Can't wait until announcement day so I can be like... I told you so!! Should we start a take bets forum? Or what about a heaters forum? Doubters forum? Should I keep going?......and so forth and so forth....on and on....

[Barbwire]

Haters forum? Sorry

[IsaacMcCalla]

Everything is getting really exiting

Okay, we know when the announcement will be, but when will the track begin showing up at the park?

There was a guess thread (which I have closed because enough evidence was getting out there that it was becoming unfair).

If you're right about it being more than 325 feet tall I'll be the first to very happily eat crow.

Well, we're pretty sure it's a B&M Giga. Maybe we should have a height guess thread since there seems to be a lot of opinions on the height.

How do we know it is B&M other than the report from over seas back in the winter? So far, no one has confirmed a giga track piece sighting at the plant.

300 ft, 310 ft, 325 ft..........I wonder, when you're riding something that freaking tall, if you can actually TELL the difference? Almost like when it's 0 degrees F outside. or minus 20......It's hard to tell the difference because they are both so cold.

^Heck, I can barely tell the height difference of Windseeker and Intimidator, but if the coaster is 325 like we're hoping it'll be, it would be a great way to market to the general public.

True - Carowinds has the tallest giga coaster in the W O R L D!

I mean, to think of all the huge parks across the world, and that 325 coaster end up at Carowinds.

Dear God! I can't wait another month and a half. It's MADDENING!

[IsaacMcCalla]

Yeah, that height is a big difference when marketing the coaster.

When it comes to coasters, everyone wants to ride the tallest or fastest. If you are a thrill seeker of course. Having the tallest traditional coaster in the world will make a difference in the fact that, people will come from all over to ride it. When you talk records, attendance goes up! When it comes to temps, I don't know of anyone that goes to a city for the record temps.

I don't know about small increments, but you can feel the difference in speed when riding I-305 vs I-232. So if our coaster is in fact 325, we will have a totally different ride experience from that of Intimidator. Would that be enough to lure KD fans, I think so because of the different manufacturer, assuming it is B&M?

Found this on Google. Anybody remember this from last years meeting with city council?
