Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

Construction is going slower on this project than other coasters in the past.

Because of this, I think this is going to be a small giga rather than a big one.

 

 

Or, you know, a coaster that's not a giga, or something not a coaster at all.

I think the "small" giga is I305, but even that is longer then most coasters. I personally can see it being any kind of coaster, but I'm pretty set that it is a coaster for now. I think whatever it is will be a wonderful ride and a welcome addition to the park,no matter what people will be dissapointed.

When we get a giga, I'd wager it won't be a small giga. It'll almost certainly be the tallest giga anywhere when built. If you are already going to spend $25-$30 million on a ride, why not spend a few more million to have the built in marketing and draw that would bring?

I mean maybe the tallest built in North America considering there is going to be a 360 footer going in over seas. Imo that is just going to be the shortest strata coaster considering it is just a smaller TTD. but you can't market it as the tallest giga coaster anymore.

I think they would just call it the tallest chain lift coaster, or tallest coaster without a launch.

I'm certainly not expecting a full announcement this weekend. But, I do expect that they will take the opportunity of having captive enthusiasts to tease the /heck/ out of us.

I expect at the very least we will have more to talk about in this thread than the state of Maverick or Mean Streak by next Monday!

A 360ft coaster will not be the shortest strata coaster. It's still not 400ft

I meant more by design. It is still the tallest giga coaster, but to me that is how I would see it.

Very helpful, indeed.

Can we get you some ice for that dryness?
