I don't know how I feel about that. I mean, in a weird way it will bring in revenue, but at the same time, the rides that utilize it will have to add 1 or 2 more ride op positions to enforce it.

^That is bizarre. It kind of defeats the purpose of being able to control the speed of the train (based on weight, wind, etc...) Unless they are adjustable?

I wonder if the truss assembly is simply because of space requirements (going over Comet), or if it actually saves money on lift support, or if there are other reasons...wouldn't it seem that simply adding another support would cost less than running a truss under the entire lift?

^It also says giga coaster is defined by airborne s-curves, yet Millennium has none...I said it is a new design for a megalite, I did not say it was a clone. Also, I quite agree about the ending, it did seem to be lacking. However, the speed I am dealing with at that point means if I draw them out any more, they would not be very exciting. I considered the time interval between them and it's really not all that different from the hilly-s-curve sections in real megalites, just at a slower speed so that the track has to be more compact. My only other option was to simply end the ride, which wouldn't have been too much fun to me...any opinions on other possible endings?

I haven't posted a coaster here in a long time! I figured why not. This is one of my most recent projects, meant to be a newer version of an Intamin Megalite with improved capacity, speed, and airtime! Let me know what you think!

^What I observed is that the wheel assemblies aren't very tightly clamped to the track. If you look directly at the wheels (any car 2-8) going over the hills, you'll notice they shake left and right. I'm not too familiar with what B&M has done in the past, but I feel like it has to do with the fact that the wheels are [obviously] set much farther apart on the tiered seating than on their normal 4-abreast seating. On Raptor, you can notice the effect of this type of thing, but it is quite minimal and not enough to be uncomfortable, however on Diamondback, it is quite obvious. That's just what I observed..

It's kind of bizarre seeing B&M track without a crazy high heartline. I like it!

Welcome to the off-season people!

^IT says 90 seconds in the back of the machine, they never mention it.

That was too quick! Good job Vin

"I am here and ready to go!"

Best post here. Wow, I love the way this thing looks. The interaction with the terrain is really awesome, and I bet with the lake below full of water, this thing will be incredibly impressive!

Woo! Finally!
