E-Z track does not bend except at the joints. You should be able to get "some" rise at the joints, but they will not be a curved joint, just an angle change. If you do go the E-Z track route, I would think you would be better off using shorter sections of track. That way you could make the transition smoother.

If your parents never had children, chances are you won't either.

Ez track will flex more then enough to transition to a grade but you must fasten it down to a stable surface with nails or screws at the ends and center.

I made a bridge for my kids Thomas set using 2x4's and 1/4 plywood to fasten the track to.

If any one wants pictures to see how I did it I'll take some and post them.
