I started it at 2 am looking at roar at SFA and then I just built what I felt like doing.

The roll seems a bit too tight and sudden, try making it more stretched out and maybe raised a bit.

It's not bad at all! Great work on this woodie. I have to agree that the roll seems a bit tight as well as that first little bunny hop after the first drop. Try stretching it out some and then you have quite the coaster there! :)

The only bad G's on the ride is the hill before the inversion that's why I had to put a set of random trips.

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.
I will be a Thai citizen if possible in a few years.

The giga looks insane so far. Don't worry about the trademark thing (unless of course you intend on making a profit from it, but I'm pretty sure most people using NL2 don't). I'd actually rather see the old Intamin mega trains than the new ones with the flexible OTSR's. They're much more comfortable. Since you're going for an I305 style layout with really quick transitions at high speeds, definitely pay attention to the lats in the editor, and adjust them in newton, which (unlike FVD I believe) sometimes doesn't account for rotational lats.

We've seen different kinds of words to praise Deere so far! From "good" to "insane"! Never have I seen such a "big" improvement on other NL coaster websites in like a couple of months! I so wanna ride that Giga! I literally feel like that!

:D

After the bad review of Voodoo I've decided to remove the coaster from the line up more news to come on its replacement.
