Hey everyone! I began constructing my winter coaster, Frost Giant. I am thinking that it will have a 180* degree drop. Please note that the pre-drop
is NOT the final result. I will finish this coaster, mostly because Christmas is coming around soon. I will have much better theming than Toxic, and a much longer layout. This coaster is over twice as big as Toxic. So, enjoy my thread, and here are a few pictures of Frost Giant!

Looks pretty sweet! I don't know how you will do the 180 degree drop though and have it look good. Surprise me though!

Automation is my specialty
 

If only I had more space/pieces/time.

Thanks! I am about a quarter done with my drop!

We'll see... and I'm not doing a 180 degree drop anymore, I am doing a Medusa/Bizzaro drop.
The pullout was a little too sharp... and i am working on the valley of Frost Giant, and it will most likely be on the database tommorrow.

You can see it has a bit of a hump in the last picture. Other than that it's fantastic! It's actually kinda cute :)

Thank you!

Thanks!

Well, I would like to build a dive loop towards the lift hill. I think it will flow great.

Thank you for the complements...

Looking promising so far, banking down the drop, starting half way through to 2/3's looks a bit weird but it may just be the angle of the shot.

Yes.. that problem has been fixed. I also have an improved lift. And the dive loop
is going well

looks good. nice supports. good work so far


My supports weren't the greatest, but they are more solid and strong now.


This roller coaster is not canceled, next update will be very big though.
And in the next update.. you just might get a sneak peek of something special...

Ohh... pretty...

I love the way the coaster looks so far. The tubes look so professional, and for a moment, I thought that you were someone else!

This coaster really packs a punch for it's size, so props to you on that. I love the theming idea a lot as well! It looks really nice on the coaster.

Looks sweet! One thing I must say though, the pullout looks really sharp, but I cant tell very well with the scenery.

He is Eggo's broher.

Again, it's perfect. Everything looks awesome and is staring to look like something like maarten12 would make! The theming is spoton! Words can not fully describe it's awesomeness!

Yes, and if you look, rollerkid500 answered your question.

I like my theming too. I have plans for automation as well.

I don't know, i just think it was the angle of the camera.

Thank you.

I hope i can theme this like Ice Age, complements to Helmut for his theming.
Christmas break, for me, has come to an end. This is my last day before going back to school. I will make an update maybe in 2-3 days....

And from now on, pictures will be never shot at the ugly night time, and will be shot in the afternoon.
