Improve Minecarts

Minecarts used to be a fun utility, but after the addition of elytras, they became remotely useless. We can improve them by making them faster, or adding new types of rails that make it go faster. They can also be improved by adding curvature for activator/powered/detector rails, or making it so that rails can curve WHILE going upwards. They could be in mineshafts, with built-in roller coasters that make mineshafts more fun.

    I believe mine carts should be faster than elytras. Because when a player builds a railroad, he loads chunks, and on elytras, the player is able to travel to previously unloaded lands. It's quite balanced.

    This is something I would love to see be worked on, I would love to see Minecraft work towards their own Industrial Revolution.

    Wheel-locking rails which would be placeable on the sides and bottoms of blocks allowing mine carts to wall ride and flip upside-down are something that I would love to have. I've always wanted to be able to wall ride in a fast minecart. 

    I would be so down for a Rails update. I'm ready for a fresh new look at it and maybe even finding Ancient technology that leads us towards Steam or some kind of arcane energy

    And a second comment because this is a completely separate idea.

    Glass domed mine carts now that talks can be water logged for underwater adventures. They could also keep the player safe from mobs until the mine cart pops from damage.
