Gargantua (Coaster Only) - For Track Length and Several Other Achievements

Description
Got a little carried away trying to get the 2500m coaster achievement, and ended up making a beast.

I present to you, GARGANTUA!

Gargantua should fulfill the requirements for all coaster achievements except for speed and drop height (use: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1752327543 for that).

The best thing about Gargantua is it's playable. Most achievement builds are a mess. Peeps will actually happily ride Gargantua.

Some Facts About This Bad Boy:
* Track length is 6104m
* Ride length is 375 seconds - a whopping 6+ minutes!
* Because of that, the station accommodates 4 trains with 9 cars each
* All turns other than special track pieces (loops, rolls, non-inverted) are exactly 22.5 degrees and only to the right
* Initially all drops other than special track pieces were 22.5 degrees. Unfortunately, I had to change a couple to accommodate for vertical g's.
* Utilizes at least one of every special track piece (note: right and left would be 2 pieces - so it might have, for example, a sidewinder left but not right)
* I included a nod to the inline twist glitch in the original RCT series with the slow moving inline twist roughly mid-ride (there is a second one at a much faster speed toward the end of the ride)
* 34 inversions
* 8 moments of air
* Took about 8 hours just for the track
* Cost is roughly $73,000 for the track alone

You could probably improve the excitement rating with some track smoothing and banking which I didn't bother with due to the length of the ride.
