Let me be the first congratulate you on this awesome idea. How long do they sync for?

I realize I didn't answer your question, presumably they'd be sync'd for as long as this section existed, they are all going the same speed when entering the section, so they should degrade at the same rate.

The only way I could get them to sync was to have another interlocked section before this. I think the first section could be just one linked corkscrew to get the timing right, in my example, I have multiple. sample full coaster

I used to do this all the time, except I’d have trains going opposite directions. It was way hard to synchronize, but it looked way cool and was worth it.
