Sour Diesel-Intamin Giga

[yoshifreak]

Been working on this for about a month now, progress is slow, but I figured I'd post what I have done so far. Comments would be appreciated.

the transition looks nice. Does it pull any air?

[yoshifreak]

Yea, -0.3 actually. Here's the layout so far:



There's actually more than this bit done, but it's not really how I want it yet, so I'm gonna hold off on showing it.

looks great so far.

I see some canaon the first pic,so is it a pot-themed ride?

[yoshifreak]

Well right now the working title and theme is Sour Diesel, so yes. But as far as theming, colors, and name go, it's still up in the air. The ride was in a way inspired by Hansixx's Ganja, because I sort of liked the theme idea, but like I said, nothing is final yet.

I don't have Ganja,but heard about it,can someone send it to me?

Sent it

Thanks!

Call it Strawberry Cough, Blue Cheese, White Widdow, G13 (lol) or Purple Haze:)... Or atleast a nice stain
Looks pretty good

You should add funny signs like on Ganja(like the MCBR,the Mid Course Bong Refil)!

Haha, yea it was between trainwreck and sour diesel, but I felt sour diesel fits the new style intamin giga better.

Looks nice, I love that color combo you have going on.

At least I hope this will be not just another I305 clone,there are so much of them in the last time...
But if its unique I look forward!

Well I have some really interesting ideas planned, and something I've been toying with is maybe throwing in an inversion or two. Although this will be difficult because I want to maintain realism, and since inversions on a giga have never been done before, I'm not sure how it would play out...

^Could refer to Arrow Hyperlooper...
Anyway,nice idea,somebody should do the first step...

[yoshifreak]

Well the inversions if any would be very low to the ground, more along the lines of maverick's failed heartline roll, or instead of the normal upright banking transitions on I305, just turning one upside-down. Something I've been working on recently that I'd like an opinion on is the lift hill stairs/car. My lift is slightly steeper than I305, and definitely taller, so I figured going with a cable car would be a good idea. What do you guys think?

Yes to both,if the coaster is terrain,you could make something like a corkscrew or a zero-g-roll...

Aw damn you. Just as I was making the crest of my giga coaster, I saw this topic. Oh well. Imma gunna make it anywayz.

IMO The first hill should be taller, I like height in a ride, and you can get more sustained airtime instead of just the little hop. With the height of the ride you could have a sweet airtime hill... but that's just my opinion..

[yoshifreak]

^Well I went for prolonged airtime instead of extremely poignant airtime, although it already hits -1.1 there anyways.

Update: Unrealistic or original?





Thoughts?

Can you show some simulator pics?

^On the way hold on, I'll edit this post and put them here:

With the new spine you need less supports and you can make more spectecular elements,you can make cooler supports...

I like the zero - G - Roll. Nice addition.
