Yes, I guess you are motivated for this build and work on it the entire day! :D

Looks really good. Try to use as many base-to-track connections as possible.

I-i-i-it's beautiful. Maybe add a bit more banking, and keep going.

I bet you update in the next 10 minutes.

^Good guess my friend!


One other thing is that this airhill looks very small compared to the other elements. I know it is that small in real life, but wouldn't it be better to make it taller speed-wise?

As last, you build FAST :)

I did consider this, and I think I will do this if the train doesn't happen to make the hill since it will help out with speed. I do kind of want to build a replica of this hill but with a height of 3 granites, and then swap out the parts to see which one gives the train more speed. This is all dependent weather it makes the hill though, so when I do the full setup we will see.

And thank you, I know I do. :D

wow u build fast.

This is looking awesome so far.

Thanks!

Sweet! I've been trying to use as many connections as possible on all of the elements to eliminate as much speed loss as possible, and that is something that comes in handy while building this coaster.

I know this is totally off- topic, but how do you post a thread?

Even though this comment is so miss-placed in the forums, I want to keep it here. You literally made me laugh out loud for a good minute or so.

If you complete this, Diamondback will finnaly have a enemy at the same eminence. All i can wish, is a very good luck with this project :D

My thoughts exactly. :)

After adding the additional banking to the hill/curve, I moved onto the massive camelback. As you can see with the speed between the updates, I took my time with this element.

The weather forecasts that it will rain sometime this evening, so that will delay the full setup date and next update. In the main time, I am going to start on the second overbank so I don't waste any time with this build.
Until next update, Jumpge signing out.

That looks strong as hell!
It also has perfect shaping because of the stress

This hill just looks beautiful! Same with the supports. They actually look realistic! You're working on my favorite coaster. I think laterals might help on the hill though.

Holy freaking crap! This is awesome. I have never ridden Leviathan but it looks awesome! I hope that someday I will get on that ride, in the meantime I can watch you're awesome building and look forward to what I hope to experience.

Wow, great job on the camelback it looks perfect! I was wondering why it wasn't fully set up so far. Should you be working on the weird hammerhead next too? Also, how many cars is on the train?

For some reason the camelback looks mishapen. I don't know why, and when I look a it, it just looks weird. I also see it's mirrored. That may be why

That track design it too cool. I think it will look just like B&M if you don't even put the middle rail on.

It doesn't look parabolic enough.

I agree with ASC, it looks more like an Intamin camelback. Please try to make it more parabolic :)

I looked at a video of Leviathan, and I don't get how people say it's a giga coaster. The track clearly states it's a hyper coaster. I don't get it, can someone explain please?

Your coaster: Everything is perfection so far, how do you know it will make it through?

I'm not done building yet.
