The structure of that drop looks crazy. You're such a good builder. Looking forward to this one.

Can we get a direct side view of the drop please?

And be honest, is that lift structure actually sturdy? I have a hard time imagining it but I'll take your word.

Dam* it...I was just starting a giga (my biggest coaster) myself. Why? :(

On another note, it looks really nice. I really like it without the middle support. I may try something like that myself.

I love how the lift and drop is all one continuous structure, rather than the normal traingular lift, but it looks like it could possibly be shaky. As for the name, I think it's pretty cool, considering your name is stεεlspectrum. Maybe switch it to Stεεl Giga?

I'm really upset that you canceled condor. it was your best by far.

Honestly, I don't think you'll finish it, but then again, thats what i thought about leviathan.

^lol. Looks great! I think you might want to at least add the flat structure on the ground, (with just ladders, greys, and reds), but whatever. Do you have enough pieces to finish a coaster that big? With boxes?

Wow! Thanks for all the comments guys! I'll try to answer your questions.

1. Is the structure strong enough?
- Yes. If it starts to sag, then I have a very good way to reinforce it without adding extra supports.

2. Do I have enough pieces?
- Probably. I'm aiming to have mostly ground-level elements, so I think I should be fine.

3. Direct side view?
- Not at the moment (since there's a wall there) but maybe in a few days.

4. Switch the name to Stεεl Giga?
- No, I only wrote that as the thread title since I don't have a name at the moment.


More work on the drop and possibly a start on the next element will take place this weekend.

:rfro

It would be nice of you have Somers groundlevel elements. Although it would be hard to keep speed then. Good luck! :)
