There are many coasters that pull 5+ gs, I'm sure B&M could support a 5g helix just fine. Most coaster supports are extremely strong and can probably hold a lot more weight than what they are holding up (gs and weight have the same effect on support structures).

Nemesis is a 4.5G helix, so going just up to 5G wouldnt make that much difference would it? Anyway if what you say is true Dirk, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I know its ages away from me, but still, i just want another forceful B&M on the planet! [:D]

^Sure is. I think in one of the pictures I can even see the overbank and the building around the lift is also looking good.

A 5g helix wouldn't really be a problem like a few others have said. You could either have thicker tubes or more of them.

It does look like it will be a good ride. Is it me or do i see what i call a B&M 'flicky' wing over. You know its like the first one on nemesis where you start going over at a smooth pace, but once the train starts getting overbanked, its flicks over really quickly. Sorry i cant explain it very well, but they feel awesome. [:D] Especially when they are built under ground level like the 2nd one on nemmy. YAY. I seem to be talking about nemesis all the time now! [lol]

All B&M wingovers are like that, it's to reduce laterals. If it was more constant like Arrow corkscrews there would be laterals throughout the element from overbanking too fast.

This looks like its going to be n awesome coaster. Although i think the end looks so much better than the start. The first part from the drop to the zero G roll is basically nemesis inferno, and i wasnt impressed with that ride, it was no way near as good as colossus. Hopefully this is more forceful than that ride. I suppose the landscaping and themeing will make it feel so much faster anyway.

i belive after the turn after the second cork as shown in that pic, there will be a helix that goes 270 degrees around, not a full 360

Bei *der* Interpunktion und Rechtschreibung ist's wohl etwas viel verlangt, Dein Geschreibe auch noch zu ?????????bersetzen... Tut mir leid! [:(]

They obviously have to remodel that snake "biting your feet too hard". [:D]
