Do I smell a B&M hyper vs. Intamin mega/giga poll coming...

[Jay]

Hah, I will allow that, as a new thread in this forum. Someone else should make it though, if I were to make it it would only have one option...

[The Jet Coaster]

And that sole choice would be... INTAMIN!?

Excuse my naivety on designs, but what are the differences between Giga and Hyper?

One is taller than the other, can you guess which? HINT: Millenium Force @ CP is a GIGA and GOLIATH @ SFOG is a HYPER... its defined by the height of the roller coasters.... maybe this will help...

[jsz1002]

200+ ft height: hyper
300+ ft height: giga

[lily the walrus]

200+ ft height: hyper
300+ ft height: giga

so what is a "mega"?

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

200+ ft height: hyper
300+ ft height: giga

so what is a "mega"?

400ft+

[alecscrews]

200+ ft height: hyper
300+ ft height: giga

so what is a "mega"?

Isn't 400+ a strata coaster?

[Jonathan]

Mega is another term for hyper that some of the manufacturers use.

[drpeppa93]

Mega and Hyper are the same thing. Just as Jonathan said, different manufacturers call them one or the other but they both mean the same thing...
200ft-299ft

Giga = 300ft-399ft.
Strata = 400ft-499ft.

Then what will we call the inevitable 500ft coaster?
