    Let me restate my last post. We are done with B&M vs Intamin.  It adds nothing to this thread. Any further posts will be removed.

  • To summarize the last 30 pages for those who don't want to read them: Intamin! No, B&m. No, Intamin. No B&M. But I reallllllllllllllllllly want an Intamin cause reasons. No, they break do

You bet.   Start with tearing out Racer.  Then add Racing Giga Dive coasters.   One Mack and the other B&M.

Na, both B&M coasters, Dueling Dragons! Then have a Mack Megacoaster like Icon going in and out! 

The way I figure it if they are different manuafacturers they will put extra care into it to make sure they go really fast.   What company wants a 20-30 year legacy showing  side by side the competitor is better?  :D

Racer won't go anywhere as long as me, Brian Neal, and Don Helbig are alive!

You can add me in that mix as well.

I am guessing you would find a lot of KIC members at that protest.

So, I know @LoadAndGo had a pretty cool color scheme a while back for a giga. What is yours?

I would like a blue track and white support combo similar to Gatekeepker, but a little darker blue.

I'd say green and white. Ohio already has a dark blue giga

That is as good point. Maybe go with the lighter blue then.

Every giga built has either been blue or red. I like green because there aren't that many coasters that are green

I'd love to see a color not certainly seen at KI or CP....

Maybe a true purple track and black or white track. 

I'd also like to see a bright green or orange track.

Black and white could look really good if the giga is in X-Base, but it might just be because I'd love to see this coaster have a flight-based theme.

I think it's fair to say that KI is no longer in need of red-hue coasters, considering Firehawk, Diamondback, and Banshee all are either red coasters or have elements of red-based colours (specifically Banshee with its berry/fuschia-ish colour).

If green I would want it to be a bright green. Even if it was Barbie pink I would still ride it.

Would they have to buy the rights for Barbie if they for some reason did a Barbie pink?:D

I like the idea of purple or green track color. As long as it's not a main color already seen at Kings Island multiple times on coasters.

Has anyone on here actually been on a mack?

19 minutes ago, chugh43 said:

I've been on a few.

Like blue fire or helix.  Or like wild mice and journey to Atlantis types?

I'd have to go through my list and see what exactly they are....but I've not been on Blue Fire or Helix.

Never say never. Just saying. B&M won't try anything new haha yawn! I'd rather it be Mack for sure if not Intamin. Just my own opinion.

I would like a military themed Giga in X-base someone said dark green with tan supports and I dig it.

 

Orange track with black supports or Dark purple track with black supports would be nice as well. I would even love a really bright neon green.

If it did go into X-base do the military theme with dark green track and tan supports, call it Commando. I have built a coaster like this in Planet Coaster, I should make a video of it but im too lazy...

The marketing options are endless with a name like Commando.  I love it.  

“Go Commando this Summer Season at Kings Island!”  

#GoCommando sure beats #whatsintheshed

To expand on the military theming the trains could have a humvee type theming with camouflage 

Are there any coasters with camouflage themeing?   

The gift shop would sell tons of camouflage booty shorts with “Go Commando” plastered on the rear.  Think of the per caps with that one!

Of course a “certain someone” would have to go and feminize it with an ie nickname.

Commie.     :rolleyes:
