What will the second Giga-Coaster be?

In the world of Amusement and Theme Parks there's always that one-up-manship. Just look at Magnum, the years following its opening there where hypers popping up all over the place. But, who will be the recipent of the next giga-coaster, when will it be put in, and how tall will it be?

They actually haven't released any of the specs yet on that ride. But, I would imagine they would go for 300. Maybe 320?

I have seen the layout and so forth, but does anyone have pics or at least firm info on this ride (Spaland Giga)? I heard rumors that the whole project may be scrapped. Just rumors mind you...

The layout is boring with the exception of the overbank(s). It looks like every other Magnum cop-off coaster.

YEA THE LAYOUT DOES SUCK ITS JUST THERE AND BACK BUT IT WOULD STILL BE FUN TO RIDE BUT EVEN IF IT IS TALLER THAN THE MILLENNIUM FORCE I BET MILLENNIUM FORCE WILL BE FUNNER WITH THE OVERBANKED TURNS AND ALL

Who cares it is in Japan. Millennium Force will still be as good if not better even if it is not know as the tallest coaster in the world.

hey, maybe they don't want to release the exact dimensions becuase they originally thought it was going to be the tallest and fastest. So when they first planned it, it was going to be advertised as the tallest and fastest...but then Millennium Force was announced, and now they're embarassed becuase it's a few feet/mph slower than MF. So all they could do is say it is a big and fast coaster.

hmmm...I even made myself think here!

I'm fairly certain they all know what each other are doing. It's hard to keep secrets out there.

I built a decent verison of that coaster in RCT. It looks interesting. Basically, think Magnum, and magnify all the features by 1.5x.

However, that turnaround section looks sweet.

The coaster(spalish y2k) is not opening to next year AND it may not go over 300ft.

I don't know I thought the layout looked pretty good.

actually, I pictured it being MF with more hills. Look at the turn around...looks almost like what MF does on the island.

MF...taking thrills to new heights!

*Guess* The second INTAMIN giga-coaster will appear at Knott's Berry Farm. I suppose we'll eventually find out if it's a good guess . . .

I think that's a pretty good guess...
