A Giga WOW, can't wait to see it go up, I had mu suspicions as I saw the pictures of the giant foundations that were about to go down, that this is going to be big.

 

This would probably mean that SD2K will loose one of it's records...

[Airtime&Gravity]

Wow, I didn't see this coming as I figured Cedar Fair wanted to keep Millennium Force special. If this is indeed a giga coaster, then hopefully it is better than the two already around as neither coaster seems to have used all the capabilities they had. Steel Dragon is really long, but from the pov on the site, it seems rather tame. Millennium Force is tall just seems to be about speed, but not much else. Hopefully this coaster combines the best of both coasters into something truly great.

[Erik Johnson]

Oh wow, this came out of left field. Yes, I am very excited about this!

[jarmor]

 

I wonder who is gonna try to contact cliff dean lol...

[coasterdude28]

Great pictures pkd. Thanks for posting them.

 

This will definately be interesting to watch as it gets built and we learn more about it. The new track pieces look pretty cool.

[Clint Novak]

Im not seeing where it says Giga.. am I blind??

[HCLcoasters]

I can not believe I was actually correct.

[BamBam36]

I'm actually super excited about this coaster. As of right now KD is a for sure next year.

[GCS]

Yeah they just got me to renew my Season Pass, no doubt.

[atem122]

I am literally jizzing with excitement

[KDCOASTERFAN]

This is gonna be one sweet ride come next season.

[eddie200330]

This is gonna be one long thread come this season LMAO.

[Olsor]

My right brain is punching my left brain for thinking about the wisdom of Cedar Fair investing tens of millions of dollars on two rides when the chain's financial health isn't the greatest. Right brain says, "STOP THINKING ABOUT THE PARALLELS TO SIX FLAGS TEN YEARS AGO AND ENJOY NEW GARGANTUAN AIRTIME MACHINES!"

[jarmor]

If im not mistaken cedar fair didnt aquire paramount parks with debt?

[redfoot12]

Wow! I'm pretty stoked for this! Time to start losing some weight to make sure I can fit into whatever torture device they call a seat and restraining device...

[Clint Novak]

 

Super cool!! My home park!! Cant Believe it!!!

 

I did get some video of the park today.[/coastertube]

[KPfreak519]

I must say, as excited as I am for this coaster Im really sad to see Intamin's box-style track go. I always thought that stuff was so sexy

[HCLcoasters]

Well, I know I'm getting a season pass for next year.

[Capitalize]

Hell yeah... This is going to be awesome.

[Dietcokevan]

Whats with CF and red tracks lately? I already see a western theme Just hopefully this one will be good, I hear mix reviews about Millennium Force, I am still in shock that KD is getting this, it just doesn't seem the park to have a 300ft+ coaster, but it is now...

[HCLcoasters]

There is no such thing as a mixed review for MF.

 

It is insane.

 

Period.

[CPmaverick]

I think I know where I'm going next year. I just really hope it's not like Millennium Force, and more like Maverick. A combination of the two would be sweet!

^There's your mixed review
