Cool Kanchenjunga: Great Inatmin Giga-Twister.

Named after the world's third tallest mountain, this ride offers a great assortment of elements, mixing tall hills with twisting ascents and descents. Starting with a 300 foot drop, it goes through a 210 foot diving drop, an inverted overbank that reaches 178 feet, a 155 foot stengel dive, then a 159 foot airtime hill that is probably the best element of the ride due to the sharp peak and very steep drop afterwards, next you climb back to about 130 feet, drop into an overbank, then hit the brake run and go over two airtime hills, finally finishing in a double helix and sharp curve back to the station.

As always, my *&!#$% computer will not allow two trains( so I can't check g-forces unless I run only one ), but it will be easy for you to add the brake run after the final turn to make it have two or three trains.

Very similar in concept to my Perpetual Burn ride, only on a bigger scale.


Enjoy!

GREAT coaster. You were pullin some major positive G's on the trough of some of those dips and some of the turns had a few excessive G's. But overall....AWESOME!! Got some good airtime on the bunny hops and the track layout was what I really liked....BIG! I rank ya at an 85/100! Nice Work!

Overall, very good. Not as good as Perpetual Burn-it just didn't have that out of control feeling.

I guess bigger ISN't always better.

Ironically, I made Perpetual Burn while working on Kanchenjunga. That explains their similar first two elements. I was getting bored while working on the big one, and decided to make one exactly half the height to break up the monotony.

Funny thing is, you are right..........the smaller one does feel more out of control, while the big one gives a gentler ride.

Time for another one!
