freaks76 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Anybody goin to Coasterstock this weekend expecting a major announcement is probably gonna be very disappointed. I would really hope there's not people going just for that reason. Very foolish thing to do. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If some of you guys are expecting an announcement this weekend, you'll be very disappointed. It'll definitely be in August because that's when 2017 season passes go on sale. Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Maybe they plan on removing less trees or it could even not open to 2018. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you know, a coaster that's not a giga, or something not a coaster at all. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryoj Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Diamondback would be kinda like a small giga. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Sure, but calling one "big" and the other "small" is a bit disingenuous, don't you think? Any giga coaster will be the largest ride in the park with the exception of The Beast. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The Eiffel Tower may disagree with you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 ^Sure, if you want to talk just height. A giga would take up far more land. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyano Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 ^Sure, if you want to talk just height. A giga would take up far more land. Drop Tower is taller by 1 foot i think if you want to be specific 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaverick Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I think both Drop Tower and Eiffel Tower are 315 ft tall which a giga could easily be taller than. Fury is 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 When I worked at KK, they were referred to as "the Coaster Cookees" we were warned that they were coming and to be careful with their questions they were going to ask.

CoasterKyle1121 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 What is this 360ft Coaster were speaking of? Ferrari World over in Europe is opening all kinds of things, and a 360 foot coaster is one of those things. I'm not sure if it's actually a long lasting coaster or if it's just a LTHB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
