[quote name='TimmehTheAmazing']Oh my helmut. This is gonna be great.[/QUOTE]
I hope you will be right.
[quote name='Gvus2001']Holy crap... This is looking great, so tall...[/QUOTE]
Thanks, it is very tall indeed!
[quote name='Muzz135']Titan! Let's go beyond Koloss!
[/QUOTE]
Koloss was a B&M Mega whereas Titan will be a B&M Giga, but it are both huge tube-supported hypers, so I understand the comparison. I will do my very best to make this ride as good as possible. Making it as good as Koloss - maybe even better - would be a very nice goal. Jochem definitely set the bar high with Koloss, so it will be tough, that is for sure.
[quote name='Spaghetti']Amazing! You can do it![/QUOTE]
Thank you!
[quote name='Coastergeek987']Why dont you come over to the dark side and try boxes at least once, you know you want to
Seriously. I am very excited for this. Really looking forward to seeing what crazy elements you can design
.[/QUOTE]
Haha, 'the dark side'! Lightning Racer was with boxes - because it was a woodie - but my last coaster with real box-supports was Monster, which was in 2012. So initially I wanted to build this coaster with boxes, but I changed to tubes pretty soon. To be honest, I do not regret that decision, because the lifthill looked a lot better with tubes than with boxes.
[quote name='TheZachMan28']Oh my god... You're back...
Looks magnificent so far, you never fail to impress.
Is this all going to fit in your grandparent's attic?
[/QUOTE]
Thanks! I will make it fit, I hope.
[quote name='Koozie']O_O Speechless[/QUOTE]
Thank you!
[quote name='CW5X']Here we go again. It's always exciting when you start building.[/QUOTE]
Thanks!
[quote name='Coasterman345']
Dang, that is impressive! Can't wait to see where this goes![/QUOTE]
Hint: The lay-out will mainly be inspired by Leviathan.
[quote name='MrRemcoStyle']Well, this is another amazing project from you, well done so far.[/QUOTE]
Thanks!
[quote name='Connector1o1']You already have me wanting more, I can't wait to see what you produce. Why do you have to be so good?
[/QUOTE]
My secret is: have fun while building.
[quote name='cartracer56']well it looks like im the only one that doesnt 100% like this so far the crest seems a little small for a coaster this size imo[/QUOTE]
[quote name='pkiknex25']^ It looks comparable to Leviathan and Fury 325 to me.[/QUOTE]
I agree with PKI, but thanks for pointing it out nevertheless.
[quote name='Jay 314']The lift looks amazing! It looks very realistic! Also you should go for a unique layout.[/QUOTE]
I will make the lay-out as nice as possible. Thanks!
[quote name='SFDK800']Personal opinion (here goes nothing) the supports feel way too wide, it looks a little odd. Try making the supports at a higher angle. (Please don't bombard me with endless hate)[/QUOTE]
First of all, you may criticize my builds as much as needed. If you see any room for improvement, please tell me, and do not be afraid to criticize.
I took another look at reference pictures, but the supports on Leviathan's lifthill are very wide as well, so I think mine are good.
[quote name='Gromit12']One update and 15 comments. It a seems there is bias for when to comment.
Otherwise, it looks great. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see more.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='IonZer0']It all comes down to reputation. If you've done good projects before, people will want to see you build more, and encourage you to do so.
I can't wait to see how this will look once completed![/QUOTE]
[quote name='Gromit12']Understandable.[/QUOTE]
Ionzero could be right. Thanks for all these comments!

I finished the drop this weekend. The construction took longer than I thought, because it was hard to shape the drop at this scale. I also moved the lifthill into the right position on the attic.
A pretty cool picture of the supports underneath the lifthill
A nice photo of the drop
Finally I built a lifthill that is taller than me. I am approximately 6.3 feet (190 cm) and I estimate that this lifthill is 7 feet (210 cm) tall.
