Hey everyone, I am back but with a smaller build that wont take a long time to build since I am in college now and I have been very busy with my classes and work in it! Alright so i wanted to do a recreation of the defunct coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa called Python, which was in the park from 1976- 2006 until it closed and Jungala, a kids area was built in its place. I built this coaster so far during the winter break and I just wanted to get the lift completed and working which I did! The lift supports and lift angle of the real coaster were pretty difficult at first but weren't as bad once I got the hang of it. I'm using a six car train used in real life and I also added the storage track like the ride had, but I did not want to make it work. After the lift, the 180 degree right turn has the same lift supports then from the drop on the rest of the ride has tube supports which should be fun to build! It is going to be hard to make the right turn supports stable when the train is on that section of track, but well see how it turns out later on. Rollerfreak987 may come up during spring break so we can finish the coaster in a few days, he likes this ride and has rode it many times similarly to myself! I want to get this coaster completed during spring break in early March, but if not I will get it done after the semester is over in late April! Hope you enjoy the pics and have a great day!
The custom gear box I made using three motors for the lift!
