Hi all,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I can find some more snaps/plans/overhead shots of "The Pepsi Max Big One" in Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

I want to make it a bit of an ongoing project to recreate this coaster, since in my opinion it's one of the better ones in the UK, albeit a bit short :)

Thanks,

Steve

Great start - thanks.

What I really need now is some sort of overhead view of the whole park, so I can get the layout perfect and cross-reference it with local roadmaps so I get the proportions right :)

Thanks for any help y'all have.

I think you'd get alot of extra points[approve] if you made the Pepsi can and the cartextures and the supports(that'd be SOOO hard)

The supports wouldn't be that hard, not easy, but not THAT hard.

And, of course, I've always got my good mate IntaminFan to help out with the supports ;)

It's not one of my favourite coasters, but I thought it has a nice kick to it. Always thought it'd make a difficult but easy challenge to recreate though (being built on flat land :)).

I still can't seem to find any decent shots of towards the end of the coaster, after it hits the first brake block. I know it's got a helix, and then it dips through a tunnel after snapping your pic, but if I'm going to do this, I wanna do it properly and get the proportions right...
