Mfffft buh wha vhsriover. B&M called. They want their coaster back.

[CowmanBearPig]

I feel like the pullout should be a little bit larger. Or not, whatever you feel is right. Everything else looks lovely as always!

Is this taller than koloss?

[Gvus]

Leviathan inspired?
Looks amazing, this is going to be the next Koloss.

"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."

Just an everyday thing around here.

But actually: I really like the shape of the drop, i think it's spot on. The pullout may be a bit too small, but perhaps that is just the B&M styling. Seeing where you placed the lift, I am going to go and presume there will be a turning element next.

[timtimlaz]

The tallest support(the third one) seems to make the the backbone for the lift to have a bump. It is most noticeable in the fourth picture. Once you fix that then this will be perfect. I always wanted someone to make a B&M Giga with tubes, and you seem to be the perfect one to make one. I cannot wait to seem more!

Edit: Can you do a close up on the spine?

Perfect. I'm excited to see what's in store for this coaster.

[The Stig]

I'm impressed at the level of accuracy that you were able to implement. The shape, the pullout, the spine extension, and the supports look spot on. I'd say you don't have to change a thing. You mentioned that you've moved the lift hill into it's final position, so I assume you already have the first element planned out. I can't wait to see this feat come together

[< NCcoaster >]

This is incredible. The potential in this B&M Giga is extremely high. I can't wait to see the rest of the layout even though I could look at the perfect drop all day.

[Connector1o1]

I think you made the crest look very nice for this size of the lift, I was worried it would look a little small but it's nice. I can't find anything wrong with this drop at all, and even if I did it pould probably just me me anyway.

[maarten12]

I've searched for some pictures of the drop of Fury 325 and Leviathan, and comparing these with your drop I think it's perfectly fine. The only thing that bothers me is that your lift hill isn't straight. The highest support (the one before the crest) seems like it is pushing the track up a little, It's up to you to fix it or not .

[MrRemcoStyle]

That drop looks very good but the drop looks a bit too small, i'm not the only one that is says,other than that very good and very very very B&M-ish!

[RidesByDaan]

Them God is building something GodlySexy again!

[Connector1o1]

The crest looked like it was going to be a little small, until you built this beautiful drop for us. The pullout seems a little tiny, but I agree that it looks like the B&M style, and not to mention it will look ten times better with the next element built. I also never understood how everyone builds those structure spine things that follow the drop and connect to the ground, every time I try and do that the whole structure just bends in the opposite direction. Oh well, I guess I jut need more experiance. I can't wait to see what's next!
Edit: I didn't remember that I already commented about this update, sorry for the double post.

So my coaster was 8 ft tall! (I estimated).

Edit: looks great. How does one get a big attic? Are they in most houses?

I missed this update when it came out...
All I can say is that is the nicest B&M Giga-styled drop I have ever seen. Everything from the supports to the shaping is spot on. Doing all that at this large scale is beyond impressive.

[IOAgeek]

Looks amazing wish I could build like that!!

Screw B&M, it is mine now.

Thanks! It is normal that the pull-out looks small on a B&M Giga.

I think Koloss is one feet taller.

This coaster is definitely inspired by Leviathan. I loved that ride!

I fixed the bump in the lifthill. This picture is also a kind of close-up of the spine. Let me know if you need a better one.

The drop may look a little strange, but it is very similar to the drops on B&M Giga's like Leviathan and Fury 325.

No, they are not in most houses. My grandparents' house has more space than they need for themselves. I kind of took up that extra space on the attic with my K'NEX projects.

Practice makes perfect.

I was halfway building an overbank like the first overbank on Leviathan, but the overbank entirely blocked the staircase. So I had to move the lifthill into a different position, which took me half an hour...

In the new position, I found out that a different type of overbank would fit better. I also slightly changed the lay-out. Not a hill, but a high-speed-turn will be next, inspired by Fury 325. The high-speed-turn will go underneath the lifthill.
As for now I am done with building the overbank. It fits perfectly in the available space.

[Yannick]

I like it! Shaping is great, maybe some more banking, but it isn't really necesasary, the overall look is great! I'm sure you'll get a nice layout out of this!

Edit: Will you have enough pieces for this?

Edited by Sputnnik, 26 December 2014 - 07:50 PM.

[Jumpge]

The new lift hill spine looks great and definitely keeps the lift much straighter. Although your original layout was fantastic, I'm sure this new combination of elements will be just as great. The overbank looks fantastic. I have zero complaints about its shaping. I will say I'm very excited to see the next element built.
