My first park

Does this shaping look right?

The drop looks appealing to me, from the top to the angled point where you reach about 60 degrees.

I decided to make Breeze in FVD because it seemed more B&Mish
Here is my progress


I tried reworking the Intimidator turn.

^ I am

Well, how are the things going?

Well, still working on the airtime hill
Here's pictures of the current progress


Once I learn how to make a proper airtime hills a lot more progress should be made

^ Just keep tweaking until you get each element "just" right!

I wasn't happy with my first park, so I decided to start over. My hand-building techniques have slightly improved so this park should be better. Right now I am starting on a giga for the park that will go past the entrance. I don't know what to call it yet, but here are pictures of it. The giga is a very much a WIP at the moment.

304 foot tall lift hill (I am terrible with making names and color schemes for rides )


Overbank that comes after the lift


Part that goes under the entrance

Whole ride, ignore the part on the far right, as it will soon become a over banked turn
As I said before this is still a very big WIP, and I know that there are a lot of issues still to fix, ex. supports, entrance into first airtime hill, but feel free to give advice

In my opinion the best first drop test for a B&M gyper/giga is to sustain 0g throughout the entire drop

I presume you're going for a Fury 325 inspired ride so the sweeping turns and large overbank certain keep to that style - although the dip under the entrance looks quite severe in comparison given the pictures. Might be the angle though.

You might already think this but I think the extended spine needs to be steeper as the track is currently shaped. Try setting it at an angle similar to the steepest part. Should give it a more natural look and it would be a far better support in real life.
