The Forgotten Giant @ Heide Park | Intamin Giga Coaster Concept | + Colossos | + Giant's Little Bumblebee

Introduction: This park is a fictional recreation of a part of Heide Park, Germany. It contains three different coasters, namely "The Forgotten Giant", "Colossos" and "Giant's Little Bumblebee". The Forgotten Giant: This is my fourth coaster. It is a concept for an Intamin giga-coaster at Heide Park (Germany). Around 2000/2001 while the wooden coaster "Colossos" was still under construction, Heide Park planned to build a steel coaster next to "Colossos". The goal was to build the tallest, steepest and fastest coaster in the world at this time (Over 100 m tall and steeper than 80°). But the plan was postponed from year to year and at some point the plan got discarded completely. The reasons were the high costs and the fact that now Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point (USA) had been build and it was much taller then the giga-coaster could have been. Also Heide Park needed more family friendly attractions in the next years. In a German TV documentary (RTL, Spiegel TV) about the construction of "Colossos", German coaster engineer Werner Stengel showed briefly a technical drawing of a possible layout of this coaster. It clearly shows that this coaster should have been a "Millennium Force"-like giga-coaster design (Cedar Point, USA). I tried to recreate this layout in NoLimits 2. To do this, I used an overlay inside the NoLimits 2 editor of Google Earth Images from Heide Park to match the correct sizes and first build "Colossos". Then I tried to stick closely to the technical drawing. Unfortunately, the technical drawing shows just one angle and is in bad quality so it was not easy. Furthermore, I hade to change the layout a bit because I was not able to obtain allowed g-forces in all turns. Also the final height of the coaster is "just" 103 m because going higher made the g-force problem too bad to handle (Originally they planed with an height of up to 125 m)! Stats: Height: 103 m (338ft) Speed: 155 km/h (96 mph) First Drop Angle: 84 Degree Length 2403 m (7884 feet) Capac
