That's exactly what I thought- MF and I305 seem more complete rides in that sense

leviathan trains are not open air, watch some pictures of the train and you'll see. I don't know why B&M didn't use them in leviathan but maybe it is because behemoth already has open air trains…

I also don't think leviathan is that good.

They don't have that far to go.

I totally agree Steven. The ride ends going extremely fast way up high. They could add another half of the roller coaster at the end. What a huge waste of speed. The first half looks awesome…but what about the 2nd half that was omitted?

At first I was a little dissapointed… dont get me wrong a B&M Giga is awesome!!… but the layout could've been better. Its built on what seems like a skinny piece of land so they didnt have much to work with, but still, maybe a better ending? However, now that the lift/drop is done, I'm sooo excited and I understand why Wonderland went with a giga rather than an invert or an intamin blitz…. that drop is so intimidating and HUGE!! (Yes, I know, thats what she said)

It has been topped off and it looks great! I wonder if because the chain is going through the track if they will be able to make the chain go faster.

I just want to clear a few things up. It may seem like a 'simple' coaster but this ride is implementing some new technologies never seen in rides of this caliber. for starters, the chain system is built directly into the lift hill, meaning the chain moves through the supporting track. The way the first drop is designed, from a visual standpoint, on the way down you cannot see any structural steel holding the track up, giving you the feeling the track is floating in air. The main track box (square under box unique to B&M) is an actual support column to hold the lift hill up. see pic (http://www.cwmania.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-2915) same thing goes at the bottom of the lift hill. Only two massive A-frame supports hold the entire 300+ feet.

As for the break run, seems dull, but the sole purpose is mainly for maintenance on the trains. If the layout was any longer there would be more down time on the trains due to wheels etc wearing out. Never before has a B&M train traveled on course with such speed.

In the long run B&M is always testing out new tech in their rides. I'm sure future B&M giga's will be even more outstanding. This ride will be amazing no doubt.

If you go to CWMania.com, on the construction thread page 27, you can see the first drop and lift are almost done and the brake run is done.

They are kind of cornered in by streets but there is alot of land clearing behind Ghost Rider. If the ride went through out the entire park( even in the parking lot) It would probably be an awesome ride.
