Maverick44 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Introducing "Venom" the next installment of my giga series. It comes with a new midway section and the area for games / food between AE and Venom. 2
JubJester Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 The track being the color black on some of these makes me think what the general public would say. They already think Diamondback's black seats are going feel like lava on hot days, despite many other rides in the park having black seats too. Would they think the track would melt with a black colored track? 2 3
Maverick44 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Well BLSC has black track. I hope they don't think that track is melting? 1 2
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 @Maverick44 I like that placement and the midway that goes all the way to Xbase! 3
Maverick44 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 I like that as well haha More options for food or games or shops. It also gives that TTD feel where passers by can see the station / loading. 1

Maverick44 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Yeah restrooms for sure! Maybe connect the restrooms to the FoF building between the giga and fof. They could also renovate the old picture station for fof into restrooms. 1
SonofBaconator Posted May 9, 2018 Author Posted May 9, 2018 Changing the direction a little bit, do you guys think X-Base will always be a dead end or will the park add another path? 2
Codyfryguy Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 I would hope X-Base would eventually get an expansion.. if they were to expand that space would have so much more potential Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1
Maverick44 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 I honestly think they will add on to the path and wrap it through old DA area to connect a giga / CM. 2

SonofBaconator Posted May 9, 2018 Author Posted May 9, 2018 I want a coaster that you can walk around entirely- one thats surrounded by walkways where the coaster interacts with pathways and guests. Think Blue Fire- notice the surrounding pathways. I don't know if those paths are part if the que or what but I bet it provides an awesome viewpoint for guests. 2
Maverick44 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Hey I would LOVE to have a coaster like that in the DA area and have the paths all around. Give me something more like Taron! Haha Intamin all day! I will say that Mack looks pretty fun though! 1

I only get on here every now and then and try to have friendly dialogue but get told to shut up when trying to convey a different opinion than someone else. Guess I should find a new forum to visit. 1 1

In my opinion, it looks like I305 track. Probably not for KI though since CF doesn't work with Intamin anymore. (Not starting any B&M vs Intamin things.) 1
silver2005 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Intamin ships their track in containers. That might be Premier or Vekoma track instead, maybe even Maurer. 1

Tera Ryzing Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 It was a few months ago. That track is not at KI. Has CF even worked with Premier. Personally I don't like Premier. 1
Creed Bratton Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 The last rides that Premier built that are in a Cedar Fair park are the Backlot Stunt Coaster clones. 1

MDMC01 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 WOW, what a long thread we've got here! Personally, I'd love to see a floorless at the park, but I do think a giga may be next. I also see Invertigo leaving us within the next 5-10 years. If it's true that the rest of the parks' Dinos while be phased out due to contracts expiring, then I'm really glad I'm going to Cedar Point in just 4 days! I wanted to go through Dinos last time I was there, but didn't get a chance. Also, really looking forward to Wicked Twister, Rougarou, Valvravn, Maverick and of course Steel Vengeance (if it's open...). Finally, more on topic, I have/had a giga idea, but my RCT2 disk has a crack in it, so it could be a while until I make a Giga creation (yes, I could draw it up, but it wouldn't be as cool). When Brad mentioned that he wanted to see more designs a couple dozen of pages ago, I immediately thought of calling it Coelecanth (after the song by Deitiphobia) and making it blue and low to the ground(ish). This isn't necessarily what I want for KI, but just an idea (if we're talking KI I'd love to see "Stealth" (now known as Nighthawk at Carowinds) colors or Orange track, lime green supports). 2

Maverick44 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Of course I think a giga would look real nice anywhere in KI lol I wonder where I can fit one today. 1
