I am back with a new coaster, called Titan. It is a B&M Giga inspired by Leviathan and Fury 325. Due to college, I will only be able to build on it in the weekend. Sorting the pieces of Helmerpark took a while, so that is why I have not been able to build for such a long time.
I did not have time to clean the room and to take more pictures, I am sorry for that. I initially wanted to build this coaster with boxes, but after I finished the lift I made the change to tube-supports. That explains the box-supported lift structure laying on the floor in the background.
Hopefully I can finish the drop next weekend. I did not measure the height of the lifthill yet, but it must be around seven feet or taller.

Looks magnificent so far, you never fail to impress.
Is this all going to fit in your grandparent's attic?

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.One update and 15 comments. It a seems there is bias for when to comment.
I can't wait to see how this will look once completed!

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...

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.

[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.
