Orion

It seems that we have not seen a true Giga in a while so I decided to begin making one. I've been working on the layout for about a month. I've finally got one I loke and I'm sticking to it. Supports begin soon.

p.s. I looked around for my original topic on Orion but went through pages and pages and could not find it....

You could've searched for it.

Anyways, for your screens, I would post an overall view (preferably one from the simulator)

looks good nice job any 3ds?

It will have a 3D station for sure....maybe some tunnels....

looks painfull [xx(]

thats just the view he has it, i hope!

Updated layout...now its on to supports and terrain.

no it's not LOL

meaning what?

Final layout is complete, I decided to go with a B&M Mega. I've never made one so I wanted to give it a shot. Here's a look at the final layout.....

Not bad. I'll certainly download.


Edit: Agree with FN.

that helix looks nice

That helix took quite a while, I would be embarassed to say how long......Finally figured it out though.......just took about 7,304 attempts.

So the helix took you like...hmmm lets see here...about 5 days to do? Possibly more?

About a week's worth of swearing and I had myself the helix...

So I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 swear words said?

I wish it were only 1000.

Wow, over 1000. Thats some serious frustration.

The leadout was giving me the most trouble....and thus, it was the object of my frustrations

Ahhhhhhhh. I find it hard to make good helices too.

Update to the project, made some adjustments to it and am starting the supporting and theme. Here's a look....

The 3d track connection flanges look good. They really add to a coaster.

yeah but they are not fun to place.

Do the flanges create more swearing?

This whole ride is one big obscenity.
