presto123 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm not overly concerned with the length if we can get record breaking height, but if these leaks are real, some part of me wonders why they would choose to go on the short side with all that freaking land to play with. Some parks would kill for that space. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are surely marketing folk who know of a roller coaster that is huge and in X-base. Accounting folk who know what money has been spent where. Who would have an exact diagram like that though? Why would they risk their career just to post that? I guess what I'm trying to say is this. What if no one actually was risking their career. What if this was meant to be "leaked" to get people talking. Could this have been the plan all along by marketing. Let's "leak" this pseudo boring layout to get people talking and mad that it's not the biggest baddest giga on the planet. Then when the alignment comes, we'll blow their minds. Many have already conceded that lawsuit is gospel and for sure what is coming. Maybe this is the plan. I don't know for sure. Maybe like a reverse of Mystic's shed... instead of causing overhype, we'll cause underhype... lol At any rate, can't wait to see the finished product. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that's sets the ride apart. I don't see why they'd just make a dissapointing Giga. I'd be willing to bet there's something else to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguyfromohio Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 For those who saw the “leak” the lift hill starts and ends here. Around 360ft. If standard 45° angle lift hill, the height of the first drop is looking at 360ft high, being 509ft in track length for the lift hill.So maybe it is bigger than we think, it’s hard to put things on paper unless having actual numbers. I remember seeing MT plans and it seemed really small, but it does go out and back a good distant. I’m excited to see what they have for us.

I can see supports and most are at a 45° angle, so that’ll give hill height, and I can calculate the entire track length.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatguyfromohio Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Should also add, fury appears to be a 32° angle lift hillIf ours maintains the 32° “so called” angle. Ours would only be 224ft tall(All measurements are off of google earth. And using map layover with the submitted “leaks”. Not stating anything is factual, just possibilities)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I’m kind of confused what you’re doing with that. Are you saying that Fury’s lift hill is only 32 degrees because of the flattened shadow it casts on the photo used on google earth? Or is there something I’m missing about your calcs? Because Fury’s lift is clearly not that shallow If that isn’t where you were going with this, I don’t understand where you are? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin22 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Is it the giga length everyone wanted? No. Is it still a giga coaster? Yes! Only a few parks in the world have a giga coaster and Kings Island is about to become one of the lucky few. Sure it might not break any records but that doesn’t mean it won’t be the best ride in the park. Who knows what kind of elements this ride will have. I don’t get how receiving a brand new 28+ million dollar coaster is a bad thing.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorner Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I don’t think anyone has said it’s a bad thing? I think people seem let down by the length, which is understandable because it looks pretty short for a giga. I’m still excited! After reading these 20+ pages last night, I dreamt about the new coaster, lol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryoj Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 For those trying to assume a 45 degree lift and are using the length, Fury's measures out at around 400 ft, and we know it's not 400 ft tall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFairFan787 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 These calculations are so confusing, and that's why I'm not trying. I just hope it will be tall and fast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubVLegend Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Wow!! That was intense.... LOL I pray it was Don or someone that got everyone this worked up.... that being said lets be honest. Does it really matter that its doesnt break every record??? Mystic Timbers didnt break records like that and is still one of the greatest rides ive had. A Giga will still have the huge drop everyone loves and the speeds and i dont think its length will bother you once riding it. And you never know with these guys there might be some surprises in store that will change your mind as well. Im still super excited to see what exactly is in store for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorner Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I’m pretty sure the video was created using the layout that leaked. I don’t think that’s a leaked official animation. I’m hoping the final design is like the one in the animation, it looks awesome 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the video is just a concept based off of the leaked layout. It is by no means the actual product or legitimate. Still cool though Just now, Coaster Critics said: How tall was this concept made? It looks to be at the 300 ft mark since it’s top speed is at 92 mph. The track is just over 5,000 ft long. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryoj Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 50 seconds from drop to break run. I'd say thats close though. Off a little here and there, but nothing too much other than that tall hill between the turn around and the helix won't be there though. 4 minutes ago, lifetimecoaster said: Well if that track laying around at Clermont starts turning blue, we'll know that the video is legit.... lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with us knowing that the station and transfer track are both single pieces, we pretty much know its not stadium seating. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I would prefer the stadium style but I think the 4 per row is more likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
