Someone on Facebook in a live video said he predicts that the theme of this coaster will be you're on a mission to save the world. 

Don’t forget during the deconstruction of Firehawk, the image of the track being pulled apart by a “Vortex”-like robotic hand pulling the track and the deep maniacal laugh that accompanied the destruction. Does anyone here have a copy of that to post?

Nobody has stated the obvious that asteroids caused the Dinosaurs to go extinct and ties in with Dinosaurs Alive which this runs through.

Hypothetically speaking, if the lift hill was 296 but the drop was 325 (longer than fury’s) would people consider it a giga. Or would people still be hung up on the lift hill height?

99% of the general public and enthusiasts would agree that a 296 foot tall coaster with a 301 foot drop is a giga, as will be the case with ours.

I look at it this way: It is the drop, and not the height, that determines the ride experience of a coaster. Therefore, if there is a drop that is over 200/300, it's a hyper/giga. So Apollo's Chariot and Phantom's Revenge are Hypers. If the drop is under 200/300 feet, but the height is over and there's not some outlandish discrepancy between them (such as the "900 foot" coaster that once operated in Vegas with about a 10 foot drop) then it also counts. So Magnum and Millennium Force count despite their drops being not quite 200 and not quite 300 feet. Someone many, many pages ago mentioned that 10% is their rule of thumb. I think that's decent enough, but setting a hard line at 10% is a bit too cut and dry for me. I feel like if it was 11%, I'd count it personally.

I’m with you on this.

No not quite. It was a visual robotic hand pulling it apart with a maniacal laugh. I think it was on a Facebook page. I can’t be sure because I don’t have Facebook.

Whatever the final stats are, I know it's going to be a really fun coaster that will bring in good crowds for the park. Maybe I'm too hung up on superficial stuff, but I'm already not thrilled with the blue/white color scheme so I'm REALLY hoping that the name doesn't end up being Polaris or Orion. Neither sounds intense enough to be attached to such a big coaster, especially given the context of all the teasers, and Polaris just makes me think of the Polaris mall in Cbus.  ANYTHING but those names lol.

It could be worse. We could be getting a big, bad B&M Hyper with a completely unintimidating name like Candymonium.

When researching the crater Chicxulub and the asteroid that made dinosaurs go extinct, I found this mission executed in 2016 (around the time that this roller coaster project would’ve been forming) that I thought sounded interesting. It also may just be my optimism that the height will be 350+ feet.

It has nothing to do with him.

The eyebrow & land clearing COMPLETELY contradict each other.

I agree. As much as facing up a great height can be intimidating, looking down is far scarier.

Maybe the land clearing matches the Unibrow?

I actually don't mind the name Candymonium. Yes, it could be more intimidating, but it's unique and really fits well with the park.

Not to mention, you can build a coaster off of the end of a 900 foot building (which was done in Vegas), but if you only have a 10 foot drop, you're still only going to reach a speed of under 20 mph. The drop is what determines the speed of the ride.

The land clearing he needs for that unibrow would be comparable to the land being cleared for SoB.........

Yes. And it was gripping Firehawk as it was being destroyed. Followed by a maniacal laugh.

sorry this might seem a little late for you guys but I will have a CSF track update for you guys at about 6:40

Polarorion: Revenge Of The Unibrow

Big closed semi heading back on the service road under Banshee right now. No track delivery though from what I see. Been watching cam all day haha

I couldn't find the hand ripping up the Firehawk track but at the end of the promo it is holding The Vortex track followed by a laugh.

Just want to make sure it's been discussed that Brezhnev, Bruce, Lester Bangs, and Bernstein are all mentioned in REMs classic tune: TEOTWAWKI 

Thanks to this thread I'll never be able to ride this coaster without images of that glorious unibrow popping up in my head

interesting that i get bashed multiple times, after the rules of the "friendly" forum get posted, for stating that the common way for giga is height and admitting that the other people that brought exceptions are right without me knowing. oh well

we'll see what the coaster looks like on thursday. i hope it has a height of more than 296' so that the park doesn't get crap about it not being the shortest of the giga class

what if the drop continues underground - like the coaster is the meteor hurtling towards earth and plummets into earth...
