Kings Dominion to get a Giga coaster

Take a look at the pictures from TPR. I wonder what type of layout this thing is going to have. I am hoping that this is an airtime machine, and not a speed monster like MF is.

Can we say bankruptcy?  I guess this could be a home run for them but I just can't see Cedar Fair's thinking right now. This has the old Six Flags regime written all over it.

edit:  I should probably add that I'll still be one of the first in line lol.  This is awesome!

 I think they can afford something like this in one Park, but it probably will cost other Park's in the Chain.

 As long as Cedar Fair doesn't rip out half their rides and shows at Cedar Point, they'll be ok. Kings Dominion needs a new big signature coaster, so did Kings Island. Volcano is over 10 years old now and Hypersonic had Time Warner written all over it, no surprise it's already gone. IJSC was a nice new family coaster, and it's been a while since KD has gotten a new GOOD coaster, or one that doesn't bang me around. Hopefully Shockwave can last a few more seasons, but Anaconda is probably as the end of its course.

Hopefully CF only orders some shade trees for their local establishment for 2010.

I love it but I wanna ask Dick Kinzel "Why?"

If the cards are right, and it is MF with a SROS layout, this could be possibly the best coaster on the planet, and im not bluffing.

Notice the track looks a bit different...

It may be the best Intamin on the planet, but definitely not the best coaster. The loose, out of control feel of wood pwns the tight, stapled, controlled feel of steel.

Sounds pretty neat.


Intamin rhymes with win for a reason!
