What is everyone predicting for the height? I'm assuming there is no way this tops MF in height, much less SD 2000.

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. Your response answered nothing.

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?

My apologies, I misunderstood your question. I agree that the more height the better.

It's cool. I, too, would love more height. I'm thinking Cedar Fair won't go higher than Millennium Force though. I'm expecting something between 305 and 310 feet to make it the 3rd tallest out and back coaster in the world.

So i guess the park wont be expanding in size after all. Darn

not as part of phase one

From http://m.bizjournals.com/charlotte/blog ... tml?r=full

- It’s that “giacoaster” — 310 to 315 feet tall — that’s expected to boost attendance. It would be only the third of its size in the U.S., and among five in the world...

So, likely 310-315 ft. Allegedly according to documents.

just to get a sense of scale, here is intimidators footprint in that area



also if you look at leviathans layout, I think it could fit the same way it does in wonderland, if your keeping the paladium, you will have to push it further out

Didn't you already ask this?

[Merthecat]

I say it will be about 312 feet. I do find it hard to believe that they will top MF, but I think that they will build something taller than i305 and leviathan.

300ft floorless, lets do it

How about a 300ft dive machine?

You know... I actually think this is a possibility. My money is still on something similar to Leviathan but I could see this happening. World's largest dive coaster.

I could see it too, but do you have any idea how mad that would make Busch Gardens? I think it would be safe to assume that it won't be a dive coaster, because that would no doubt tick them off.

Cedar Fair has no dive coasters in any of their parks. I would bet against a dive coaster.

Ummmm.... so.

Cedar Fair already stole the highest, fastest invert from them with Banshee. What difference would this make? It's called coaster wars and the only people who benefit from the carnage are coaster geeks! Bring it on.

A year and a half ago: Cedar Fair has no winged coasters in any of their parks. I would bet against a winged coaster.

I don't actually think it will be a dive coaster, but I think it's one of the more plausible possibilities for a ride that could be $30 million and 300 feet tall. Realistically, there aren't a whole lot of reasonable options out there.
