[NL] - Un-named B&M Giga

[AmyUD06]

Backstory: Upset with seeing comments on various forums that they have lost any sense of innovation or originality, B&M released information on their first-ever Gigacoaster. Still in the prototype stages, the coaster requires a few final touches, but the company hopes to use this ride to finally give Intamin some competition when it comes to world records.

 

Statistics:

 

Maximum Speed: 96 mph

Peak Height: 375 ft

First Drop: 271 ft, 100*

Length: 9110 ft (~1.7 miles)

Lift Hill : 57* LIM-powered at 40 mph

Features:

-700* and 540* helixes

-6 airtime hills

-270* climbing turn

-270* dive-and-climb turn

-50mph, 2.5g boost launch into lift hill.

 

World Records:

-Longest coaster

-Fastest non-launched coaster

-Tallest non-launched coaster

 

Color scheme and supports are obviously in the works!

-Passes E-Stop Test (in so much as that it will never crash due to e-stop activation; there are times when it won't restart that I blame on NL and not the design).

-Passess Tunnel Test.

 

Comments apprciated. Yeah, I know it needs a bit more smoothing and fine-tuning of banking angles.

Well, the trackwork was good but not great.

 

Thats all I can say really until you actually release the full ride.

Once you're done can you make a video?

Update: Trackwork is done (as much as I'm doing, in other words) and lift hill/drop supports in place.

Updated track file.

Going down.

An unconventional B&M calls for unconventional supports.

No caption.

I think it'll be better if you didn't give us the download everytime you update it.

 

Great work though!

Looking pretty good; much better than the little Double-Dip coaster you posted!

[AmyUD06]

Finished some more support work. The paying job keeps me pretty busy, so time to work on the coaster is slim. Making supports is such a tedious process (don't hold your breath on realistic beam joints for this one )

You know you could use ASG.... Could support your ride in seconds. And I agree with Gumbo, you don't need to post a download link every update.

But then we wouldn't have the joy of watching the coaster being built.

I like seeing it improve after every update, which is one reason why he probably posts the download every time. I don't want to see it done in only one update.

 

I really like this coaster. The layout is just so amazing. Keep me updated.
