Hello everyone, I am here again with another model! Grip of the Talon was an idea of mine for B&M's first compact four across dive machine. This model stands a proud 2 feet and has a real 90 degree drop! After the drop it soars into an immelan and then into a very tight helix/ tilted loop around the drop. Then the end of the helix flies under the lift dodging its own supports. I would love to ride this but sadly may not happen. This model was very hard to create since I went through three different layouts and on top of the hassle of running low on supports I had major problems with the rails. I have several cuts on my hands thanks to those devils. Along with the following pictues I also have another video. Hope you enjoy!

When I first saw this I thought you re-made Talon: The Grip of Fear at Dorney. Not a bad design there.
