Adelphia is a realistically built inverted Intamin giga coaster. This is made possible by a 65 mph launch track built at a 45degree angle, this track climbs 150ft and is then followed by an immelman that climbs the other half.

This is my first new coaster in a year due to a loss of interest on my part, so in order to prevent this I'm doing something different. I usually lose interest while supporting my track, so in this case I'm supporting as I build and smooth so I dont lose interest. Hopefully this technique works. This also happens the be the tallest coaster i've ever made so i'll be tackling some new challenges such as controlling g forces at high speeds, and supports.

I'm looking forward to everyone's feed back and support, as well as finishing my first ride in such a long time. I hope to have this done by the end of September.

Added some new track, 2 more inversions, a Loop, and a Corckscrew.

I'm really proud of this layout right now.

4 G's to the taint was a bit much for me because I'm not a power bottom like Turbo

^I would assume that it's because it's not a sit-down giga by inta, but an inverted giga by inta

That first picture really bugs me. I like your supports so far though.

^ and crappily shaped. It should be more oval shaped for a loop of that size.

^With the speed im getting when it enters that loop it pulls nearly 7gs (even after slowing it down), unless it's shaped like that, im working on keeping the gs under control and still having it look good.

Excuse the double, Finished the layout, now for some intense smoothing

My favorite part of the ride is this last inversion which is a corckscrew it really just flicks you over, yet still has perfect Gs

The train right before the brake run
