Brain of Cthulhu
So once I figured out that sloped conveyer belts worked, I got this idea. Now I finally got around to making a working example.
See it in action (large file) (The ride is actually a bit smoother than it looks here.)
This example is optimized for human passengers (pressure plates to start and stop), but it can carry items too. Enemies are unaffected, but NPCs work. As you can see, the whole thing is wired, except the top and bottom. The important thing to remember is that (as with gemspark blocks) a wire can't activate both an actuator and the conveyer belt under it. So the sloped parts at all fixed direction, while the flat landings are reversible.
The whole thing (not counting the walls) is 9 tiles wide, which seems to be just about ideal for a 1-second timer. There's still room for experimentation on this though.
