what im trying to do seems simple. I made an animation path and i link the camera to it. (basically a roller coaster) as u know the path is flat like a tape worm and curves and such. Is it possible to get the camera to turn and look up and down as it travels the path (without having to do it manually) basically act as a train on a railroad. or (roller coaster) thanks for any info

You can place an invisible object somewhere out there and have the camera track that object using Point At. You'll need a path for the object to follow of course as well.

Switch to a view so you can see the camera you're animating. Open the Attributes dialog. Pull up the Animation tab. Choose "Align". Easily done. 8o)

The only problem will probably be with banking. You may have to animate that by hand. You'll find out easily enough.
