Benjamin22 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 If this is really 275 ft I’m going to be slightly disappointed. A giga is a giga I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding the Z values didn't really change much. This time around, I dropped in an image of Fury, best one I could find perpendicular to the lift's crest. Using Google Maps, I estimate the distance between the two lift backbone footings to be 539' apart. Throwing this info into my model, and adjusting the crest to be 325' above zero, gives me an estimate of how much of the crest takes up the height. Dropping in an identical scaled image of Fury, but this time matching it up with the 40° lift and 81° drop of KI's coaster, gives me an estimated height right at 275'. I don't want to believe it, but my logic checks out, I think? If this new ride is to blow people away... think modern age... new era of giga... lift hill better be MUCH steeper than 40. Cut sq ft by steeper angles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind the convo at all. I’ve just seen in many different threads that the slightest misstep gets you reprimanded. I just find it odd that this has been pretty much unmoderated. It’s one of the things that leads me to think these leaks are not real. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like waisted space if they are extending it. Actually I think it's been suggested that FOF's outside queue will be removed and replaced with the FOF queue. Getting rid of the old outside queue would free up the path to Lil Giga. 8 minutes ago, ldhudsonjr said: Has anyone else considered that the leak was intentional? Not to throw us off, but to temper expectations? It came very shortly after everyone was talking about the plans and how this thing was gonna be a 380 ft tall record breaker. Maybe they wanted to calm things down before it got completely out of hand. That was brought up pretty quickly. The plans are too detailed for a fake. If it's fake, it's an internal fake. 4 minutes ago, ohiocoasterfan said: I do find it odd that the moderators have let this board turn into a complete sh*t show and haven’t been removing things out of respect for the park I.e@anonpirate is still active, these leaked images are all over the place... I don't think they've been on. They deleted a lot of the stuff posted yesterday and made a statement. But as fast as this is moving, moderation is almost impossible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I know I said this like 30 pages ago, but since we do not know the source of the blueprints drawing we will not be hosting it on KIC. Please do not post it again. Thank you. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerX Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Don't forget. For early stages of construction for "secret" projects drawings are often drawn as "complete", then updated later to reveal more and more of the project. A lot of workers get to see these and its expected that they will leak. So only in the know, critical designers, engineers and approvers see the true completed project this early. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
