Unofficial Synopsis[]
Yellow designs and makes a roller coaster for his friends to ride.
Plot[]
Yellow starts the episode by testing a pressure plate with many different items, like redstone lamps, pistons, and trapdoors. As he mines the trapdoor away, he accidentally mines through the taskbar. He then tries to cover it up with black wool, but it obviously stands out, so out of curiosity, he digs down for a while, until he reaches an abandoned mineshaft. This is where he discovers minecarts and rails. He removes the chest in the minecart, and rides it down a stretch of slanting rails and finds it great fun, but not nearly long enough. So he continues to build an incredible roller coaster entirely off-camera.
A while later, The Second Coming is talking to Red, Blue and Green, when they end up at the entrance of Yellow's completed Roller Coaster. The Second Coming takes one look down the long slanting tunnel and tries to leave, but Yellow stops him and forces him into the minecart. Everyone else climbs in as well. Yellow pushes them into the tunnel.
The tunnel goes through a series of ups and downs. The Second Coming and the others were scared at first, but soon enjoyed the ride. They continue to ride and get launched up by redstone-powered slime blocks, and wave at a statue of Yellow waving back at them. As they ride down the tunnel, The Second Coming and the others saw the minecarts riding towards a giant pool of lava. At the last second, pistons underneath them retract and they fall down. Then they ducked into their minecarts as the tunnel gets increasingly small, and then into a gigantic cavern. A bigger, more detailed statue of Yellow holding rails stands in the background. The stick figures ride on more redstone-powered slime blocks that bounce them across, then get separated and crisscrossed each other before riding back together as before. They go through a loop (which is not possible in Minecraft) and reach the end of the course. All of the sticks cheer as the redstone sign reads "THE END".
Except it really isn't over, because the redstone sign goes "...". Everyone stops cheering. And then the redstone sign reads, "JK" (which is Just Kidding). The blocks below the minecarts that the sticks are riding on retract and soon enough the sticks are riding again, this time faster than before, downwards to a ramp, a netherrack pathway leading to the real Yellow, who was waiting for his friends. He sees his friends riding down to the ramp and is excited to see them. But right when the sticks ride off the ramp, instead of flying towards Yellow, they just drop down, ending the episode.

Trivia[]
- The reason the minecarts just drop at the end instead of flying off is because in Minecraft physics, minecarts don't carry momentum the same way they would in real life, they just fall when they reach the end of the rails.
