As much as I would love to see a 300 ft. tall wing I doubt it because why would Cedar Fair just open a world record breaking wing coaster at CP and just completely ruin gatekeeper's reputation by making a bigger one at one of their own parks . To me it just wouldn't make sense of why Cedar Fair would do that to one of their own parks.

Yeah, especially if Cedar Point is supposed to be the flagship park, I wouldn't count on a 300 ft. winged coaster.

I don't need it to be a wing but that's what I'm seeing. I just want whatever to get here already.

[Matt929]

I agree. I'm fine with any coaster 300 ft. tall.

[redrunner97]

A standard 300+ Giga is not "WORLD RECORD BREAKING" in any way, shape, or form.

I geninunely believe this will be the tallest Wing Coaster in the World. Cedar Fair politics aside, that's looking more and more like what we are gonna be getting.

(although my preferance would be something else... So clearly I'm not being clouded by wishful thinking, it's just what the evidence stacks up to be in my eyes...)

[Edwardo]

A 300' Giga that's longer than SD2K IS record breaking. World record breaking. Just saying.

[redrunner97]

Well, the tallest green coaster would be record breaking too...

That's just incredibly specific. "The fastest coaster over 300 feet"...

That would be hard to sell to the public. Imo.

Well, we have 27 days until we have a clue about what the new coaster is.

[coasterfreak]

My turn for crazy speculating!! With the way Rocky Mountain Coasters are popping out these insane coasters, I don't think it's totally unreasonable to rule out that this record that Carowinds is gonna grab could be the tallest woodie. Now that the new renderings of Goliath at Great America have been released featuring the I-305 style steel lift structure, I could see RMC hitting the 300'+ mark with little difficulty.

Here's one of the renderings.

Maybe so, maybe not. Thoughts?

[tylerSC]

Is that RMC coaster one of those newer hybrid coasters made of both wood and steel?


Wonder when preliminary foundation work will begin this year, and when steel track will begin to show up at the park? I guess the official announcement will be sometime in August.

[redrunner97]

B&M is building it, so that's not possible.

That is what the (German?, I believe) report said. That B&M was gonna be building the Carowinds coaster.

Well, we have 27 days until we have a clue about what the new coaster is.

And why 27 days

The park opens for the 2014 season. Maybe if we see the ground work for the coaster, we might have an idea about what will be coming.

Tallest green coaster isn't anymore a niche, specific record than tallest wing coaster.

Longest coaster in the world is a real record. I'm not saying that's it but y'all are setting yourselves up for disappointment.

Just like KI's Giga that ended up being an invert.

[chknwing]

I seriously doubt any ground work has been done regarding a new coaster. They are still working on Skyflyer, then they gotta start pouring footers for the new slides etc. My guess it will be atleast June or July before you start to see anything.

Does this mean you know what the coaster is?

What? They cant have multiple construction projects on going on.
