i was talking about the thickness of the box beam, the larger area works similar to the Intamin quad rail, selfsupporting in places where placing supports are not practical.
Since Jeremy's coaster has a typical B&M box beam (as do all NL coasters) it would require the extra degree of support.
The idea behind the triangular frame at the base of the lift is to transmit the load along its length straight down to the ground. Since a fair proportion of the load on the lift will be transmitted along its length.
What Jer has done is this:
That creates a nasty bending moment in the red portion of the lift support, which would ultimately be the bit that fails.

Its time for a brief tour of my new ride..
The rides pretty much at the front of the park, coming in from the entrance you come across this view of the area:
Welcome to Darkwater Quarry Research Laboratories.
The ride entrance is located opposite the Immelman:
As you enter you have to go through the Security check, after all this is a secret government facility.. although it seems a bit abandoned for some reason..
Wondering through the queueline you come across a number of different scenes, including the staff changing rooms. Unfortunately it seems we cannot get to the Male toilets right now.
You'll have to go through the female toilets to eventually reach the male ones... now with added holes in the wall and bloodstained wall decorations.
After a couple more scenes you'll enter the first section of the Xenon Laboratory..
Notice the new viewing area of the toilets to the right. Lovely. Finally you'll get to the station area, aka the main laboratory:
This is where you clamber aboard the ride and do a whole load of crazy stuff.
Hope you guys enjoyed the tour!

Haha! Sorry bout that, I opened up the Reply page before you posted that pic, got half way through my post and ended up getting distracted for ages, before finally coming back to the post, and by that time you'd posted, otherwise I woulda commented 
Your turn looks real nice though, am liking the way its turning out. The exit hill from it looks a bit deformed though.

Yaay, time for another quick update from me!
I spent a couple of hours yesterday adding a lift motor:
aaaand:
No limits should do something about their crappy lift stairs.
One more picture:
Part of the queueline and something.. else..

Sorry for the double post, but I have started a new ride!
It is called Thrust SSC (Super Sonic Coaster,) which is the name of the fastest land vehicle, the Thrust SSC (Super Sonic Car)
I have just started, and it is an accelerator with a maximum height of 118 ft. and a top speed of 57 mph. Here is a pic of the newly completed norwegian loop (couldn't make it look like a pretzel though...)
Any suggestions to make it better would be great! Thanks!
