TheCoasterMan589's Thread- Giga Coaster

[TTD03]

Cool stuff, looks more like a B&M Giga than a hyper though
Nice shaping, and like the others, please don't forget about Elevate!

Don't worry guys, Elevate is still being worked on!

^^In regards to that first turnaround, it was inspired by Fury 325.

^I don't know if it is the FOV, but it is only about 220 feet tall

thanks for that video! I have a hard time following which side of the rails the coaster runs on with these inverts until they are supported XD. Looks pretty good!

TTD - Actually there are three full circuit Intamin inverts that come to mind. Volcano: TBC is the only launched one that I know of though if you are meaning ones with no lifts.

^Yeah he knows that, but he ignored those and only counted the launched ones

yeah, I didn't get that far in the topic before posting haha

Never seen a floor with a post-MCBR cobra roll lol. The six car train on the B&M hyper looks odd but it'll work.

[TTD03]

^ Yea, I've always wanted to see some major element after a MCBR! Never happens though.

I forgot I even posted the video of that floorless piece of junk . I actually kind of like the layout though except for that stupid barrel roll and the overbank. Do you think I should remake that properly in FVD sometime? (Of course it would be after I am finished working on the many projects I have going)

Never enough speed to do big cool elements - especially with longer trains!

How is the shaping so far? It might just be me, but I think the lead in to the turn around element at about 0:20 is a bit wonky. What do you think?

I like it. It's different. One thing is the tracks are pretty close together right before and after the turnaround.

Don't worry, its clearance tested.

I also like it. It's like a hyper with giga-style elements mixed with airtime!

Yeah, seems nice man!

[TTD03]

Turn is wonky, but in a good way, I like it! Keep it up!

[mkingy]

Check your clearances and keep the good work up!

If anyone wants to test the preliminary layout of my hyper, just pm me and I will send you the download link. I want some feedback so I can move on to a final draft of the layout.

I had people test my ride so I'll pass on the favor... sign me up! I actually have some free time for the first time in a while

PM sent^

I won't be able to have a look till midweek but if that's okay drop me a link

^link sent through pm

Threw in my own skybox because the one in the screenshots wasn't part of the file. Figured it fit with the name you suggested (even though I had the same name in mind for a ride myself )!

Love the shaping of the drop. I can never get my B&Ms to look like that!

One of the more unique turnarounds on a B&M, but it flows very nicely. And the entrance bank you were worrying about earlier looks fine as well

Hmmm... Fury 325 inspiration here?

Not sure if it was my computer (frame rate has been all over the place lately) or the hills themselves, but this final section feels very rushed. Transitions are smooth but seem too quick, and a little forceful. Other than that the ride is paced quite nicely!

Any more questions, feel free to ask! Willing to help out any way I can

Looking epic

Is it your skybox? It looks almost the same as the one I used in my coaster but that is Dave ainsworth's .

Haha no, it's not my skybox, I'm not that good . It is one of Dave's, I was meaning that the skybox was one I had on my computer!
