I'm sure it was just easier for him to ask rather than look through 65 pages of posts for his answer. LOL

Actually it was lol.

 

Thanks for the answers!!

That drop looks amazing.

I went today and the drop had another piece of track so only a few more and the drop will be finished. It looks so insane from the other side of the park.

OK, I gotta admit, that last pic gave me giddiness.

I love the idea that TxGiant could be a coaster that could be in my top 10 wood and top 10 steel lists (although not at the same time - TG hasn't been in my top 10 wood for awhile now, even though it was #1 in 1990)

That first drop looks insane!

[Funky Cold Medina]

You know looking at it sometimes, I keep forgetting it's a wooden coaster, and for some reason keep thinking it's just a very over supported steel coaster.

[triggernel]

Almost a little like California Screamin'

But it isn't a wood coaster, it's exactly the second thing you said!

I agree! It looks really steep!

[KDcoasterMAN]

^ It's a good thing this ride isn't being redone by Intamin... They'd probably put trim brakes on that first drop!!!

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

^Sad but true, my friend. Sad but true.

[CoasterPrince]

That first drop looks illegal.

[ECZenith]

Wow at the first drop. Please let Ghostirder be the next "re-do"...

[coast4airtime]

Gonna be steeper than El Toro, yes, gonna be better than El Toro.....NEVER!!!

[andyuk200523]

Looks very impressive so far....

 

 

.....lets just hope it isn't rough! Cause that would be an expensive mistake!

[texcoaster]

Firstly: if you can make such a claim (won't be better than El Toro) about a coaster that isn't built yet, the full profile not yet known, made with a track system not ever used before, then you're just basically saying "hey, look at me! I make speculations out of thin air based on fanboy bias!"

 

Secondly: Why compare them at all? El Toro is wood, TxGiant is steel. It seems more apropos to compare TxGiant to Magnum --- AFTER you've ridden both of them, of course.

[Funky Cold Medina]

^And hopefully TG will be better than Magnum

[coastercrazy216]

OH MY GOD.... it is so beautiful!!!!

[knottslover77]

I would cry in sadness.

Texas Giant will be better than Magnum.

[Converging]

This by far the most intriqueing upgrade of the recent trend and judging from what I've seen so far; it's fairly obvious that El Toro quality is the ambition of this project--especially with that drop!

[MagiMountainMan]

^And hopefully TG will be better than Magnum

 

Texas Giant will be better than Magnum.

 

LOL!!! I can't believe you know this already. You must have psychic abilities.

[Funky Cold Medina]

^Well considering the fact that Magnum isn't exactly the greatest coaster ever, and it doesn't take much to beat it, I'm sure that's why he said it [/pedantic]

[MagiMountainMan]

^LMAO Its your opinion that Magnum isnt very good and how does he know TG is going to be better? Pretty bold statement.

[Funky Cold Medina]

Joke buddy. Joke
