  1. I agree you with the height here. The part thats kinda a bummer to me is ( based on others guestimates ) our giga will be over 1000' shorter in length. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  2. In those more recent construction pics, that valley looks like it goes down further than I thought. Like maybe it could have a 300' lift and still have a drop that's close to Fury. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  3. Again I feel this is s bad business model, to not ever let one park out do the other just because it's within a 4 hour drive of the other. They want more visitors everywhere not just at a select few parks. Doesn't make sense. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  4. Floorless giga. While that would be cool, I feel that would be a cop out and kind of a slap in the face of that was their major selling point on this. " Your all's giga will be 1200' shorter but....... You all get floorless trains! oOoOO!" Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  5. Not 100% sure, but I seriously doubt it Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  6. Based on the plans, unless Kings Island is going to have 2 B&M hypers, it's a giga. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  7. Hopefully if their going to go small scale on their giga coaster, KI will go all out on an RMC here in a few years. Steel Vengeance is quite possibly the best thing I've ever ridden. Or go crazy with a blitz coaster like Maverick. One of those two is def my #1. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  8. I305 is intense and mostly very low to the ground with very forceful banked turns and twists which is a completely different ride experience than than any of the other Gigas especially the B&M Gigas. This layout is nothing like that. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  9. My reservations about this ride aren't that it might only barely be over 300'. MF isn't much over 300' and it's an amazing ride. I'm much more concerned with it only barely being over 5000' in length. Leviathan ( while not a bad ride ) just feels incomplete when compared to Fury or MF. Like if they would have just added even one more good air time hill right there at the end instead of having a 400' break run 100 feet of the ground, it would make so much of a difference.

  10. It is getting a bit rough. I just mean I think it is a better ride imo. You get a ton of ejector air especially at the end you just don't have on DB at all. DB has some decent air time but you never really get that feeling that your going to fly out of your seat. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  11. Yes I agree. It doesn't make business sense to have 2 parks and say let's make one of them awesome and the other mediocre to make the other seem that much better. Makes more sense to me to just have 2 awesome parks. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  12. To be fair, I would take Magnum over DB any day of the week. ( Double post sorry ) Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  13. Even with an epic giga, Kings Island is not even close to being in a position to over take CP. Not to me anyway. KI is a 45 min drive for me while CP is roughly a 4 hour drive. I still go to Cedar Point multiple times a year whilst only visiting KI about every other year. A great giga would only increase my visits to KI not decrease my visits to CP Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  14. True to an extent. I completely understand them wanting CP to remain what it is and ahead of KI in terms of coasters. At the same time, Cedar Fair gets my money no matter which Park I visit. I can say ( for me at least ) that if KI were to get a massive giga with a great layout, I would start going to KI every year while continuing to go to CP every year. On the other hand, if they get a lack luster giga, I would probably just skip out on going to KI at all and still just continue to go to Cedar Point. I guess what I'm saying is I'm going to Cedar Point every year no matter what like I always do. Kings Island on the other hand doesn't have what it needs to consistently draw me in.

  15. Could the "5 is alive" be referring to this as the 5th giga in North America? Or was that already figured out? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  16. The only reason I'm saying giga on this layout of cause KI already has a hyper. Otherwise I would say this layout screams hyper. Too much straight sections of track Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  17. I want these prints to be fake so bad. I just don't think they are. [emoji19] . The guys reasoning for them being fake are kinda weak. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  18. Ok so if this layout measures 4600ft not accounting for ups and downs, could someone measure the layout of Diamondback before it's ups and downs. Maybe get s rough idea of how much distance the hills add? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  19. Personally this is the part that bums me out. I would give up a little height to make it a little longer. Hopefully it approches around 6000'. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  20. Well I for one don't believe KI will make their giga shorter than it's own hyper. Therefore, we won't have the shortest giga. I really was hoping for a length record. Maybe they could go for the giga with the steepest drop? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  21. The blue prints showed no inversions. Unless their making a wing or a floorless with no inversions or KI is interesting in a second B&M hyper ( there's just no way) it seems as though this is our giga. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  22. Could we get one with our "giga" layout vs Leviathans layout? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  23. I'm not necessarily saying we need a record breaker, but we have been waiting years for our Giga and it seems as though we're going to receive the " weakest" giga of the bunch. I'm really hoping they prove me wrong and do something epic with this layout, I'm just not seeing it with this layout though. Looks like we're getting an upgraded Diamondback. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  24. Honestly if that really is the layout, I hope it's not a giga. I would hate for KIs giga to be wasted on something so short and simplistic ( going off the layout alone ). I just don't know what else it could be. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  25. I'm here to try and figure out what this thing is. Seeing as how some already know what it is makes the decoding seem pointless Imo. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
