hahahahha! Yea the transitions are nuts, the only thing I didnt like is the trims are now on that one hop... they were not there a few years ago, I guess because of the trims on the drop? Really though, I dont really know how much difference in speed it really was, didn't seem that much. Definitely the most insane ride I have been on... Can only handle like 6 times in a row on this thing lol

haha good layout. I think the field might be a possibility but I think it will turn around towards the paladium and the entry plaza,but thats just my guess. Your layout is defiitely possible, even if it didnt go out to the field and just went out towards the highway, I could see that I suppose. Thats definited a LONG right, would have to have a lot of speed to get through it :D I will try to make up a layout myself eventually. I really wish my no limits skills were better hahahah. Maybe I will just wait for theme park studio and see what I can come up with. Very good idea merthecat

Well, MS Paint isn't exactly the best for drawing a roller coaster layout.

It would basically be the same coaster as intimidator but different layout and taller


You just proved the opposite of your argument!??

It would be taller, likely longer, faster, have a different layout, different style cars and seating.
Other than being a B&M Out and Back Coaster, it would literally be nothing like Intimidator.

I, Personally, would prefer to get an intamin Millenniun Force style coaster. But I'd definitely not object to a Leviathan-ish one. So long as its unique to carowinds in layout, with more turns in addition to the camelbacks. And if it had to be intamin, I'd want something different than another I-305. But that's just ny taste.

It has been confirmed that it will be atleast 70ft taller than intimidator. That puts it in the "giga coaster zone."

I'm fully aware it's a giga. If I wasn't, I can read the title of this thread.

Let me try this again. Do we get the I305 treatment (just shy of MF) or do people actually think we surpass MF or even SD2000?
