It’s absolutely fake. “Beast unleashed” was a concept video that went viral last year, a lot of people thought it was a real teaser. Also, say that person’s name out loud. What did that sound like? It’s a prank name. It’s a troll post. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiisgreat Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Wow! I was just on Carowinds Connection (because I was bored), and while this is slightly older, people were being very critical about Kings Island’s giga. Some were even happy it was “bad.” On another thread, people commented that it will cost the chain 15 million, which is half of Fury’s cost. I am not throwing shade at their forum, but I feel like they are misinformed.

shizzzon Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yea, he knows people on the development team.... let us guess, they all have youtube channels and the only way to talk to them is to leave a thumbs up or down after each comment? The creator of that concept is a beast yes but seriously... 380ft, 108mph... etc. If that were real, I'll buy the first 5 of you all Fast Lane plus passes to those that meet me next year to ride it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Unleashed is a fan concept video a member of this forum made. @RuthlessAirtime.

None of us were really trashing the ride, that comment made by coasterbruh was more of a critique of the enthusiast mindset that if something doesn’t tick all the right boxes for coaster nerds, that it’s somehow a bad investment. No one wants the ride to be bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah everyone was complaining about the layout back then, but these people on Carowinds Connection did not have to celebrate when they thought our giga was going to be trash. I think that our giga looks pretty amazing to be honest. Whether it is better than Fury 325, who knows? I honestly think it has a chance because some elements on our giga look to be better than any of the elements on Fury 325 in my opinion. The massive over-banked turn and ejector speed hill look absolutely amazing! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I misinterpreting that? Traditionally, the “topping off” of a roller coaster refers to the installation of the highest piece of track. So in this case it would refer to the peak of the lift hill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that seemed way too soon for the track to be finished, I know Banshee took a lot longer than that at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 So do you think they'll project the announcement on the FOF building? Probably the hanger like portion that has the red doors? I see enough room there for a stage to be set up and the video played above it on the wall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
