I'm hoping Intamin has designed us a 200+ foot coaster that follows after the B&M hyper out-and-back design. 300+ foot would be even better, can you imagine a giga out-and-back coaster? Airgasm.

The support piece doesnt have to be one way. It can be like this...

vertical leg and angled leg

or like this...

The traditional "a" support

or...

a vertical support connected to another vertical support, holding up 2 sections of track...
Now explain this one lol...


i hope we get something like behemoth or nitro,not goliath.goliath is not fast enough for me!


You could still get a general idea of the layout by looking at the footers. The tack traveled over or between the footers because that's where the supports went up.

KD might also be getting a larger coaster, since you guys are getting a hyper (most likely) and KD IS getting a giga (one of the packing slips on a huge package of washers SAID [yes, actually said] "Giga Coaster") as someone already mentioned.

I don't think we have to worry about KD's new giga being better than Millennium Force though. Cedar Fair wouldn't do that to their home park would they? :roll:



Yes, I do think CF would do that.

Also, everyone says Carowinds is getting a B&M hyper because CF supposedly bought three from B&M, so this would be the thrid park to get it.

SOME of you guys posting lately really make me appreciate not having kids lol. KD's has a larger cleared area already than carowinds. Carowinds has only the log flume site cleared. Its pretty obvious that kd's site will be larger but some of you fan boys just dont want to come to terms with the fact another park is getting "in theory :lol: " a larger ride than carowinds in the same chain. I bet the park is sitting back saying "damnned if we dont, damnned if we do" to the reaction of some of you guys whining about something that you haven't seen a layout out of or know what kinda coaster it is in fact. For all we know (since its leaning to be a b&m) it could be a new designed or new train design or anything.

ANyway here is a video of kd's site. I had to turn the vol down after about 3 mins of listening to him but hey, thats just me...

yeah right...like they just go around telling regular folks how they decide what park gets what. Im sure its alot of factors in that decision. Like one, what the park already has, the crowd type, whats competition.

Ok...thats just like some random macho guy saying he is the best thing known to women (but doesnt have any one to chime in on that claim). That is a claim that kd has made for themselves...just like cook says they have the best (insert dish) ever made...

Thats just kd's version of pillow talk...
