griffonj2022 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) SteelHeart "Bred of steel, heart that's real." SteelHeart, the first-ever Giga coaster from KG, is a massive 7,745 ft. undertaking. Climbing 350 ft. with a 365 ft., 99 mph drop into a ravine, SteelHeart would be the tallest, fastest, and longest Giga coaster in the world if ever constructed. Pulling +4.5G at it's horseshoe turn and -1.15G on the first airtime hill, a ride of steel may be common, but with a heart and intensity like this one, nothing can compare. Inspired by Giga coasters such as Leviathan, Fury 325, and Millennium Force, SteelHeart is a melange of multiple well-known Giga coaster elements that place emphasis on speed, forces, and high-energy thrills. The name - SteelHeart - is a combination of two things. While Steel is hard, strong, and durable, Heart is passionate and intense; therefore, when combined, SteelHeart is meant to illustrate the power of steel, but the energy and intensity that ride along it's rails. SteelHeart is a combination of two things that represent KG as well, as it was released on April 9, 2015 - KG's 20th birthday. Edited April 12, 2015 by A.J.

griffonj2022 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 That is incredible! The ride just keeps going and going! Great job! Thank you! I set out to just design a B+M Giga coaster, but it turned out much larger than I had anticipated. Overall, I like it, but it does seem to go on forever.
