I'm assuming you're making a spiral lift because of the gear in the middle of the base. I'm very excited for this new coaster Maarten! :)

I'm pretty sure they are from The Edge, because they are way to big for the cube ;)
Looks already cool Maarten! Can't wait for the next update :)

Very interesting building the spiral lift in the center of the plot. Should make for a very cool layout.

Interesting location in respect to the base for the tower, it seems like it may hinder your layout possibilities. But if you have a layout in mind, then I won't complain.

I haven't even thought of that, but that's a good point. Do you already have a lay-out in mind Maarten? A spiral lift in the corner of the base would make you have more lay-out possibilities than in the centre. I like concept of this coaster a lot, since I haven't seen a spiral lift on SSC lately. (rode them enough though... ;))

Yes, there will be a spiral lift :).

I hope the layout I have in mind, or at least the element I have in mind, will make up something cool!

Haha, not not really ;).

It does indeed hinder layout possibilities, but I have some nice things in mind :).

Yes, I do have some layout and element ideas.


UPDATE!

I have got most of the spiral lift done, except for adding some flex rods and adding the motors at the bottom.

I chose to make that rod on the car symmetrical, I think it looks better than just sticking out on one of the sides.

Looking really nice. Making it symmetrical would probably help the balance of the car as well. Interested to see where this goes.

I like how you made the rod symmetrical because you're right, it does look a lot better. I am just curious to see what kind of layout you do.

Also, I hope the lift moves really smooth and isn't all jerky.

Very nice, it looks really clean. I also like that you have the trains entering and exiting the lift diagonally to the sides of the box. I'm interested to see what layout you have in store!

I will release the first part of what I had in mind right now.

You might want to try to make the transition from the track coming out of the lift to the twist a bit smoother if that's possible, since I spotted a sharp spot ;)
Great job for the rest, I really like it!

Like TK said, there's a sharp spot at the beginning of the dive loop. Other than that, it looks amazing!
