pictures of real roller coaster tracks and cars. There has to be something available on the interweb.
