So, I'm still working on making a drop tower simulation. I want to make the “drop” a bit more realistic by adding a gravity variable in. The issue is that after the drop, the ride hits a series of brakes slowing it down until It reaches the bottom. I can't seem to make this smooth. For an example of my project you can go here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/16094265

This version doesn't have any sort of variables in it, as I'm working on that version right now. But that will give you the idea how it will play. Let me know if need to clarify any of this as it isn't the easiest to explain.
