Looks really nice, although I think the main support column on the left could be a bit more centered.

Some MAJOR changes are happening right now to the b&m hyper coaster right now. Because I think that having 3 200-250 foot coasters in one park is a bit repetitive, and I realized that the shaping is pretty terrible on the b&m hyper and the whole thing really has to be remade, I am turning it into a giga, but keeping the layout similar. I will make the coaster step by step and show my progress a very lot so I don't have to end up re-doing the coaster again. I intend for this to be my last "draft" of the trackwork.

Here is a shot of the drop. It is 105 m/344 ft. tall. If you have any criticism, don't be afraid to say it!

From what I can see so far the first drop looks perfectly fine but what are the forces on the pullout? It looks rather intense. Also, how is the transition into that airtime hill because it looks shaped a little weird, but as long as it works it's fine.
It's been a long time

@lol240 - The speed is about 101 Mph

@Coaster Hero - It is pretty intense in the picture I posted above, about 4.5 g's, but I have already made that figure down to about 3.7 (This is shown in the pic below).

I think by airtime hill you mean this

It is the turnaround right after the drop. ;)

IDK, but the shaping hurts my brain, haha looks kinda weird, too fast transition at top maybe...
another angle perhaps? (pic)

That drop felt like forever :lol:. Also, now that I see how it rides, I really like that turnaround now.
