i went to SFOT this summer i went for 1 1/2 days on a teen tour i was with that tours the country riding coasters which was a great experience. anyway over the 1 1/2 days i rode The Texas Giant 8 times and each time was absolutely incredible!!! i sat back row i think 4 of the times. i was so surprised by how smooth it was i didnt feel shaking at all from the wooden supports, which i thought i would. the banked turns were awesome and the air time was great. if only i could ride it more often which i cant since im from new york. not only was it a great coaster but the theming was pretty good too the chicken coop where the walk of shamers go is hysterical every time someone goes in it chicken noises are made, and the trains are awesome looking. and the tunnels are really cool with the lights and steam even though every time there was always a hard drop of water that fell on me which kinda felt like a small rock being thrown at your face, but that might just be me. overall its a great ride and i hope to be able to ride it again. this is a must if your in the dallas area

My favorite part was either the double up after the first drop or the little hill before the MCBR. Both of those are like El Toro Rolling Thunder moments for me

For me, this ride eats El Toro, and spits it out on Kingda Ka.

OSM you are absolutely right about Nitro! Nitro's front seat is a lot better than any other row. Almost every time I ride it I sit in the front! I dont know why, but nitro is just awesome in the front and good in the other seats. Its hard to explain. However, I did read something somewhere about Nitro being adjusted so that the front has as much air as the back or something. Also, you get the ultimate feeling of vulnerability and freedom as there is nothing in front of you, or on the sides of you, and only a clam shaped lap bar to keep you in. Nitro's front is definitey the best seat on the ride.

Hey C C I know exactly how you feel about the airtime. That type of airtime where your thighs get pressed up against the lap bar is very uncomfortable. Ive never ridden the new texas giant, but I experienced this on Bizarro at SFNE on every hill. Did you or anyone else experience this on bizarro?

This park is way underrated. Titan, Mr. Freeze, New Giant, Batman, Flashback, and Shockwave

Personally I think it feels like neither. It has a feeling all its own… ive ridden it about 20 ttimes now.
Its on steel track thats not tubular so technically it rides on a flat steel rails just like a wooden but theres no wood in the track…. So its not like a standard steel but its def not like a woodie…. It Iron horse Hybrid

CoasterCritic, did you ride Shockwave while you were there, it's really fun and offers some awesome airtime

I've heard it feels like a steel coaster (which it is).
