Rocking on the Magnum

Has anyone else noticed how much rocking happens in the station when people load, and unload in and out of the cars?
That's understandable considering that the back axle of each car is mounted on a roll pivot specifically to allow it to rock back and forth so that the car can navigate banked track. Have a look at http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/bobsled.html to see the patent on which the Magnum cars are based.
