new B&M stations

[Turbo]

how long are they? you know like on behemoth or diamondback.



does anyone know?

depends on how long the train is and how long they want them to be

[Turbo]

8 cars of the new trains from b&m

The train is 72 feet long. So my guess is that the stations are around 90 feet.

k. thanks for that. it helps a lot for my new nl coaster

While we're on the topic of B&M hypercoaster dimensions, does anybody know what Behemoth's lift hill angle is?

I'm guessing 40-45 degrees

^Thanks, I'll go with 40 and see how that looks. I asked because I'm building what I hope will be my first "serious" NL coaster, a B&M hyper, and I want to make sure it fairly realistic.

Definatly not more than 40, keep it there for starters, I would guess 35-38.

That looks about 40 degrees, and it's coming at us so it's going to look a little steeper.

Crap, if I put the lift hill at 40 it gets dangerously close to a nearby ejector hill. Since it was recommended I shouldn't go steeper, I'm gonna have to go with 35; if that doesn't work I'll redesign or get rid of the ejector hill entirely.
EDIT: 35 didn't work, I'm getting rid of the airtime hill.

Here's what the problem looks like.

Can't you change the angle of your lift on the topview or move the station forward and adjust the drop a little so the lift fits underneath it.
It would be a shame to get rid of an airtime hill because some dumb lift hill got in the way.

Look more closely, I think it's actually going away from us at that angle.... not that it makes any difference to your comment, but still!

Get rid of the lift, who the hell needs it?

Elevator lifts are where its at!

Who need lifts when you can have Stargates?

EDIT: ^ Stargates, LOL!!!

Yeah, I thought it would be a shame to get rid of it as well, so I decided instead to run the airtime hill through the Purg to scale it a bit and then reinsert it. It's a little less forceful now, but it's still forceful enough.

Here's what I did. On a side note, I've decided on the ride's name: Strangelet. I've also decided on the colors, as you can see.

I would laugh if carter 'n' company walked through that...
