I finally finished my video. I hope you like it.

Awesome layout! One quick question, is the first drop vertical? It certainly looked like it in the offride shots. If it is, then I love your layout even more!

Yes, the drop is vertical, and several of the turns are overbanked, some at 110 degrees

This is a view of the construction area as of today, not much going on.

I was hoping they would mention this site

So I'm not the one who discovered this technique? Perhaps the ride is this:
Height: 328 feet
Drop: 325 feet

I'm giving you the credit since you detailed it in the thread. I just did some rough calculations myself based on the same information you did to get my previous guess of 328 feet. I wasn't as detailed as you, though, and I came up with a number less than 328 but rounded up.

Using different techniques I have gotten 315 feet, 328 feet and 335 feet. I can't say I've found the exact number yet, but I'll continue working on it.

(Sorry about double post)

I also just finished my recreation that I've been working on since the blueprints were leaked. The rest of the park is pictured similar to the traditional official videos.

^ best one yet

Edit: ..except for the name

^Name change, and that video would be PERFECT!

I agree. Great job. Best and most likely the closest video to what the real thing will be that we have seen so far.

Wow. I love it. You put more time into yours, I only had one night. your recreation and mine are very similar. We used the same plans of course, but even the hills are nearly the same. However, your version has tighter curves in a way. The only difference I see between the two (other than the name and theme), is the ending. You have tight turns going into a brake run (fantastic by the way), and I have a last hill curving down into a splash down then up another bunny hill and down the brake run. So, I think we are getting closer to what our Giga may look like.
Since we both have kind of the same concepts Amazing. Well, everyone, what do you think.
Two people who don't know each other, use the same 2D plans and create something that is very similar to the others' concept. Makes me wonder if THIS is what the final product will look like.

Oh I'm so excited!!!

Here are my favorite two visual's from rc's prediction video: [attachment=2]2015.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=1]2015 (2).jpg[/attachment]
I think this is the closest thing we'll get before the announcement

EDIT: One more stunning visual: [attachment=0]2015 (3).jpg[/attachment]

does Cedar Fair also use this program (nolimits2) when they do their showcase renderings? like they did for Intimidator and windseeker?

[tarheel1231]

^ Nolimits 2 was only released a few months ago, but I heard that the program they use is similar to it.

[FamousAmos]

Has anyone ever heard of a program called Theme Park Studio? It's basically the equivalent of RCT 4 and NoLimits2 combined. It's still in beta though Ah well, we'll have to use whatever we can use, and NoLimits2 is the best answer.
