A giant is among us...

Ride the waves...

 

[Antinos]

Is that a vertical drop?

 

[Intricks]

Near vertical. Skyrush/I305 style drop

 

[B&MintaminGCI]

Is that a vertical drop?

It's about 86-87 degrees.

This is a B&M though. A huge B&M, that makes Leviathan look tiny.

If my numbers are the same as yours and each box constitutes the same amount of distance (13 boxes) your coaster is about 420 feet tall. Top Thrill Dragster height.

426'

 

[tomahawk]

That looks really awkward.

 

[Ethan]

^ It does at the moment. If or when he supports it more it should look better.

Layout so far

 

[Snoo]

Wayyyyyy too much supporting on that hill.

 

[Ethan]

How'd you get the track spine?

 

[B&MintaminGCI]

Wayyyyyy too much supporting on that hill.

Keep in mind this is 426 feet tall, I personally think it's under supported

How'd you get the track spine?

Construction kit

1. Load the track into construction kit
2. Modeler/Create Model
3. Rails/set number of rails to 0
5. Spine/Number of spines 2
6. Y coordinate=-1.10 Size 0.5 or 0.6, change shape to square
7. Crossties/Erase both "model files" and then uncheck "Use primary crosstie"
8. Force remodel all
9. Model/Save Model as and uncheck EVERYTHING besides "Track" and then save as a 3ds.

I have a terrible sense of sarcasm over the internet, lol

I'm actually redoing the supports at the moment, to make it look nicer, as if B&M really would support a strata.

New supports and height comparison:

 

[Intricks]

Go with how Leviathan is supported if you want to go realistic.

I don't want to copy Leviathan as this is a whole new class of coasters. I want some originality, though the angled supports from close footers is stolen from Nitro.

Here's a sim shot:

 

[tomahawk]

I say it looks awkward because it is so narrow at the top, and then draws out, which, for something like this, I would expect the top of the drop to be more drawn out than that.

Basically to scale with Levi, but bigger

That clears it up. Thanks man.
