  1. Erm...positive? Nowhere have I heard of a nice enjoyable ride on I305. Everyone says they're tossed around in their seat. >.<
  2. 1. X2 2. Cheetah Hunt 3.ISpeed 4. Maverick 5. Diamondback
  3. Ok question. You have a choice. Would you rather have; A. A Giga with no inversions with lap bars. or B. A Giga with inversions but OTSR (Remember I305?)
  4. Massachusetts anyone? All we have is Six Flags, which is in a really remote part of the state, and lil baby parks.
  5. Did I not say "Non-inverting?" >.
  6. Oh Breakers Express? For a second I thought we were talking about Breakers. hahaha but yeah Breakers is really bad.
  7. Doesn't seem very logical IMO to place only 1 inversion (or 2 including the top hat) just at the end of the ride.
  8. Whatever you do, don't stay at Breakers.
  9. Maybe a loop at the top hat, but that would cancel out any chance of Lap Bars (Much better than OTSR), and that would probably be the only loop, really dangerous to invert at such high speeds of Gigas.
  10. B&M if you haven't noticed, specializes in out and back non-inverting coasters. Only twister Hyper-Coaster that comes to mind is Raging Bull @ SFGA. All other Hypers are basically out and backs, so if they were to make a giga, it'd probably be...you guessed it! Out and back.
  11. I can almost 100% guarantee you the coaster will not be B&M, a total waste of money having 2 Out and Back coasters 100 feet apart made by the same company, and same elements for both rides.
  12. Well Giga just means 300 ft to 400 ft, so there are a lot of in betweens. But There arent many elements you can use when going 90 mph. It could possibly be a launched Giga, but it seems strange to do that if theyre not gonna try to beat out the records. cant wait till the 17th.
  13. Gigas are hit or misses when it comes to Airtime, Intensity, etc. Millennium Force front seat had absolutely zero airtime and very low intensity the first time I rode it. But when I rode it same place later in the day it was much better.
  14. Only The Incredible Hulk at UOS, but the friction wheels were made by a different company. Dive Machines are short but provide a load of airtime compared to Gigas (Comparing MF to Griffon). But thats just me. (Giga's are Hit or Misses)
  15. Hmm lets see. At SFGADV some tourists came up and asked us where Kingda Ka was. OMGLOL that was so funny.
  16. There aren't many Coaster Components you can use (well) when going 90 mph. Just sayin.
  17. Would you rather have 2 of the same coaster except 100 feet apart, or a Giga and say, a Dive Machine? or a Floorless? Or a Wingrider?
  18. CW could've payed 25 million for a Giga, and instead payed 50 million for both Giga and Hyper, and mostly the same people would ride both, so why not just pay once instead of twice?
  19. No but I mean Yeesh, you pay say 25 million for a Hyper, and 25 million for a Giga? Most people that ride a 200 foot coaster would ride a 300 foot coaster, as 200 ft is past the "Family" Barrier. So they kinda just blew 25 million. They could've saved 25 million and still gotten the same outcome. I mean YEESH.
  20. Using that logic, one could make the argument against building any new coaster in general. After all, every new coaster is, in essence, just a different variation of it's predecessors. I'm not saying "DONT BUILD A NEW COASTER." I'm just saying why choose the coaster type CW did.
  21. 3 actually (Dun forget SD2k) But it seems a bit odd, no?
  22. Actually, a coaster on the water would be kinda nice rofl.
  23. Not to be 'That Kid' but erm...I've never heard of a park that has both a Giga coaster AND a Hyper-Coaster. Not CP, not any SF. I mean, seems kind of strange to me. Giga Coasters and Hyper-Coasters are basically the same thing, except Gigas are about 100 feet taller. So why would you have 2 of the same ride, just 100 feet apart? And trying for a Strata seems kind of strange if it's not gonna top the charts, and I don't think it would be beneficial for a Canadian park to have such a huge ride with a lot less tourists compared to America. I'm just a little skeptical. Seeing the designs for "Skyrush", I think this is going to be a new type of coaster. But that's just me. Just seems a bit strange.
