King Ding Dong Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Nah, partner with SpaceX for some of their reusable rocket technology. Get some serious ejector air going on. 2 1
Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I mean I thought it would be a good idea. It's like LeBron coming back to the cavs. B&M rejoins Intamin and they make MONSTER coasters! lol 1
SonofBaconator Posted February 27, 2018 Author Posted February 27, 2018 Back on the topic of speculation, what about be the name/theme of the supposed giga? 1
Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I think the whole Centurion name would be awesome. How do you theme that tho. I like the name a lot. 1
sixohdieselrage Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Make Coasters Great Again? Or is that against the rules here But, I feel a Wright Brothers name would fit and be a nice homage to the Cincinnati/Dayton region. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 3

Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 This thread is always so of topic I forget! What did we say? haha 1

IndyGuy4KI Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 What if a ride has to be removed or relocated for the Giga. What ride do you think it would be? 2
Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Well dino alive was removed. Does this count? 1
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 4 minutes ago, Maverick44 said: Well dino alive was removed. Does this count? At this point we do not know that it was removed to make way for a Giga. So I would say still any existing ride that will operate in 2018. 1
SonofBaconator Posted February 27, 2018 Author Posted February 27, 2018 It honestly depends on where it'll go. The likely spot is X-Base/DA so if that's the case, nothing necessarily needs to be moved unless the maintenance buildings are in the way. If its in Action Zone, which I'm almost against, I could see Congo Falls biting the dust or getting relocated to Rivertown. Wolfpack could also be demolished for a new giga station but that's asking a lot since its so high off the ground. Heck it could go in Oktoberfest and the ladder game could get removed for an entrance. 1
Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 ^^ agreed. I whole heartedly hope the giga goes to X-base and nothing but maybe some building need to be removed or just moved somewhere else. 1

Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 ^^ Yeah I am not sure about a 1000' break run lol I still think X-base gets the giga. Its really the only area of the park that hasn't had a CF makeover. 1
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Has anyone look over to the SOB station while on Drop tower? There is little room there between The Bat and Banshee to access the SOB station. I could be wrong, but I personally do not see them reusing that station for a Giga or any other coaster. 2
Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 In typical CF fashion it will be used as a haunt attraction nothing more ever. 1

Maverick44 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Ahhh so similar. I hope that if they do go with B&M its some sort of new layout. Dang B&M cookie cutters lol 1 1
