    Yeah, as long as the trains are decently comfortable and it's smooth, alpenfury should pretty comfortably be the best coaster in the park. Leviathan is just too short to be anything but a bottom 2 giga imo, the 300 foot drop will still be the best element in the park, but outside of that levi doesn't do much. Striker is pretty much the same problem. Alpen also beats the other 2 pretty comfortably in terms of theming as well.

    Lived in Tampa all my life and (not including Sand Serpent aka Cheetah Chase), Scorpion was my first coaster in 6th grade for me which gave me the confidence to ride Montu and other coasters after! Sad so many of my childhood attractions at BGT are gone (Sand Serpent, Rhino Rally, Tidal Wave, and Katonga). Curious to see what's in the future for this area.

Men in Black: Alien Attack gets replaced by Resident Evil: Escape from Raccoon City (Instead of shooting aliens, You're shooting zombies) 5. The Secret life of Pets: Off the Leash replaces Fear Factory live stage 6. Kung Fu Panda: Unstoppable Awesomeness! added to DreamWorks Land 7. Skull Island: Reign of Kong replaced by Jurassic World Adventure (The Jurassic Park land will be renamed to the Lost World) 8. Animal Actors replaced by Sonic: The Ride 9. Bikini Bottom replaces Toon Lagoon 10. Lord of the Rings finally added to Epic Universe 11. Rise of the Creature of the Black Lagoon added to Epic Universe (A Jaws-like ride) 12. Skull Island: Reign of Kong transfers to the Amphitheater 13. Small Hogsmeade expansion 14. The Grinch Mount Crumpet Rollercoaster added to Seuss Landing 15. Hollywood Rip-Ride Rockit replaced by Battlestar Galactica: Human VS Cylon 16. Villain Con: Minion Blast replaced by Ben 10: Hero Time! 17.

    Lack of theming will be a big issue. Coasters who have set-piece first drops really need theming to enhance the element. The layout looks so bare without it.

    Of the three gigas I've ridden, rode Millennium Force most, Orion once, and Fury 11x on my first visit to Carowinds late this summer. I agree it is near perfect--great drop, great speed, great effects that don't beat you up but certainly don't lull you to sleep either. MForce is also excellent for the first drop, speed, and I really like how the first hill is so thin--just feels more daring. My one ride on Orion this spring seemed a lot more rough than I expected, so I downgrade for that. Certainly one ride is not a fair sample size, but in my experience with these three, I go 1) Fury, 2) MForce, 3) Orion. (Diamondback is by far my favorite coaster at KI for great drops, great air, and a great layout. Just isn't a giga.)

    Kumba before it got its rattle was a world-class coaster. Now even though it's easy to ride over and over I can only manage maybe three rides at most. If they could somehow fit the new style B&M trains to Kumba and re-track it. Riding that roller coaster with only a overhead lap bar would be the most insane ride on the planet

    Scorpion was my second looping coaster. Earlier that May 1988 day Python was my first. My sister and I used to hang out by the wall watching it go upside-down wondering if we would ever have the courage to experience it. We even watched our grandfather ride it once. I had my last ride on September 6, 2024. Very bittersweet and a ton of memories. Now the closest Schwarzkopf is in Atlanta. It's a couple of years older and rides a bit harder. The pacing isn't as good either; but it is fun. I sure hope what replaces it is worth it.
