The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Plus insisting it's a giga, but then suggesting a loop. Gigas don't have loops. 2
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Ok then the B&M Giga I am so convinced is going in SoB's old spot, is not going to have a loop. Just wishfull thinking on my part I am going to look silly if this is a dive coaster or anything else.
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 ^ or not a coaster at all. I wouldn't mind it not being a coaster actually, I would love for Kings Island to have the world's largest dark ride. 1
TheBEASTunchained Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Wow, looping giga coasters.....Whats next a looping giga coaster that corkscrews through the water...... I'm guessing someone will suggest it soon.....
TheCrypt Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 I am going to look silly if this is a dive coaster or anything else. I dunno. A black, looping giga coaster in Son of Beast's old spot named Banshee makes you look pretty silly as is. 3
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Like a looping wooden hyper coaster? Someone had to suggest that. Hypers are in the 200'' range, a 200ft+ coaster that has a loop is no longer a hyper coaster. That gets confusing.
The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 And the sad thing is, had Son of Beast been a more normal size, it'd almost certainly be operating today. See also: Tomb Raider: The Ride aka The Crypt. 2
Jayblazer Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 What will we call the first 300 foot tall looping coaster? You guys clearly know better then I. I had always assumed the title "GIGA" refered to the hight of the first hill and not the layout of the coaster.. 2

See also: Tomb Raider: The ride aka The Crypt.I wouldn't want it any other way. I am glad to have experienced both of those rides. Well I guess the Top Spin didn't have to be giant, the theming did however. Edited May 22, 2013 by DontWantToWait42mar0 1
Jayblazer Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Wow I have been digging around and, is there no coasters with a drop more then 200 feet and inversions?
shark6495 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 bigger isnt always better... referring back to the topic of a page ago. You cant claim Invertigo as an "everyman" coaster since it does a loop. I think when a coaster does a loop, extreme Gs, or extreme speed/height then it no longer falls into the category as Everyman. Invertigo does the loop/up side down moment. Since when do we judge a coaster's line as the level of popularity. C'mon KIC I know we are better than this... 4
THE_BEASTmaster Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 My bad, just voicing my opinnion. I'm stumped for what color it is going to be though. I could care less what the color of the ride is as long as it's a good ride. 1

The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Smart guy! Knowing when and how to intercede is half the battle in life. 11
stashua123 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 This thread has as much viewers as the old SOB Removed thread! I personally think that it will proably be a B&M coaster something along the lines of Leviathan but with its own unique touch. But we dont even know what there building yet! So I'm going to not predict the next ride until I see more signs other than rebar and footers and survey sticks. 3
Shawn Meyer Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 I'm hoping this is a Dive machine! It would be cool to see something Ohio doesn't have. I mean I wouldn't mind seeing a Giga, but wouldn't that kill Diamondback's line drastically? That's my only concern. 1

I could care less what the color of the ride is as long as it's a good ride. See I completely disagree. Leviathan looks (havent ridden it) like a very fun and amazing ride, but its colors are just absolutely horrible. I like Diamondbacks and Behemoths colors a lot. 1
The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Steel Force: So impressive when it's red...so silly looking when it invariably fades to pink. 1

homestar92 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 ^ it's not, it's just that we don't know anything about this ride, let alone if it is a rollercoaster. If it is a rollercoaster (which I think it is ) the color would change based on the type of ride which we don't know, Evan if we did its still pretty early to talk colors. Edit: I was responding to the originial comment about color and taboo but of course as soon as I hit send then the sight shows me the 3 posts after that Hate to bring up an old point of discussion, but I don't really think the type of ride impacts the color a great deal. Oh, wait. It's a Cedar Fair ride. So one thing's for sure. If it IS a coaster, it will most definitely be light blue. Were this being built two years ago, it would almost certainly be red. Just my $0.02 on the color debate. Now for the ride/attraction itself, we know one thing about it. Considering where it's being built, Cedar Fair wants to impress the heck out of us so we forget ol' what's-his-face that used to live there. And when they had to take out another significant failure (The Bat), they graced us with the ride that, in my humble opinion, is the finest steel coaster to have ever graced us with its presence. Others, I'm sure will disagree, but as you can safely guess by my avatar, Vortex and Flight Deck (both products that are directly related to The Bat in some way) are among my favorite coasters ever. In fact the only ride I've ever ridden that I enjoy more than Vortex is made of wood, and stands 110 feet tall and just a few dozen yards directly south of my beloved Vortex. 8
