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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted January 17, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted January 17, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

SonofBaconator Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 18, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
