Damn another spectacular coaster from you, you make building with tubes so easy dude, I'm loving this coaster badly! I definelty wish BGT could of built this, instead of chettah hunt now ugh, I cant wait from the final video from you too, and timbuktu is a name of a land at BGT too, so that's what the rides name reminds me of for now!

Nicely done, Helmer. Can't wait to see the final video! :D


Thanks! Here is is... ;)

No, dis' is unexceptable! It need to be longer - longer I tell you! [/strict Russian]

In all seriousity, this ride is absolutely breathtaking. Something I've always wanted to see built, and here it is - a reality. He only Intamin element that I think this is missing is an over banked turn near the station, like Millennium Force.


Спасибо! К сожалению, я не смог включить каждый отдельный элемент Intamin, но я думаю, что я уже использовал кучу.

I love that station roof! It's one of the most creative I've seen. The second half of the layout finishes up the ride very nicely, I love how it wraps around the rest of the layout. Can't criticize anything here, awesome job.


Thank you! The station roof is inspired by the one on Top Thrill Dragster

The station's roof looks awesome, as do the brakes and the pre-lift turn that I am in love with.
The straight away between the brake run and the station isn't as bad as I thought you were making it out to be, so that's good.
We will all be waiting for this final video (no pressure or anything)!


Thanks!

Helmer you are on fire right now. This ride looks brilliant from any angle, as does that station. All your builds are awesome right now and I don't see that stopping any time soon. Great work.


Thank you! I hope you will like my next coaster as well.

Thanks! I think Cheetah Hunt is a sick ride too. Timbuktu is the name of a city in Africa (Mali), but I didn't know it was a section in BGT. :)

I uploaded a couple of pictures in the database: Timbuktu - SSCoasters Rides Database

Final video!

The second launch accelerates the train in a very lovely fashion. Very realistic, but noisy as heck ;)

I wish I could shrink myself and ride it. This is by far my favourite coaster and it will definitely be remembered as a brilliant coaster! Well done!

This has easily become one of my favourite coasters ever built! THe attention to detail is amazing. I especially love the flow of the second half of the ride. Awesome work.

I was blown away when I first opened the thread and saw the first element. And it only got better from there! It's very creative and very realistic at the same time, two hard things to pull off at once. The tire launch is awesome, I've always wanted to try that. At first when I saw it I didn't think it could actually work that well, but it gives a very realistic slow acceleration like Maxlaam said. Love it! A hearty congratulations to the builder of this awesome model.
