Randy Beaverhead: The Ride

I'm thinking of doing a B&M inverted coaster themed to Randy Beaverhead, a film character I made up. Here are the elements:

*Dip
*200 ft. lift hill (breaking Alpengeist's 195 ft. record)
*Pre-drop
*200 ft. drop
*Loop
*Tunnel
*Immelmann Loop
*Zero-G-Roll
*Cobra Roll
*Block Brake
*Loop
*Tunnel
*Corkscrew
*540 degree helix
*Final Brakes

The station, lift hill, and maintenance building are some stuff I want to point out. To the left of the train, there will be four "wanted" posters of the villain, Big Steve Hatchet. There will be a building above the maintenance building containing the lift hill and pre-drop. It will match the theming of Silverado, the setting for the film. Even the maintenance building will match the theming. The first tunnel will be in a two story bank, where Hatchet broke in and robbed. The ride will come out of the bank and to the immelmann.

One more thing, the immelmann loop will be one of the two near-miss moments of the coaster. The immelmann will nearly hit the queue, but it will not hit. The second near-miss moment will be when it comes out of the tunnel nearly colliding with a building which borders the queue.

I'll tell you guys more about it later.
