Exactly that’s what I don’t understand. The point in a giga is to be bigger and better than the last. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Because the track would collide with its self.... when you go on a loop you aren’t going straight, you’re slightly shifting either left or right, since there’s straight sections it’s safe to say there’s no loops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yeah, I guess that’s right. I realized it after I asked. There could potentially be in-line rolls but at the speeds of a giga I think those probably wouldn’t be very fun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Fair is turning Carowinds into a resort destination (with the addition of the hotel) and in one of their recent conference calls (too lazy at the moment to track down the exact one) they stated their intention to continue to heavily promote Fury 325 and Steel Vengeance. Why would you, as a company, "steal the thunder" of the flagship ride of a park that Cedar Fair is trying to turn into a resort? That being said, I am hoping we at least get a longer ride than Fury. That is not looking likely though if those blueprints are real. Expand I agree with this. I will reserve judgement for when we see an official announcement, but I somewhat doubt Cedar Fair would compete between different parks like that. I kinda wish they were owned by different entities so they'd compete more. Then again, how many years of record-holding status do you really need a coaster to have? When is it time for it to relinquish the crown? Also, why build another giga if you're not gonna up the record? I eagerly await the stats from an announcement 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We don’t. It’s an educated guess based upon the cost of the other two B&M gigas.

silver2005 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'd be psyched if we got a zig zag pattern on the blueprints as that would mean a non-inverted loop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin22 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I guess this blueprint can be quickly proved fake if the clearing keep growing significantly. But I don’t think that’s going to be all that likely as of now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocoasterfan Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 If you look at the leaked map and the contour lines, there is a 40-50 foot drop in gradient from the station. That is assuming each line is a 10 foot interval. I also count at least 12 elements in the small print written alongside the track. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissfan4 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 So again, lets go with what we know, and speculate on what they could add to make it record breaking/special. What if it is a launched coaster (think lightning rod at dollywood, just steel) with possibly a record breaking speed, and maybe 5 inversions? "5 is alive"? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterMegRN Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm gonna say it again, is it possible the leaked docs were just one of the ideas they had for Project X and is maybe not the final version? It seems odd, if it is a giga, that it would be so short. (It looks about the same length as Diamondback to me...could be wrong). It also seems strange that the original poster would leak them, delete them and then openly tell people they signed an NDA.
