The Overbank is one of my favorite elements, and one I’m sad to say isn’t built into too many woodies. I’m happy TG is receiving this one, and I hope that it will work well enough to be incorpartated into more wooden rides around the globe.

i wouldn't compare this to Gemini. first of all, Gemini blows. it supposedly goes 60 mph, but you feel no speed at all, and there is not a trace of airtime on the whole ride. second, the wood decor that surrounds the twin snoozer isn't even connected to the track. (or doesn't seem to be). its a tubular steel track with steel supports, enclosed with some B.S. woodwork to fool people in the queue. Whereas this Texas Giant re-profiling looks to be flat steel track and wood everything else. The coaster should still sway and give like a woodie, just with less bounce and rattle due to the new track. So i hope anyway, the world needs no more bastardized junk heaps like Gemini.

I see it as being a steel coaster, because it is classified based on the type of track. It's a lot like Gemini @ Cedar Point.

It's not being moved, but it IS being reprofiled, with its wooden track being replaced by new, steel track. It is also recieving new trains. I would guess that a similar element to that turn was there before, and it's profile is being changed. As for your first question (How is this possible?), the answer is Math and Science.

Um…. How is this possible? Isn't Texas Giant being moved? And if so, was this there before? IDK?????

Giant should have a new classification (not steel or wood). But that turn looks sick! If that could be done with Son of Beast…
