Yes, I'm recreating Griffon at Busch Garden Europe. I know that a lot of of people are recreating this but I really wanna build this amazing roller coaster. Heres are some pictures. Please, don't forget to COMMENT!!!

Looks good to me, but wait for others confirmation, because I'm not really familiar with Griffon.

P.S. - Does the car really make it around that whole turn?

Yes, it make it.

[Coaster55]

Try to make the drop sharper and not hit vertical until a lot further down. The crest and turn look good, though.

Steelway is directing 2 griffon re-cres at the same time? Or did Big Builder cancel.

Looks good Jean. Make the drop super sharp then gradual.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Ya we're directing 2

Try to do what Coaster55 said...here's an example:

[Little Kuriboh]

I agree. I ride griffon at least twice a week. Very sharp then gradual. how tall to you plan on making this? The 90* part of the drop shouldnt be bigger than a foot. its very gradual.

[JPCoaster]

Update! I fixed the drop and began the pullout. Here are some pictures and a Test video :

COOMMEENNTT!!

[VVBuilder]

It looks much better but I would stil make that drop more gradual.

[Rollerboaster]

Still hits vertical too quick. It should go down another granite rod before making it vertical.

[SwimZONE]

^Agreed, and the pull-out pulls out, but then there's a huge straight spot...

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I agree with the above posts, it hits vertical a little too soon. The holding brake is great though.

[JPCoaster]

I think I finally got it. Tell me if i'm wrong... Here are somes pictures :









Please, COOMMEENNTT!!

Dude that looks nice but a few bumps on thepull-in/pull-outs.

[RightWayTrey]

There are two small sharp spots. One right where the pull-out begins and one at the beginning of the pull-in.

[Rollerboaster]

It still hits vertical a little too quick. The transition into vertical gets too steep too quickly. Also the sharpest point of the crest is a tad too sharp.

Ok, I'll fix it.

The grey rods (vertical section) begin at 2 granite rods down of the top. I can't make the vertical section lowest, the pullout gonna be to small.

Somethings bugging me in that second pic...your crest and the first granite the drop look good but then it just seems to bulge out too far and too sharply. Look at this pic of Coaster55's SheiKra compared to yours:





See what I mean??

[JPCoaster]

Ok, I resized my picture to the same size of Coaster55's pictures and I drew a blue line to compare. It's exactly the same blue line but I fliped it with Paint option.





Is that okay if I do that??

[SwimZONE]

Raise the line so it's up on the tubing, otherwise, you're not getting the same results.
