Cool. Let's hope this is still just lapbars and not OTSRs as I really dislike the Intamin OTSRs (got to experience them last week on Storm Runner and Fahrenheit).

Great pics and thanks for the excellent detective work!!

Should be interesting and I am now I am really looking forward to the 2010 season.

Giga -- I think will simply mean over 300 feet tall.

This makes sense too as the rumors some folks have posted are that this coaster was to be taller than DZ and the Eiffel Tower.

Hopefully I will enjoy it as much as I do MF.
