Roller Coasters Giant Dipper, San Diego (recreation/exaggeration)

[eggory]

Hello everyone! For my first major project in Planet Coaster I am creating a blueprint heavily based on the Giant Dipper located at Belmont Park in San Diego, California. It's a fun beach-side coaster with a neat double out-and-back layout. For the sake of game-play I've exaggerated a few elements of the ride, including a slight height increase for the first drop and a redesign of the third turnaround.

With regards to the architecture, I'm trying to decide between a Victorian-style Boardwalk theme or a more Generic shack-type design. I'm on the fence about which one I like more. Let me know which one you like more (if any).

Looking for critiques/any thoughts on what I've made so far.

That's a great-looking coaster and I think your elegant white buildings fit it perfectly.

Looks gorgeous! Too bad we can't paint the supports white yet. Hopefully they'll fix that eventually.

Heheh you could make your own custom wooden supports! Then you could paint them white!

Beautiful ride. I absolutely love the string lights along the rails. Makes it really stand out.

I, too, made a coaster inspired by the Giant Dipper, but yours is much more accurate. Nice job. Gorgeous station too!

very nice lighting [up] I wish there was an option for automatic placement of lights along tracks like that

I can proudly say that I have personally ridden the real life version of this coaster many times! Awesome to see something coming from my neck of the woods.
