While it seems this is another version of another coaster at the park, it still looks great. The second hills climb looks crazy in the POV...I wonder how tall the second drop is?

Reminds me a lot of millennium force. Giga drop, overbank, speed section, 180'hill, overbank (helix omitted), shorter hill, overbank, breaks. (Also it's blue )

0:38, the drop, and 0:58 look like amazing airtime spots, hopefully this actually has airtime unlike... Millenium Force.

They mentioned on BT it was 109 feet if I remember correctly.

[jazzimmWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

If this was made for another park, such as Knott's, where would you put it? It seems to fit pretty well where it is.

Exactly, where the overbanked hamerhead is placed, on the "island" with the trees...makes it seem too me also that it was meant too go here and not another park.

I agree completely. There is a very thin strip of grassy area that this fits perfectly on top of until it veers into the parking lot and to the front gate (which, again, fits perfectly into that grassy "island" area). Not to mention even where the station would be... everything fits like a glove. I mean, of course it went into the parking lot... where else would they fit a giga in that park? And turning around at the front gate? You know that had to be carefully planned.

Perhaps it's time for people to just admit that their "sources" about the Knotts thing were just wrong.

[Thom25Don't let this donkey melt you with its laser eyes!]

Boy, I am thrilled with another coaster especially one over 300 feet, but how underwhelming.

It honestly reminds me of Morgan's first Giga with SD2K, with no innovations, taking Behemoth and giga sizing it! I honestly expected a new lift for B&M or seats, and then when I saw the MTBR, wow!

There goes the thought that this will be the predecessor for CP's next coaster.

Congrats CW, this WILL be a great ride and addition to the park no doubt.

OH, one final point, boy were Gary Slade and Paul Ruben WRONG! Engineering marvel? The one ride to experience in 2012 (over a wing rider at Dollywood or the new train on Skyrush) - NOT (imho).

[the ghostIt all started with a donkey]

I am trying to decide if I like this or not... kinda similar to Behemoth... but maybe different enough... I just really don't see the point. Also, off topic the mods here RULE! I was about to give that dude a piece of my mind in this thread but his posts were deleted... not that it's hard to find stupid spammers/haters, but thanks for finding them so quickly!

Cool Awesome ride and congrats to B&M for building a 300+ft roller coaster! I'm excited for Wonderland doing well and building a new ride-a huge one but honestly I am disappointed!

I love B&M coasters but they are predictable with their designs. Wish they could be more daring and push the limits-even though that's not their style. A giga coaster could of been better made by Intamin. Canada's Wonderland lacks a good inverting coaster and would love to see one in the near future.

I am not disappointed in the ride itself because I believe in B&M. The pov and off ride animation looks amazing and can't wait to ride it... it's just that Wonderland could of made a better decision with a multi million roller coaster.

My personal opinion? Giga for CW- should of gone with Intamin.
To complement other rides, a launched coaster or multi inversion roller coaster would of been a better crowd pleaser.
If I had the right to make a decision for this new 2012 project I would of counseled about Multi Inversion Dive Machine

[Homeboy23Beware of the freeze-dried donkey!]

Going down a 300 foot drop with the restraints of a B&M Hyper train will be awesome with the freedom you have especially if you don't get stapled.

[odene497I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

B&M Giga! This looks so cool! Really looking forward to next year. It's nice that it's on the opposite side of the park from Behemoth to help balance the crowds. And so what if they're "similar". This will help Behemoth's line from being too too long, and Behemoth will help Leviathan's line from being totally ridiculous. Maybe. Either way, it's another awesome ride.
