    Gigas are some of the most beloved Coasters out there. Whenever someone is asked about a dream coaster at their home park 9/9 times they're gonna say a giga. But sadly, I think the Giga is on its way out, and in this video we dive into why...

      I noticed they have purchased most of their coasters from manufacturers based in EU countries. Rather unfortunately, B&M is based in Switzerland, not Liechtenstein like Intamin. The only big exception to this is Zadra, which was made by RMC, who is based in USA. The only thing I can say to explain it is that the US is a EU ally, but so is Switzerland through many deals, so idk.

    The term “giga” “hyper” “mega” and “strata” has no meaning outside the USA as everywhere else uses the metric system and the height marks for all those categories are quite arbitrary when converted to meters and don’t make sense.

    • @finn.linn.1250
      @finn.linn.1250 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Exactly, that is why Hyperion is under 300ft or 91 meters. It simply makes no sense and the only possible milestone thet would attract guests would be 100 meters. But would you trust Intamin building that after the flop of Intimidator 305? Anyways I rode hyperion front and back and can confirm it, as well as Zadra, is amazing.

    The only park I could see a b&m giga going to is dorney park. I know that sounds dumb but just listen. There's a lot of people nearby, great adventure and hershey are both around 90 minutes away. I also remember seeing in an airtime thrills video that they were almost as profitable as cga so it has a lot of potential. I doubt they have the space though, they're surrounded by other stuff, but they could probably fit one in if they wanted to

    • @cryptic4762
      @cryptic4762 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd say Hershey Park and Kennywood are more likely before Dorney. The state on PA has a height restriction on all rides with permits needed for anything over 200ft. Both of these parks already got permits. But realistically, Dollywood is the only park left that has potential for a giga. And it's great because the mountainside can help them avoid the height limit. Similar to Wild eage, the hill can be on the mountain and not go too far above the skyline. Similar experience to Phantom's Revenge and Orion. The drop classifies it has hyper/giga respectively

    • @jonathanfrancesco3305

I also do not think Dorney has room for a Giga right now unless they scrap Steel Force down the line. (And honestly, I think they're gonna ride that one until the wheels fall off. lol) Besides, Dorney will take anything they can get right now. lol And I think they're going to get their new wooden and probably another inverty coaster long before a giga is even in the convo.

    @mattsnyder4754 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There’s only 2 reasons why a park would build a giga.
    Reason 1 is to try and get some attention in the “tallest/fastest” category. That’s a silly choice because A) Stratacoasters are a thing and B) i305 taught us that no matter what you build, it HAS to appeal to the GP.
    Reason 2 is because you need that kind of momentum to pull off later ride elements. This is also, at this point, silly. LIMs and other launches are becoming so cost-effective and reliable that if anyone nowadays needs 90mph of speed, they’re much better off doing it with a launch. They take up less space. They’re infinitely cheaper and easier to construct.
    At the end of the day. If you need to be tall, you probably aren’t building a giga. And if you need to be fast, you’re probably doing it with a launch.

    Not a fanboy, but RMC absolutely changed the industry. After the 90s/00s coaster wars that were all about breaking records, RMC proved that bigger doesn't mean better and other manufacturers started following suit. I don't think there's any going back now. Parks know that they don't have to spend $30 million on a giga to get a crowd favorite that will keep people coming back for more. Breaking records just for the sake of breaking them doesn't bring the return on investment.

    Honestly I’m all for this. Personally, even though I do enjoy traditional gigas they get old really quickly. As someone who would regularly attend Carowinds growing up I remember thinking that fury wasn’t that much different from intimidator (the hyper that they built a few years before) other than being faster and taller (not to mention their cars and restraints are literally identical). I would rather ride a coaster with lots of inversions and other unique elements rather than a traditional giga that has none of that, and a giga with inversions would be the best of both worlds in my opinion.

  • @pcprincipal7755

    Gigas also take up a ton of room as well, and a park like cedar point is packed with rides and coasters which most likely would deter them from just shoving another giga in the park and taking out a bunch of other rides.

    I love living in Ohio! On a weekly basis, I can choose which giga coaster I want to ride whether that be Orion or Millennium Force ‼️ I hope for other parks’ sakes that more gigas are added! But it also isn’t the most cost effective option and hypers usually can stun the crowd height wise. Most of my friends who only went to kings island used to be stunned by diamondbacks height. Even I was in shock at Diamondback’s height when I first when there as a 9 year old. So I’m sure the height of a hyper can really shock the average guest at most parks which just gives no reason to build a giga for most parks. Also, like what some other comments said, Europe has no reason to build a giga coaster at least in terms of being marketable. Being 91 meters tall is not nearly as significant and marketable in the metric system as opposed to 300 feet in the US system! I could even see large scale hypers like Shambhala being added at certain places that are up in the high 250+ range and resemble gigas but not have a 300 foot drop just because there really isn’t much incentive to go to 91 meters

    I wouldn’t put it entirely past Dreamworld or Movie World in Australia to build a giga coaster of some kind because those parks are wild cards and Movie World is definitely willing to splash some serious cash on occasion (e.g. DC Rivals Hypercoaster) and Dreamworld may get some new owners or want to up the value before the owners sell, not to mention they have absolutely no issues with height restrictions. That said there’s never been a B&M in Australia before and Movie World is working on a new family area to open in 2024 so won’t be adding anything thrilling until at least 2025/2026.
    Dreamworld has the space, it’s lost its 300+ foot coaster (an Intamin Reverse freefall) but like I said the owners are a wild card and have neglected the park until they added Steel Taipan (a Mack Bluefire clone with a multi-pass launch and spinning back-seat) out of desperation given their ever shrinking list of ageing rides. A new owner or desperation to up the value of the park in order to sell with the $100 million they have in their war chest from selling off another part of their business means it’s not impossible. We don’t yet know if they will sell but given their track record I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to cut their losses soon.

    "Kondaa that's already almost there" it'd need to be almost twice as high to be a giga lol.
    I can't see it happening at a Walibi park to be honest. As you said, Walibi Belgium just got Kondaa. Rhône-Alps seems to be a smaller scale park and not really Compagnie des Alpes' favorite child.
    Walibi Holland's Intamin Megacoaster Goliath does have a Gigacoaster-like layout, so perhaps if it needs replacing a giga would be a fitting upgrade. Though with the height difference between a giga and Goliath, the upgrade might almost be too big, if you get what I mean.
    Maybe in the future, Walibi Belgium could add a giga to be the Milli to Kondaa's Maverick. That'd make the most sense if it were economically viable.
    Maybe Europapark could build one too.
    Btw, I don't know if you're saying "the parent company of the Walibi parks" because the pronunciation of Compagnie des Alpes might be hard. It is pronounced "come-pahng-yee days ahlps" with the "ah" pronounced like you're saying "ahhh"

    Having just a giant first hill doesn’t cut it anymore. Why take up all that space with a single giant hill, when both the coasterboys and the general public are so in love with airtime right now? You can build a smaller coaster with tons of airtime pops now, and people just eat it up.
    Coasters that zip up and down just a single giant hill, especially, may have been novel in the early 2000s, but guests will soon be looking for something with a bit more substance these days, especially once the post-pandemic era hits full speed. That’s why I agree with your point about these giant coasters becoming more creative in the future. They need to do that, to give folks a reason to spend money.
