Gannersdaddy Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Eh. Add a couple more and it becomes the Snake Den. Could work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I believe Copperhead is going to be the "speculated" GCI that Carowinds may be getting. Also why have 2 snake themed coasters in one park? Isn't a Diamondback worse than a Copperhead anyway? Wouldn't make sense for a giga, at least not too me. There are 2 types of Diamondback rattle snakes. The Eastern Diamondback and the Western Diamondback, but you are correct there are none in Ohio Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I never said that, I was replying to what SonofBaconator said about the Diamondback rattlesnake not being found in Ohio, yet we have a roller coaster named after it. I said there are 2 types of Diamondback rattlesnakes, the eastern and western species. He was correct that there aren’t any Diamondback rattlesnakes found in Ohio.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I hate to bust anyone's bubble, but I just got off windseeker and stared at the old dinosaurs alive area the whole time I was on it. I saw not one bulldozer, tractor or shovel over there. All I saw was dirt from the old dino dig area. Sorry no giga construction over there. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, however, EAB degrades the strength of the wood, likely making the tree shatter during removal. None of this was seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if they are going with Commando and painted all the heavy equipment in camouflage? I also question your super human ability to stare at one specific plot of land the whole time being locked in restraints traveling 360 degrees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbias1 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 rode WindSeeker as well today, and saw no retention walls, drainage piping, or clearing. Don't know where people are seeing this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Now back on the giga topic, I found this giga Planet Coaster concept of a giga in Xbase. I'm not a big fan of the name, it's more six flags. If ki we're to get a giga in Xbase, I would call it power force if I were them. This is imo one of the best Planet Coaster concepts.

QuantumMechanicsInMotion Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Well...although this doesn't confirm any future project in correspondence with a giga coaster, I did find this tailormade for the giga speculation that coaster enthusiasts have been raving about. There's construction taking place by Invertigo and Congo Falls. All credit and thanks goes to Wildcat Coasters from Youtube. Enjoy folks!

None of this was seen. I have watched dead ash trees get cut down and have yet to see any shatter. The situation becomes more dangerous the longer a dead tree is left standing. The vast majority of the trees in the Beast woods that were removed were either dead or were ash trees that were likely to die in the future. 31 minutes ago, QuantumMechanicsInMotion said: There's construction taking place by Invertigo and Congo Falls. A boom lift sitting next to the ride looks more like maintenance than construction to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I just thought of one possible snafu about putting a giga in the area most of you are going for. I wonder if Kings High School would have any issues with a giga heading out too far in that direction with noise concerns. There's also a bit of housing not too far from that either. The giga I envision (if KI gets one) would start in Action Zone and most likely involve removing Timberwolf, Congo Falls, or both for the station and queue area, and take it past The Bat and into the area around the greenhouse/old camp grounds, out behind GWL. They could also relocate the Blackout building and use that area for the station/queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I have heard rumors swirling around that this is the last season for Invertigo. If Invertigo were to leave, then congo falls will probably end up going as well.
