With me getting NL recently i have begun to build and build and begun my first project. Its name is dust devil and its an intamin mini hyper. Its About 45 feet high and 1250 feet long. I didn't want to do anything over the top for my first ride and just wanted a ride that would be enjoyable for the whole family. So far it has passed tunnel test. Track work is about 80 percent done, there are a few elements that i feel need to be shaped better. As for G's there is one small yellow spike in lats buts its only for a second. As for supports, because i hate the way auto supports look (wood magic really isn't that good) i have decided to do custom supports. For the most part they will be custom. I can't say it will be 100 percent but i will try as close as i can. Anything else im forgetting? Not that i can think of.

To be honest, this looks more like a family ride than a mini-hyper. I thought mini hypers were like 80-100 feet in size. Oh well, it looks nice anyway. Good luck!

It is more of a family ride and now that i think about it vampire is right and the thing is not close to a mini hyper.
