What suggestions you give in supporting this segment. i9t starts out at an incline uphill and then goes into the series of barrel rolls there, I am having trouble finding a way to support in a reasonable manner. What suggestions you recommend?

I would do the supports like this:

Although i would probably support the incline at the beginning different.

well, this is quite high in the air so something more sturdy would be needed, quite high and fast I might add.

Ohh okay. What about some more boxy looking supports. Kinda like Intamin hyper supports bit a little less detailed. If you have ridden Desteny by Jan, you will understand what kind of supports i mean.

Actually this would work -- just add in a little more lateral bracing and you should be fine for realism.

You could make them like itiman hyper supports like the boxy kind on like superman ride of steel

Box supports would be unnecessary, and wouldn't look too pretty.

How tall is this element, may I ask?

like 500 feet in the air

Whoa WWS! 500 feet?????? And its going fast at this point???? What is the coasters highest and fastest points?

EDIT: Can you even have 500 foot in nolimits?

No you can't. As you can all see, WWS is a liar and doesn't deserve to be helped in this situation!


I think that the element should be supported like Intamin's giga supports, except using triangle shaped towers instead of squares. And instead of all that cross bracing, it would look a lot more pretty if the bracing was done alike TTD and KK.

i'd use the kind of support MF has on the 1st overbank, you know the boxed support with the arms

when I used the word "like", it was meant to be highest point in the editor, which is actually 490 feet.
I gopt something working in it, looks alright, as long as it holds

I think this would work.

and why are you saying this? idiot

You would have to use some kind of box support. If you take a look at Hansixx's Gonzo, you will see exactly the same situation. Its over at cs.com, but if you can't access it for certain reasons i will be happy to send it over so you can take a look.
