Its amazing how the layout i found when there was just a lift was near 100% correct. The 0g looks pretty intense IMO. Someone make this on NL!

Yea, I dont see how that placement is final. They may need to do a few other things before its completely bolted into place.

I would like to see pictures of the other connection and support connection before believing this. I highly doubt theres an issue with this.

I expect the rails do line up, just the track is not in the right location just yet, either that or they scred up some supports. I have always wondered what the desing tolerance is when building a coaster

IF it is a fault in the calculations, it would not be the first one in the last two years for B&M.. Tatsu (that's why there aren't updates atm) and SheiKra has a fault, too. I don't think this thing is a fault.. The track still has to be set in its place.. (hopely)

Edit: It officially isn't a fault [:D] You can clearly see it here: http://onride.de/viewtopic.php?p=215818&-1#215818

There isn't a fault in the track.. There WAS a fault in the track. Ofcourse it never rode with that fault in it, because the rails couldn't be put together.

mikado, there never was a fault. B&m is just being smart that not the support has been put in fully concrete and that then suddenly the rail was too high or too low...
They connected the support the the roll, let it hang into position, and when it was fully smooth connected. They filled the concrete so it connects perfectly [:)]

Lol, I know.. I was talking about sheikra [:)] Sorry for the confusion..
But still.. this is a very strange way of building a rollercoaster.. But I understand; it's difficult to place footers for a coaster which is build with a precision of 1/16 of an inch [approve]

Those wing overs look sort of batman-ish, but w/e, batman's wingover and Silver Bullet's all felt the same to me, I never really had that "whip" feeling

Woah, it looks like they're working on paths through the area, just like we saw on that art design months ago! If they theme it as well as that showed this will own Nemesis hands down IMO.
