[NL] Tempest

[Bassdirt]

Hey all,

 

So this has been my main project for the past couple weeks, but I keep running into snags and end up doing something else out of frustration lol. So I'm posting this basically to force me to finish the coaster. I'm not one to really make coasters of this size, but I figured it's about time I try and take a swing at a B&M hyper (and I ended up getting really invested in the layout I drew out, which ended up being longer than I had anticipated lol).

 

I tried to keep it pretty faithful to B&M's usual style/shaping (especially with their hypers), but some of my personal style definitely seeped through, giving it an unusual composition... but that's okay since I find that the stereotypical B&M hyper can be rather cut and dry when you're only watching it in a simulator and not actually riding it.

 

Inspiration includes:

-Shambhala

-Diamondback

-Leviathan

-Apollos Chariot

 

Stats:

 

Height: 254 ft.

Length: 5740 ft.

Max. Speed: 82 MPH

Steepness of Drop: 85 degrees

--Featuring not one, but TWO double-downs! (You can never have enough).

 

Those are all the stats you get for now

 

On to the pictures!

(Colors are incredibly temporary and I'm just starting to terraform)

I think it looks great! I love the huge sweeping turn over the water, and the airtime hills/double down look super fun. Can't wait to see a POV for this one.

This project looks amazing. I am loving the first drop, and the turn over the water. Can't wait to see more! Keep up the great work!!
