I think "giga" and "strata" is just Intamin's names for those models and not a coaster that is taller than # feet

I don't think it has to do with the track, I think the reason is the the metal holding the wheels bends as the trains goes through the track hundrets of times every day, and after some years some of the wheels doesn't even touch the track anymore...

I think you're right

Then it would look even more ridiculous, but it would probably be cool to ride...

I just hate that ugly net on each side of the track

VERY nice!!

They're cheaper and peolpe don't know they already exist somewhere else...

no Do you think that the end of the world will be on 06.06.06? lol

Happy New Year from Norway!! The time is now 01:50 here, here's some pics I took

Only 3 hours and 48 minutes till the year when SpeedMonster opens! 8)

I think Tornado feels like a B&M invert, except it's a little bit bumpy (doesn't really even affect the ride)

Intamin has a wide variety of coaster types. They have their problems, but they made my best coaster experiences

Since I finally found a way to share videos, I decided to give you my on-ride videos of Särkänniemi's Tornado and Halfpipe :mrgreen:

Oh that's right, I forgot... But have you been there? If so, what are their B&Ms like?
