I still want to know how the park will market Diamondback if a giga comes: "The tallest/fastest/longest coaster in the world to feature a splashdown" *FYI did you know Ohio is the state with the most coasters over 200ft?* 6

MDMC01 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 ^ I feel like that award might go to Firehawk. Also, it could be Diamondback- the only hypercoaster in Ohio with Wing Seats! EDIT: On second thought, wouldn't it be awesome if there was a Giga with Wing Seats (like Diamondback/SkyRush), or even a Giga Wing Coaster? 1

MDMC01 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 True, true. Just think, the one dry ride that requires riders to remove their shoes! 1

Maverick44 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I just want something exciting and more aggressive. They have perfect "tweener" coasters. B&M is nice and all but sometimes just flat out boring. I want that Intamin Giga! =) 1

I would pick Diamondback over it ANY day, now maverick on the other hand... 4

WGSG, perhaps too easily impressed. 2
Maverick44 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I never said Diamond back was boring just to point that out. I said sometimes B&M's can be. 1

That's fine I'll wait that for an Intamin. Waited longer then that before. Have fun with your minivan! i'll take the corvette! All in good fun. I'd be happy with any giga at this point. Just fanboying out over here. 2
bengals fan Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 If they build a giga I will ride it no matter who builds it but I would prefer a nice blitz 3

Have not yet ridden Fury but I feel like that would be insane with all its twists and turns! EDIT: Also, RE: Diamondback being boring- that was one of the reasons that I didn't used to like Diamondback, but for some reason I enjoyed it more and more than I did in past seasons. It's still not my favorite coaster (The Bat (1993) is!), but it's climbing up the ranks... 1
SonofBaconator Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 I don't want the wing style seats on a giga because its unique to Diamondback. Plus single row trains are faster to load, imo 2

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Does anything ever come out of B&M vs. Intamin debates besides flames? Not trying to police what y'all talk about, but it seems like we hit up this subject every six months around here and never get anywhere constructive with it. Not to mention that in recent years, manufacturers like S&S and RMC have opened more rides in America than either B&M or Intamin... But that's just my two cents. 7

That would be nice, but the capacity would be less. I usually have to wait more for Diamondback than Banshee since Banshee's trains sit four across. If we get a giga, I want it to have the fury style trains since that would help the opening weekend craziness. I think passholder preview for this giga would be twice as worse than what it was for Mystic Timbers. It would probably be a seven hour wait. A friend of mine had to wait seven hours for Banshee on opening weekend. 1
