What if B&M were to use the elevator cable lift that Intamin uses on their Gigas.

The cable would break.

    Let me restate my last post. We are done with B&M vs Intamin.  It adds nothing to this thread. Any further posts will be removed.

  • To summarize the last 30 pages for those who don't want to read them: Intamin! No, B&m. No, Intamin. No B&M. But I reallllllllllllllllllly want an Intamin cause reasons. No, they break do

Cable lift hill with a backup chain just in case?

Why would it be a braking mechanism? Or did you mean break? If so....why would it break? 

Nah, partner with SpaceX for some of their reusable rocket technology.  Get some serious ejector air going on.  

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

I think the whole Centurion name would be awesome. How do you theme that tho. I like the name a lot.

Make Coasters Great Again? Or is that against the rules here [emoji14]

 

But, I feel a Wright Brothers name would fit and be a nice homage to the Cincinnati/Dayton region.

Back on the topic of speculation, what about be the name/theme of the supposed giga?

Nothing new to really talk about unfortunately. I think we've covered almost every possible aspect concerning a giga

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.

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. 

^^ 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.

B&m giga stations high off the ground along with the 1000' brake run.

So you are saying a 1/5 of the ride would be a brake run? Assuming it is similar in length to DB.

^^ 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.

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.

In typical CF fashion it will be used as a haunt attraction nothing more ever.

May have overexagerated but it is a fair distance.

Intamin might make giga cookie cutters too. We will never know since they only got to build one! :ph34r:

B&m = two cookie cutter giga

Intamin = two different giga.

Morgan = 1 giga

True I305 slipped my mind.

What about TTD and Kingda Ka. Would they be cookie cutter?
