Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think that the Kings Island giga should have a queue line similar to Maverick where it's almost like you are inside a building under a roof offering shade which would be great on hot and sunny days. They could theme the queue very well especially if they go with something along the lines of Xbase (like Power Force or something like that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has a lot of tools and cheats to make things easier/possible that aren't in the original game. Oh, I've used Open RCT2 and I love it. I don't remember if I've used a disk with it, but I'll try to play without one (However, I may have to re-install it as its files are in different places on my computer...) EDIT: So, I moved all the Open RCT2 files into the same folder and now it works!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlagroupie Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The Bat after dark is great! I got 2 Night Rides on it Sunday night and it ran great! My first ride on The Bat ever was at night this past weekend. It was freaking amazing! I was surprised by how fast it felt, I was honestly kinda scared lol. And the walk through the queue really helped with my step goal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 **Double Post** This is an area here that is in need of a major coaster or attraction. This is on the left side of FOF and this would be a nice area for an entry plaza and a giga station. All they have to do is bulldoze those mounds there to make this area flat and then construct. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Did someone say Giga? Ok, so I finally made my Giga creation... I was originally going to call it Colecanth, but that name seems too peaceful for this ride... so I now give you: Sea Predator! EDIT: Stats are as follows: 308 ft. Drop, Top Speed- 103 MPH, Ride Time, 2:55, 11.67 seconds of airtime, 8,879 ft of track No MCBR and yes that is a vertical drop! Also, for those who can't tell, the track is Dark Blue with Black Rails and Dark Brown supports... trains are Orange, Green and Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 ^^Thats a pretty neat concept. Where would you put it in the park? You guys probably know that I've been huge on the names Power Force and Steel Beast, this one is Power Force and here is the location I have which would require building some new maintenance buildings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'm actually not sure... I just made a Giga 'cause @IndyGuy4KI wanted to see our designs... Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it could be where Dinos was, the ride entrance being close to Firehawk's final turn/breakrun and lift going the direction of Action Theatre (like, the turn out of the station would go left and then up the lift) However, if they really wanted it to work, I think the best option would be to mirror my layout so that the "twisty" section is behind and to the right of Action Theatre (and therefore have a right turn out of the station).

SonofBaconator Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 @Hawaiian Coasters 325 I do not mean to ridicule your concepts but you should take a page out of @Thrill_Biscuit 's book instead of just using windows paint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I can't keep up sometimes, given the passion this community has for coaster innovations Sometimes I'll pull out PowerPoint, draw up a nice, 3D-looking thing, and by the time I post it, we've moved on to other areas; in those cases, Paint is your friend! @Hawaiian Coasters 325 your designs are pretty awesome, esp. the tunnel elements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we see a Giga in the back of the park, I think they will probably set up the station in a configuration close to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I made this idea for the empty plot of land between AE and FOF. This new area is an Xbase expansion. This would include a new grab and go restaurant, a seating area (like what Banshee's plaza has), the new Power Force giga coaster, a new Xbase entrance where the latter game is, and new theming on the ground. The old FOF picture area would be converted into restrooms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, doing something with the roofing on the side of the building. That to me could be changed to something more pleasing to the eye. I do like the mystery it creates by hiding IS and ET.

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Today's giga concept. It requires the removal of Congo Falls and Timberwolf. The name is Manatee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 "I wanna go faster mom" I also ready that they go only go up to 15 mph in short bursts. With an average speed of 5mph. So even slower! My concept of the day calls for the removal of BLSC. I give you "Firebolt". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Another Giga concept. Sky Force. Goes through the front of the park while keeping the human resources and other work buildings in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Yeah I think mainly I am just placing these is the locations we could see a giga in. I have no idea how tall / engineering factors play in. Haha If I did....I'd be working for a coaster mfg. Pay no attention to the sheer size or scale of my concepts. Mine are mainly for locations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
